"I'm trying to be fucking serious with you, and you have no right to just laugh in my face and hang up on me. I'm an easy going person, and I don't complain about much. And while what you wrote was funny, it was uncalled for and stupid. I don't give a fuck about being able to log on to that page anymore...I just don't want you writing retarded fucking shit like that. You've cancelled practice just as much as anyone else has...and your assumption that nobody wants to ever practice is bullshit. I look forward to practicing every time. I wouldn't fucking be in this band if I didn't want to be...and that goes for everyone."
