This is fine; it's his webpage and, of course, he's free to do it. But it sounds like Mr Shinn is not giving Alton Brown the same freedom. Now Shinn is like an attacking commenter. <br /><br />I trying to point out the slight injustice---as I see it. Anne, I apologize for the miscommunication.

Seriously? You see what Amy and I wrote as an attack? And people say I'M sensitive?<br /> We were simply venting our frustrations...<br />If we were attacking, we'd be name calling. <br />Oy. Attack?

We were simply venting our frustrations…
If we were attacking, we'd be name calling.
Oy.

However, I beg to differ about being a product and not a person. Being a big fan of Alton Brown, I like him as a person and do not just think of him as a show. I think of him as a teacher, someone who has changed my perception of cooking, and in essence, my life (regarding cooking for myself). I would love to sit down and have coffee with him. Not all celebrities are like this, but as you read in his fanifesto, he's more "human" than a lot of celebrities out there. He actually cares, and that's something to be admired. He wrote Good Eats for himself, and was overwhelmed by the positive response from viewers on his show. He's grown into his role of celebrity, but still tries to be caring and considerate. I've met the man 3 times and I have friends that have met him more than that - they would agree with me on this point. His fanifesto was about people who have actually done this to him in the past, including signing a hamster and a ferret. There's nothing wrong with setting boundaries.
