Well I don't want to get into splitting hairs but I think James might have been

The post that you (Todd) refer to is clear cut but the other post is definitely
a bit more "gray" and more open to interpretation. (I personally didn't take

Either way I think it sucks that TLC has forced Todd to police this. I would
feel much better if TLC would make a statement of their own that was not full
of ambiguity.
