Justin Long has replaced Vin Diesel on my celebrity hated list. He's a total hipster sack of dogshit. I hope somebody tortures him to death.

I know nothing about whether he posted anything or even if he should or should not have. I am not effected by anything anyone says about him, against him or For him...What I do know is that unless one has the skin of a Rhinocerus or is on Prosac they have feelings... Everyone has the RIGHT to an opinion and while that IS true, to Dis someone publicly for any reason, no mater who is being Dis'ed or who the one is doing it, people have feelings.... We all should take that into concideration and not cross that line for ANY reason...and as far as Justin Long is concerned, I have loved his work or at least the way he has portrayed it to be skillful. Though I use a Mac (or maybe BECAUSE I use a Mac) I enjoy the "I'm a Mac" commercial and although he may not (in real Life) feel that way or may not be this character he is portraying for a living at all, he is at least working in a craft he obviously loves doing.. Most of us, I feel, would be happy to JUST be doing that Ourselves... anyway, good luck to you sir, with your articles and to You Justin, as well, with your craft.. I know the feeling from both side of this fence... I create a lot of artwork and I know that I would have it that everyone LOVES my works but, alas, not everyone will...such is life, eh?? Peace to you both.....gene I don’t know Mr. Long and won’t pretend to.. I know nothing about whether he posted anything or even if he should or should not have.

I can relate to Onewhoknows... my best friend is the kindest, most generous person I've ever known and has to endure that type of tension and stress every day. Not only does it take a toll on my friend, who has enough troubles without all the attention, but for her friends (me especially) I get sick of random ppl. shoving u out of the way in order to talk to someone they think they know, but really don't know anything about. Forget picturing this for one day - imagine it in a span of over 5 years... Wow… first of all, can’t believe I read this all in one sitting, lol.

Justin did write those articles...I asked him. One other thing though. I have never even come close to touching celebrity before I knew Justin and all of you that think it's a cat walk and an easy slide into a huge bank account have no idea what you are talking about. This is a sweet guy that I have known since he was a child. Imagine your best friend or your cousin trying to do what they love and getting home late at night and finding that someone has decided he is the most annoying person of 2006. I don't care how thick your skin is, it would sting. Imagine wanting to go out to have a drink in your own hometown with a really good high school friend and finding that you can't even sit at a table in a bar and have a conversation without a few girls coming up to you and asking for your autograph, which you graciously give to them. They then they ask if they can "sit" with you and you say, I'm sorry, I would love to normally, but I am here with an old friend and I'd like to talk to him. Imagine that their response to you is OH OK, so we're not good enough for you? How would you deal with that? Now pretend if you are not gracious, SOMEONE will note it. Imagine that that same night some person came up and slammed a disposable camera into your face and just clicked, flash and all, about two inches from your eyeballs. Imagine now that because you are a celebrity, not even a big one, but one nonetheless, that you have to smile and say "Dude, what was that? Ok, if you want my picture, just ask. Then you stand up and smile and let him take the picture. You know why? One because it has become your job, but because I know Justin, two is because his parents raised a loving, polite kind person and he would never ever treat someone badly. I know this comment will get alot of hostile responses, but the fact is this. Imagine that you are a normal woman that lives in a normal house in a normal home. Imagine that someone you really care about and who you KNOW is a wonderful person all of the sudden takes a whole lot of crap because of what he does for a living. I don't want you to feel sorry for him, he's a pretty happy guy, he's doing what he loves. I just want you all to realize that celebrities are not any different than you an I. If they were asses before they became famous, they probably still are. Justin was not and is not. Thanks for listening. This is my first and last attempt to defend Justin. I again have to state that Patrick did no wrong in my mind. I just wanted you all to think of Justin as you think of yourself when you are in your dorm room slumped over that computer. He did that. He found his passion which pays pretty good, so he's lucky. And then again he's not. Cut him some slack OK, here I am again…and I thought I owed you guys the truth.

If he was such a 'bad actor' how is he making millions while most of you are only making thousands. Let people do their jobs. How would you feel if someone spitted out insults about the work you do?
