He hasn't said what he means by "unethical" because he's embarrassed by his childish overreaction and misuse of the word. Hopefully, he'll summon his courage and be man enough to apologize.

If you don’t have the guts to answer and give specifics, you should retract your libelous comments and apologize. Nothing in Fripp's diaries (yes, I've read them) OR Belew's blog indicates that either man has been "unethical." (And nothing in your reply is relevant to the issue, either.)

I do in fact drink Kool Aid, diet, as I am diabetic. Next, what your opinion dictates as cowardly and evasive my education details as fair and balanced. Lest we all lose perspective on this, perhaps I should make it clear, you are dealing with a die-hard Adrian Belew fan here. I bought all of the discs he sold that were available with autographs, Bears, solo, Power Trio, all my copies are signed, purchased from the artist (guess I can kiss that good-bye). I own the Japanese imports of Lone Rhino and Twang Bar King. Next, I own the original DCI copy of The Adrian Belew Electronic Guitar on VHS. Mr. DeVito, do you own that? Lastly, I spent over one thousand dollars to get a guitar painted, inspired by Belew, and another thousand to have it outfitted with a guitar synth so I could play along with Belew's parts on solo, Bears and King Crimson records. Perhaps I should put you all in touch with my wife who saw me AGONIZE over having made such a discovery? Again, I recommend reading Fripp's words for yourselves. Poor excuse, as was mentioned in another post, I cannot attest, all I did was gather the facts and report on them. This is the last I will speak on this matter as I have been assigned other things. The final word on this is that it is my opinion, that's all. For all our sakes, let's hope this is all for naught. To Mr. DeVito,
