Posted by ed Have you forgotten, Rudy, your competitive history as a singles skater prior to nationals in San Jose? You weren't always a shining star either. For someone who describes himself as being a perfectionist, you sure did fall a lot. And calling another skater overdramatic? Sounds like someone is calling the kettle black. If you wanted to play the show's "Simon," fine. But doing it at the expense of other people? There's no excuse for that. You spent your entire life building a fan base with your skating. You opened your mouth for a few precious minutes, and lost this fan for good. --Previous Message--

I was shocked at this behavior.
: i hope the other professionals have
: enough sense to run as fast as they
: can away from you rudy.
: your behavior was sickening.
: i was going to attend the champions
: on ice but now i will not as i

: I was sickened at your behaviour on
: the first episode, Rudy. I have met
: you backstage a few times and never
: thought you would come across so
: mean. Many people have supported
: your skating and your ilness, even
: though we might not agree with your
: lifestyle. You should be ashamed to
: be openly laughing at someone while
: they are trying to do their best on
: such a small rink. You'd should hope
: that the girl that you called fat
: doesn't fall victem to anorexia
: because of your comments. She was no
: bigger than Katerina or Roz. Do you
: tell them that, too. I will watch
: because I want to see them do well,
: but maybe I will turn down the
: volume for your comments. If I want
: to see nastiness I could waste my
: time watching Simon on
: "American Idol". Shame on
: you!!

: I agree Carl.
: I've been a supporter of Rudy, since
: I realized he was the little brother
: of George Galindo, who I adored and
: worked with many years ago.
: Last night I was surprised at Rudy's
: feedback and wished he had opted for
: constructive criticism. When it
: came to the scene where he laughed
: at another person trying to reach a
: dream, with a heavy heart I turned
: off the TV. (And I will not tune in
: again.)
:
: It's easy to lose sight of where
: we've come from. I feel last night
: was a huge lapse in common courtesy
: and judgement.
:
: I was tremendously disappointed and
: found the behaviour very juvenile.

: I have always admired your courage
: as
: a gay man dealing with adversity and
: the way you held your head high when
: faced with difficult health issues.
: However, after watching the show
: tonight and observing the way you
: laughed at a decent person trying to
: realize their dream I am left
: feeling more than disapointed, I
: guess I thought that you were better
: than that. If it made for better TV
: it did nothing for the high
: impression that myself and others
: had of you. Please don't sell
: yourself short for the sake of
: ratings.
