: Rudy: Over the years, I admired your
: skating, even though I thought at
: times it came across as extremely
: fay. However, you had style and
: grace and overcame some challenges.
: Unfortunately, style, grace and most
: of all compassion are grossly
: lacking in your manner off the ice.
:
: Your rude, crass comments directed
: to one of the female constestants
: was shocking and completely uncalled
: for. Telling this person she has to
: lose weight has nothing to do with
: her performance as a skater. Did it
: ever occur to you how many young
: girls may be watching this show, and
: thanks to you, may be pushed just a
: little closer to anorexia and
: bulimia. No, and obviously you
: don't care and do not hold yourself
: accountable to what you say. Words
: have power, especially words from
: someone people may admire, and
: sadly, that includes you.
:
: Your behaviour, laughter and mean
: comments make you look like a
: bitter, catty queen. Yes...that is
: exactly how you come across on this
: show. Rudy...grow up and show some
: respect. You worked hard to earn the
: respect of others, including many
: who may not agree with your chosen
: lifestyle. Show the same respect to
: those reaching for their dream.

: 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.
