'''He is also known for critizing a dead-man,"no shock at all that Steve Irwin should die provoking a dangerous animals". His outlandish comments against such a great man were ignornant and made him look like a total asswhole infront of the world.''' [1] [2] [3])
Besides spelling and grammar mistakes, this unsigned comment doesn't criticize Irwin but expresses a lack of surprise at his demise. Bob98133 15:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
But when asked by the magazine who he considered influential, he joked, spree killer “ Andrew Cunanan, because he got Gianni Versace to stop using fur,” a quip for which he was widely criticized.
I bet he was criticized for this but shouldn't this have references to note who criticized him? Also "widely" seems like it's POV. Maybe it should be changed to something like: a quip for which he was criticized.(with references)? Bob98133 15:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- added "senior" to vice president in article and photo caption as this is his title according to PETA
- removed "Gary Glitter" and replaced with "Morrissey" - I could find no reference to Mathews ever working with Glitter but he is known to have worked with Morrissey/The Smiths
- added "in Italy" which is where he did modeling and acting
- added link to Genre Magazine and indicated that it is a gay lifestyle mag which makes Mathews comment about Versace a bit more clear
- removed link to Activist Cash page of quotes by Mathews since quotes weren't relevent to link
- added Further Reading section and added Mathews book "Committed"
- removed "widely" criticized per above comment
-provided reference and link to newspaper interview where Mathews says that he does not condemn animal rights activists who commit illegal acts. Other folks, apparently trying to hide this documented fact, keep trying to change the focus to avoid admitting Mathews explicitly says he does not condemn people for breaking the law. This is, of course, an important ethical point that is worth having out i the open (unless Mathews has since repudiated that position). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.249.153 ( talk) 18:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Here's the entire paragraph, complete (not the splice job you made to cover things up: I wonder if he is angered by fringe elements of the movement who squander public sympathy by sending death threats and breaking the law. His blue eyes flash indignantly."I can't control it at all. But I will say that I've always been drawn to extremes. And I understand them and sympathise with them. Peta goes about things in a totally law-abiding way, but we understand the emotions that are involved in this issue and we completely understand why people are driven to extremes, even though it's not the way we choose to do it. So as a result we don't condemn them either."
He is asked about people "breaking the law" and gives that answer. Please stop trying to cover up this simple point. If Mathews in fact condemns animal activists who "break the law", you are free to find that quote and/or he is free to say so. In the meantime, please respect the integrity of the quote he willingly gave to a question that was posed to him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.249.153 ( talk) 15:17, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
The reference is given and the entire paragraph quoted verbatim above. He is asked about people who "squander public sympathy by sending death threats and breaking the law", and answers that he does not condemn them. Please do show the IP editor this discussion. If that person can read, it's clear that my addition is referenced and a very objective report of his reply. Posting references of a subject's printed quotes is not vandalism, it is scholarship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.10.159.70 ( talk) 16:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
OK, now I've simply put the question and posted the entire paragraph of Mathews' reply as a quote. If you think I've summarized the reporter's question improperly ("I wonder if he is angered by fringe elements of the movement who squander public sympathy by sending death threats and breaking the law. "), improve it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.10.159.70 ( talk) 17:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
It's interesting that Bob98133 does not want Mathew's direct quotes to be known on Wikipedia... Perhaps Mr. Mathews should have gotten Bob98133's permission before doing an interview with the Guardian? 35.10.159.70 ( talk) 18:12, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
