Samm or JJ (don't know who is who on these chatsites) sent me an e-mail explaining what they said. They were just trying to be realists, and hoped they were proven wrong. I believe the exact words were they "had a pit in their stomach for Barbaro", so Tao is 100% wrong about them. I too thought it was a little classless, but I see what they were saying. Thankfully they were wrong.

Tao is just an idiot looking for attention.
