I can't find the original emails - they were on a bunch of boards about a year ago. Here's Kent's response.

Kent McClard of Ebullition anti-cat stance reaction posting - totally fun!!!

Anti-Cat stance coming... HeartattaCk ..48

As many of you have seen I posted an anti-cat viewpoint here on my news page. A LOT of cat lovers have e-mailed me to complain, and in almost every case I sent them a reply.

I got into a very long discussion with one guy who happens to be in a band from NYC. Without asking me or informing me he then went and posted my e-mail messages to him on some message boards. I didn't write these e-mails to him with the intent that he would publish them. They were personal e-mails between he and I.

By posting them without asking/telling me he took away my right/ability to defend my views and to elaborate or explain my position to anyone that read or posted on these message boards.

Now I will be forced to go into more detail on this subject. So I will be writing about it in the next issue of HeartattaCk.

If you read these e-mails that were posted on the internet please understand they were never meant for you. I wrote them for one person and one person alone.

I am extremely pissed off that he published them.

This was a cowardly response on his part. Rather than arguing with me directly, which I was perfectly fine doing, he decided to remove my ability to defend myself so that he could make fun of me behind my back.

I suppose it was a lot easier for him to win the argument once I no longer had any voice.

Bravo, brave man.

This is not to say that I didn't write these e-mails, but part of our communication was what I would call thinking out loud. I was using our discussion to learn and to develop my own views. They were always written in haste and with passion, and I would have written in a very different tone if I had known they were going to be public record.

I always try to respond when people write to me personally, but maybe I shouldn't do that anymore.

In any event, more to come...

- Kent

That is some next-level fun shit!

I am only into FUN PUNK.

Fun Punk is not a music it is a way of life. I always notice those who are in on FUN PUNK when they come to town and hang out.

Vinnie's got it right.

house of blues is the most intimate and personal venue ever. im surprised their true hardcore didnt shine there.

i saw bad religion there on the "against the gray generator parabola" tour. i got the limited tour MP3 card. it was extremely hard core.

Oh yeah, I went to that tour, the push mosh was fucking sick.

thats the title of the upcoming NOFX album.

Man my friend told me about NOFX and I thought they were gonna be like, way hardcore, but I went to their concert at the House of Blues and they were totally just a fun punk band with name brand guitars.
