Ergh, I hit publish before I typed my reply! In short, yes, very much so.

I'm just amazed this is coming as a shock to anyone. I've abhorred the man since the 1980's when he first became a public name. I kept hoping he'd go away; he struck me as an arrogant, nasty piece of work who treated other people like chattel. But other celebrities (media, talk show hosts etc) wouldn't see that because by and large he was nice to them.
