I don't know when and how someone "established" that, by I didn't get the memo. He did say in a direst quote that someone called his house an said that they hope his plane crashed. Once again, I can't think of anyone keeping an open mind about that.
Hey, Dee, you will be happy to know that Johnny's bus averaged 55.7 miles per hour on that trip.Dee said:...and then sat on a bus for three hours to Kansas City.
While you are correct about those specific cases (i.e., death wishes and death threats), I do think Johnny still is not all that open-minded about those who deal with things differently than he does. For example, I didn't think too much of his crack about PETA; and while what Mr. Ludington did was not (IMO) professional, it also should not be put in the same league as a death threat -- but Johnny didn't sound all that tolerant of him either.
........and we even sang Happy Birthday to him in Omaha......of all places.I skated a show in Omaha, Nebraska of all places
I have to respectfully disagree. I hope he keeps talking, and giving the 'Johnny Viewpoint' for many years to come.The interest in this sport has declined dramatically in the US, although thankfully it is suddenly growing overseas in Russia and Japan. Johnny has helped to bring the sport 'to the masses' once again.
Johnny transcends the sport, and right now, he is the only US male figure skater to really do so. I see it all the time. Sit next to someone on an airplane, and they know who Johnny Weir is. Go to a high school hockey game, and even hockey dads know who Johnny Weir is.
Johnny really isn't nearly that recognizable. I saw him for about 45 minutes at a relatively crowded train station and not a single person recognized him.

He had a problem with them harrassing him (classic PETA btw).
he could take the high road and ignore them completely
which is what most of us against PETA's actions do... he's just asking for more of a fight... granted I loved what he said, but at the same time if he wants them to stop he shouldn't fuel the fire with words...
