I did not say that all comedians are overrated. I just said that there are some who I think aren't that funny, yet get more publicity. As a comedian yourself, aren't there other comedians who you don't think are very funny?

Please, I don't want this to turn into another pointless feud. It was not meant as a personal attack, it was simply a question to ask people about their opinions. If I misphrased it or said it in a way that you found offensive, I apologize. But I don't understand your reaction: how does my saying that I don't think those other comedians are funny hurt you? Did I say that people who like Dave Chappelle, Bill Hicks and Andy Kaufman are stupid? No, I didn't. I simply said that I didn't find them funny, and I'm not going to belittle other people who like them simply because I don't. We're all entitled to our own opinions and preferences, and we should be allowed to express them without worrying about a hostile reaction.

Okay, I said my piece. If you still want to dislike me after this, fine, that's your decision. Just remember, I was simply stating my point of view as a topic of discussion, and a difference of opinion seems like a foolish thing to spark such an uproar.
