   She's not wrong, nor was she when she said in another interview "Am I   
   supposed to keep releasing albums for the joy of these people who   
   verbally abuse me on the internet?" She got so much shit from people who   
   didn't really understand what she was doing or why, and some who didn't   
   care about that as much as they wanted to shit on some woman doing   
   something their tiny genitals didn't like. Anyway, I've really   
   re-thought a lot of things about the now-late Gail and how certain   
   things actually happened over the years. I hope other people have, too.
