![[-] BootsySpankinsPI 2 points 3 minutes ago Hey, Bootsy here. I've tried for a couple of years to avoid this kind of drama, and it's never been my intention to ever come into these subs because it's a place for the fans. As I've said in response to several tweets and emails, I don't find it ethical to discuss business matters with the public no matter what the job is. But it's also not of my nature to sit around without defending myself. I hope you can understand the situation that I was unexpectedly thrown into last night without warning. Simply put, I had a number of long-standing concerns that grew during my time there. These problems worsened to the point where it became extremely personal and to the point where I felt it was necessary to directly express my dissatisfaction. These concerns were met with confrontation and disagreement, and as Mike has accurately stated, it was difficult to imagine moving forward after that. If I appear to be agitated by this, it's because it's hard not to be. I considered myself a loyal friend for 20+ years who was working hard to contribute consistent entertainment to a channel that I cared deeply about - for fans that I still care about. As far as the payment rumors go: Mike is correct in that I was paid to edit the Mike & Bootsy episodes. I was also paid to edit some early episodes of Board James (Tornado Rex, Donut Disaster, etc.), but I was not compensated for my acting, writing, music, or DVD/Blu-ray sales. The only reason why I made this clear earlier is because some people were trying to show their support for me after I'd left by telling me that they'd bought a DVD, and I found it important that they were aware that their money was not going to me. This was not, however, one of the major concerns that I mentioned earlier. I understand what it's like to be a fan. I'm a huge music nerd. I still admire many bands, and if one of the main members unexpectedly left without explanation, I'd feel the same exact way. I'd search for answers. I just ask of you to respect our decision to handle the details of our dispute in a professional matter. The fan base in general has been incredibly kind to me over the years, and I am very lucky for that. So I hope that I have cleared some air and dispelled some rumors. This is all that I have to say about the matter. Thank you for listening, now please allow me to get back to studying my pocket thesaurus.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/929/016/eab.png "Bootsy Responds")
