I know what many of you guys are thinking.."Uh-oh, there he goes again! :rolleyes: " Wrong. Read below and see for yourself.
Dear Ms. Goldberg,
My name is Dennis Baker, AKA "Dendawg" on the Toon Zone message board "Termite Terrace Trading Post." As you may have gathered by this time, I am the person who originally started the petition to have you removed from your position. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to you, and all other members of Toonzone, as my opinion is not necessarily representative of theirs.
I do understand your frustration at my actions. However, before you react, think about how your networks' actions have frustrated us classic animation fans. Please read the following excerpt from your quote that inspired my actions below:

Do you realize how many potential fans you could turn off by a statement like that? Granted, you are probably under a lot of pressure. However, I feel that does not justify risking alienating your oldest fans. As difficult as it may be to believe, there are fans of "Goober and the Ghostchasers" also.
I do not believe that we fans are asking anything too incredibly difficult. After all, if it wasn't for animation fans like us, it is more than likely that "Cartoon Cartoons" would not exist today, much less become the flagship franchise that it seems to be today.
It's just that us classic animation fans have been left out in the cold, seemingly, by the expansion of "Cartoon Cartoons." I fervently hope that that isn't so.
Again, I apologize for my petiton, and hope that Speedy Gonzales, along with other unseen classic animation characters, appear on Cartoon Network.
Thank you for your time,
Dennis Baker
