You also have to remember how extremely callous and insensitive JMS
was to Andrea Thompson near the end of season 2; she was also Jerry's
wife at the time. Of course his feeling for JMS isn't going to be all
warm-fuzzy.

And, may I ask, where were you at the time?  Were you at the stage?  Were you
privy to conversations?  On what do you base this?

She wanted more screen time, at what would have been at the expense of the
overall arc of the story. I couldn't comply.  She chose to leave.  There has
never been any dispute about any of this as far as I've ever seen.

So I suggest you either retract that statement, or back it up, because I don't
much like it when I get libeled by someone who doesn't have the first clue what
he's talking about, stating things as though they were fact.
