I think so too. My family is always telling me "Ignore the bad reviews", but it's not that easy for me. When someone says something nasty to me or about me, it upsets me. I simply cannot change that about myself.

I think he speaks volumes about Matthew that he takes the abuse without sinking to their (the insulters) level. Maybe he does in private, to vent or what-have-you, but I have never seen anything negative come from him in print or film.

Maybe it's cause I dont read and/or watch everything he does/is in, but I get around enough to know that at the very least, if he DOES speak negatively about others, he doesn't do it often.

I just want to give that man a hug in the worst way.
