Paul Steed hat sich nun das erste mal öffentlich nach seinem Rausschmiss bei id geäußert:

„I just wanted to say thanks for all the support everyone has been sending. Knowing that most of you out there see through the chaff and get to the meat of what I´m about makes me feel very good about alot of things I could be questioning. I´m still too angry right now to make any sort of lucid or meaningful response to all this so I´ll refrain from going into it too deeply. My time at id was priceless and no doubt ranks among the most memorable of my life. However, everyone involved in this fiasco knows it´s complete and utter Bullshit. I hope the ones responsible for this wasteful and pointless act enjoy what they see in that mirror every day. My committment and dedication to id was unquestioning – people are just blind to their insipid loyalties and petty insecurities. Bah. Whatever. At least John set the record straight. Time and PR crap may try to change that, but he was man enough to speak up. For that he will always have my admiration, respect and assurance that when he´s sick of all that mess…he knows where to find me.“
