For anyone who missed it, here's the word from the man -- or mau5 -- himself.
That should be the end of the discussion.

i find it quite shameful for most people to make a judgement on someones character because of the logistics of a performance, which like i said... is sorted by other people, and not myself... if i had to oversee every contract, detail, this and that of every gig... I may as well stop making music and developing ideas and become a booking agent. which is simply why im removed from all of it.
but, yeah, this was definatley a weird one, and of course, if anyones name is going to get dragged through the mud, its gunna be mine.
but yeah, to put an end to the better part of this nonsense...
i dont have a problem with what other artists are doing when theyre booked on the same night, all i care about is one thing... showing up, having a great time, and helping others have a great time. It's quite useless to get caught up with the politics some people present around what you want to do.... best bet, is just keeping my head up and having a great time.
