*So I've met Chris Taylor Brown a few times & all I can say about him is that he's definitely not the way he appears to be while on social networks. When you meet him he's actually incredibly chill & easy to talk to about things. Social media in general is like a whole nother kind of Temptation for some people I guess when it comes to debates & arguments; so maybe he could word things better at the end of the day on his own personal profiles & not the band's profile. They portray him here at the extreme with all this, which is also too bad while in the face of Trapt's situation.*
