Okay, I couldn't resist, and went over and read it right away.  He's an 
entertaining fella.
Here's more on the Claudia/Jason panel drama.
From http://www.intellectualblathering.com/archives/2334:
>> We went to a Babylon 5 panel that was supposed to feature Claudia Christian 
and Jason Carter together, discussing the relationship of Marcus and Ivonova. 
Unfortunately, even we did not avoid Celebrity Drama this weekend (after 
hearing how the Star Trek: The Next Generation panel fell apart).  Claudia 
Christian seemed to have decided to use the panel to plug for her current 
projects and didnąt want to share the stage with her co-star. Initially, it 
seemed that the back-and-forth between the pair was just good-natured 
teasing, but about 15 minutes into the panel, Claudia Christian picked up her 
things and left (apparently completely baffling the audience and Jason Carter 
about what had been done to piss her off).  It seemed like a completely 
unexpected bit of prima donna-ish behavior from her, because nothing 
particularly insulting had been said.
Jason Carter, however, saved the panel and managed to turn it into one of the 
funniest weąd seen this Con.  He didnąt seem to think it a chore to discuss 
Babylon 5 or his character and was quite happy to answer questions put forth 
by the audience.  He was hilarious and kind and appreciative of the fans. <<
There's a comment under the post that elaborates further on it.
And, Claudia posts about it on her Facebook page, including this:
>> It was my half hour to talk about my new show and for the second night in a 
row he would not let me get a word in edge wise. The first night he 
prohibited me from showing the trailer i had cut especially for dragon con 
and the second night he interrupted my half hour after 5 minutes. He was 
drunk and obnoxious and if you perceive that as me being a diva then Im happy 
for you to leave this page. Thank you to the rest of you who "got it"... I 
had simply had enough of his insults and his trashing me out of his own 
insecurity. Peace.<<
and this:
>> I am also sorry for the fans who were promised a half hour with me and a 
half hour with him, no one from Dragon con stopped him from getting on stage, 
crinkling his water bottle into the microphone while I spoke, interuppting 
me, taking flash photos of me close up while I tried to answer 
questions...they just sat there and let him ruin my talk...I love and 
appreciate the fans and i felt that he disrespected them and me in behaving 
like a boor. I'm very sorry it happened but i stick by my decision to leave 
the stage, I have every right to leave a situation where someone is treating 
me like that. X cc <<
Yeesh!
