Last year after being snubbed from an Emmy nomination, Sons of Anarchy series creator went on a rant that almost cost him his job. This year, after being snubbed yet again, the FX series executive producer decided to respond, but in a much more civilized way - well, no so much "civilized" as "taking a step back from cursing too much."

"You gain more fame, respect and admiration the more your efforts are ignored," Sutter said in his guest column on NikkiFinke.com, calling this idea the "Lucci Factor."

He continued: "If you win gracefully, you're famous. If you lose loudly, you're infamous. I, unfortunately, fall into the later category. Not to say that I haven't mellowed, I have. I'm halfway through my second paragraph and I haven't called anyone at AMC a money-whoring, talentless cunt yet. So, that's progress, right? Honestly - and I actually believe this - I think we'd drop viewers if 'Sons of Anarchy' were ever nominated for an Emmy."

The heart of his rant comes in the following excerpt:

While other f**king shows that ran out of story three seasons ago, still get tagged to step up to the show. To explain the feeling, I use an analogy from a part of our lives that probably best describes our industry - high school. Remember when that kid you hated from second period French had that big end of year party? You knew he was a lazy, self-important, pompous douchebag, and yet when you didn't get the invitation, you sobbed into your Members Only jacket and a piece of youthful hope cracked off your soul and fell in dogsh*t.
