Richard We are in the music business. If you cannot take criticism and insults then you are in the wrong business. However I have stated before and will state again my opinions are just my opinions and should not be taken personal. We are all adults and anybody who cannot take a bit of banter or indeed a put down should grow up. I have had my fair share of insults and disagreements both on these boards and out in the big bad world of showbusiness. I can stick up for myself and my beliefs as can everybody else. I prefer folk to speak their mind and be honest it beats the hell out of agreeing with or praising something that they do not really believe in. That goes for some critiques as well. I wonder when reading some critques if I actually was listening to the same song. "Great song I really liked it" when the song was poorly sung, poorly recorded had a woeful tune and appalling lyrics.
I said earlier that I respect peoples right to follow any belief or religion thay want. I also believe that we also have the right to criticise those beliefs. I see bible thumpers preaching all the time and telling me I am damned for not believing. I am just returning fire.
