Brian,

Christine asked for opinions about the workings of her son's band. She got those opinions. In among them, some of us suggested that she leave the workings of her son's band up to her son's band. She apparently didn't like that.


Mike,
With respect, that's not completely accurate.
Her question was a specific one. It was about copyright ownership relative to a chords vs. melody co-write between two band members.
A few JPF'ers (KevinEdwardRose and Colin) understood that and provided direct and appropriate reponses.
A few others decided it was a good opportunity to showcase their "Ann Landers" impersonations grin and offer unsolicited advice about interpersonal bandmate relationships and parenting techniques.

I can understand Christine being upset by some of the comments made.

And the tactic of defending harsh comments by stepping behind the old "its a cold cruel world out there" cliche is becoming a bit tiresome. How about we consider not making the harsh comments in the first place.
