Deb summed it up perfectly for me - I feel increasingly sorry for R, Diane, AndyK etc who have to deal with this place, as Anji said, it's a playground.
On a public forum of over 2000 members you cannot expect everyone to get along and agree with everything the other says, the world would be a boring place if we did, but the attitude of some people towards those who disagree with them stinks. And I include Meat's posts in that too.
We are extremely fortunate that as a fanclub, the guy in question posts here and willingly shares opinions and information, and I for one am extremely grateful that I'm able to be part of a forum where I can receive direct information from someone I admire and respect so much...but that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything he says, and just because he does mean a lot to me I certainly wouldn't dive down the throat of anyone who dares to disagree and "go against" him.
As for "Stalin strikes again" well that's yet another prime example of the childish attitudes on what I thought was an adult-majoriy forum.
I think some people need to take a seriously take a reality check and put some things in perspective before they kick off.
