Hey Ian,
Thanks for posting that. It sums up almost all of how I feel about the situation, being a pretty active member of this site before these problems began.
We have to remember that this is the INTERNET. As such, it is easy to overreact and misjudge what is written.
While I do not like how Meat has treated some fans, and how some fans treat Meat, I agree that it needs to stop.
I think part of the problem is that Meat has a high amount of stress on tour. And he likely does not have time to sit and think about the multiple ways he could interpret the dozens of written posts he goes through discussing his life or his apparent "choices"
The result that he reacts with his initial reaction. And then has to do damage control later and apologize.
Some of you do not enjoy this method. I can see why. Especially If I were the one being told I was a stupid idiot by my idol.
I truly hope this thread can be a success and a beginning to some small changes around here. Mainly, what the Mods have been suggesting all along: Read your post and think about how it will effect others before posting it.
Thanks again Ian for bringing it up in a way it can be discussed
