I don't see a need to vote. Rainer put it very well .. and it's just decent and civil behaviour. I have not seen Meat post angrily in response to anyone who has expressed a view of his work with courtesy. And when it's due he has almost invariably apologised. Most recent events .. I personally consider he had no need to apologise; in fact I was rather surprised he wasn't more angry.
I love his presence here. I have never felt intimidated, but then I don't ever feel the need to hurl criticism at him in a way that provokes a reaction. I don't feel the need to vote to behave reasonably and in consideration of Meat's or anyone else's feelings. Like Andrew I hope this does not turn into a "let's gang up on Meat Loaf" thread as he does not deserve that imo, and we don't always know what else has happened elsewhere and underpins the post we see him responding to; we may but see the tip of an iceberg on this forum.
