There is also another thread that I can't think of at the moment which is about Bruce. So we discussing Bruce's music, Bruce's album and Bruce's concert tour here. WHY? I can't answer why the endless discussions of Bruce. This site is supposed to be a MEAT LOAF FAN SITE after all.

Those threads were started in the off topic section of the board. It's my understanding that it's allowed to post such things there. And, I repeat, it was Paul who first brought him up in that other thread.

Nor have I, or most people (to be fair, there have been a couple) here dismissed anyone as worshipping anybody.

And I said as much, initially. I started a thread again, in THIS section of the board, to talk about a show I saw with other fans of Bruce's who happen to be here. This was posted in that thread:

I could interpret that as being provocative. Nowhere in my thread did I mention Meat at all (Seeing as how it was a section of the forum titled "Other Rock and Roll Heroes", I thought that was fine). I initially put it off, but then I thought- fine, you want to talk about it, talk about it. I have no problem with an actual discussion, and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. But, just because I don't agree doesn't make me argumentative.
