AS far as going to a future live show, that will depend on his own behavior. As much as I love the music, I wouldn't feel right about supporting an artist who has in fact PERSONALLY insulted me! Don't forget there was an entire thread started by him specifically to respond to ME. Yes it was moved over to this thread. That makes this all very personal to me. I was singled out and PERSONALLY insulted by a very grown man who I had always admired and would expect better & more mature behavior from. I am not sure whether to laugh at the absurdity of it or cry because it hurt so much.
I did say some harsh things so I am a bit to blame. I was just expressing my feelings and even though I may have been harsh, I stand by the sentiment & truthfulness of what I said. As an artist who, by the very nature of his career, chose to live his life in the public eye, Meat should be better able & prepared to handle criticism from the public. Yes, he is human. Still to attack his fans and make it personal is unacceptable to me. Yes, it hurts
Obviously something I said, affected him on a deep level. If there was absolutely no truth to anything I said, I would think he would just ignore it and laugh it off. Usually people react like that when there is enough truth in what is being said to strike at the heart of the matter and touch a nerve.
Again, harsh or not, I do have "the balls" to stand by what I have said. You - both Meat and the rest of the fans - can agree or disagree with me. That is just how I feel.

For years we have walked on eggshells on this board about what is acceptable to say lest Meat read it. Never mind that most of the time it was positive, almost to a sickening degree by some, Meat chooses to read the stuff he feels is negative and react badly to it. I am very sad because his last interaction with the board a month or so ago was quite pleasant and he shared a lot of good information, now he tells 97% where to go. Almost as has been said like it was posted by 2 different people though I am sure Meat did his own postings. I don't know if I'm in the 97% or the 3% but I'm going to call them like I see them. Telling your loyal fans who almost worship you to go to hell is probably a bad idea IMO. At least I feel like the eggshells are gone, hopefully for good.
