Even resorting to "daring" him to come back stage and say it to his face! Can you imagine Springsteen or Mick Jagger ever resorting to this kind of thing? Very quick way to lose fans and respect.

I had a run in with Meat in the past over something I wrote on another forum and it was not nice but I've gotten over that and Meat too and I will say this...
Never seen Springsteen personally use social media or respond on a fan forum before though. Don't know about Mick.
Sure you look at the bad side of his response there and it may be bad indeed (even though it seems resolved) but look at it this way: Meat has given us a lot of insight into what is going on etc and also been very humble and thanking people and his fans publicly and directly on this forum many times.
If people continually look at the bad sides of where Meat is at now (his performances, his music, his responses on the net) I absolutely don't see a point to being "a fan" any longer and indeed maybe it is best they take a hike. To me that is not disrespectful, it's just being realistic. Just move on. It's best for everyone surely. If people hang around (Which I do think some are doing whilst constantly thinking and responding in a negative way regardless of what is coming up next and how good it is) to me they are simply trolling, and that is indeed hurtful and annoying, so I can understand some of Meat's reaction there. Some of the Dutch forum I feel has turned into trolling now and it is not right when it carries Meat's name in my opinion.
