I don't think this site needs fixing at all ... and if it does need fixing then the 'solution' - (censorship ?) - may be worse than the 'problem'.

But, just like Meat Loaf, their ego and personal experience tells them how they feel about things, including Meat Loaf. If they are dissapointed in anything Meat did they should be free to express that here. Because this is a fan community. They don't express their dissapointment because they hate Meat Loaf. They express it because that is what a community like this is about. The fact that others might disagree with the person is no reason to say that person hates. He just has a strong different opinion.
This is a fan community, not a fan cult

Well said- I agree.
On the subject of ignoring posts that annoy us, I think I'm pretty good at doing that on my own. But, other boards I have seen have an "ignore" feature, whereby you can set your preferences so that you never see that person's posts at all (Until someone else quotes them, but that's a different story. lol). I don't know if this site has that capability, but it's a suggestion.

I suppose now might be a good time to tell you that I'm a lawyer?
