It would be better for ML as at least he can retain editorial control where here, because he can only 'influence' it, this site only appears enrage him (... and all too frequently ...)

Indeed. I really thought yesterday it might be best if his account was banned, maybe temporarily. I know that sounds crazy but I really feel some of the moderators let this place down at times. They make it seem like common visitors are idiots and should play by the rules precisely or shut the ~~~~ up or just remove entire threads which had 99% great respectful posts. And then the artist himself can insult anyone all he likes. It gives a dangerous sense of censorship to the point people cannot feel comfortable speaking freely.
Calling people "evil" is NOT cool!
I do sense some regret in some of Meat's later posts here (thank goodness!) and I am sure he doesn't really hate people on here but it still sad a few lifelong fans have now left.
Yesterday should have been a day of celebration instead it was one of the most disappointing days to be a fan since I followed Meat since 1993. And with follow, I mean follow him musically. I do not mind who he votes for AT ALL or what he gets up to in his private life (as long as he follows some basic morals and principles which I think he always has anyway).
Despite all this I still respect the man tremendously for his hard work and craftsmanship and will always be eternally grateful for all the inspiration in music and life.
