Your simple answer would work well if Meat were not on this forum. But he is, and he has been hurt, for the umpteenth time, by comments about his voice. Maybe this concerns you less than the feeling of "oppression" you have at not being able to say whatever you like. If so, you are among those I mentioned earlier, who don't care about him as a person; otherwise you would not want to see him hurt. And you would not view efforts to encourage
honest but non-hurtful posts as "bullying."
