It does highlight how important it is to win the popular vote as well as the electoral one, and last time I checked, Obama won that too.
That kinda "trumps" Trump's argument if you ask me.
I hope Meat does understand he has no real enemies here, and I can understand how honest opinions can be difficult to swallow when it is you who is being talked about and you (quite obviously) care deeply and quite rightly, about issues such as politics and how fans view your career.
I increasingly get a picture of someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, and whilst I can't say I agree with some of the statements he has made here, or appreciate the tone of these responses, I do respect the fact that he is honest, works hard and clearly cares deeply - you just couldn't get that mad if you didn't.
I think the time has come for a little perspective now. Yes Meat does appear to have a heated temper at times, but also I've seen plenty of genuine kindness in his postings - concern fo Pudding after the New Zealand earthquake last year and wedding-day messages both on-stage and on here for example.
On balance I know he is a good guy, but also a man of emotional extremes. (too many concussions ;O ? ) It is this that probably makes him the performer we love so much in the end, so I ain't going to criticise too much. We are all flawed, we all get hurt sometimes and all have the capacity to hurt back.
The "blame game" just becomes pointless and immature after a while....
I think this has probably gone on long enough now, so I call for a bit of balance from the critics in the same way to the way I called for the similar from one or two of the more sychophantic among us in an earlier post.
I think that's me done on this thread, it is getting repetitive and silly.
If Meat wants to discuss anything I've said which may have unitentionally annoyed him in any way I'll happily discuss it via email. I ain't going to get into a slagging match on the board without offering the opportunity to discuss things confidentially beforehand....
