If a forum member goes to a show and wishes to share their opinion, that's one thing, but to go to the trouble of posting negative Tweets from people who've never even visited this site (in the very first post on the thread) is another.
It is quite literally looking for trouble.

It will achieve nothing but upset Meat after the 1st show of the tour, and create the same arguments we've had on the forum god knows how many times before.

As has been mentioned on the thread, the negative Tweets are in the minority so why are they given as much coverage on the forum as the vast majority?
To put it this way, if 1% of the Tweets are negative, would it not be more in accurate context to post 99 positive Tweets for every negative?

If the people who went to the show want to share their opinion with us they'll come to the forum.

I've been shot down in the past for asking people to give Meat a little benefit of the doubt and to keep the atmosphere positive (remember the debate about poor quality phone camera vids?), so this time it's easier to say no Tweets rather than ask that the majority of positive Tweets are represented in context to the negative.
So we live in fear of 1% now? What if 99% of tweets were negative, should we stick our fingers in our ears and chant for Twitter to go away?
