Thank you Simon for your thoughtful post. It takes a lot to admit one has been the victim of bullying .. and I sense your understanding is due to your own experience. You are in august company for Meat was bullied at school, but not being a "skinny" kid he learned to use his size to stare down his attackers:)

That is, tolerance of any OPINION about Meat or his music. On no account however should that mean that anyone should have to put up with horrible abuse.

And that is the point. I reserve the right to disagree with people but I do it without hurling abuse. Freedom of speech should never encompass that. And like Meat I see no reason for anyone to tolerate ..."putdowns, Lies and just plain being angry over what I don't know .." He said he didn't need our money .. what he needed was our loyalty .. and he has that from me :)
