I can't see why anyone should see going to the bottom of the page as a mobve to second-rate status. It's much easier to follow sites down in the non-music end anyway, because there are far fewer of them.

It always seems to me that it's far better to respond to personal attacks in a relaxed and unexcited way, rather than leaping in all guns blazing. I'm sure that it must be far more annoying to the person doing the attacking when they get that kind of response. All dressed up for a battle, and nowhere to go with it.

The saying is "a soft answer turneth wrath away" - but the truth is it can be deadlier than that, it can turn it back on the person who has lost their rag. Sort of like a heat-seeking missile.
