HEAR HEAR. Exactly the point I was trying to make above, though some folks seem to have missed the sarcasm.

I loathe having some stranger pronounce judgment on my character or motives in the light of their own prejudices, just because I don't like some artist they like. It can't possibly be that said artist has limits to the appeal of their music, oh no, we all have to be at fault for bad attitudes.

This happens way too much on this site, too many sacred cows that no one dares criticise, however reasonably and moderately. I know I'm not the only person who feels this way. But too often it's more than your hide's worth to say so.
