Tom,
Whilst I totally defend your right to dis the dissers, negative criticism is an essential part of life. If it didn't exist the world would be in an even sorrier state than it is. Ten-year-olds performing brain surgery simply because they claimed they could do it.
I think you get my drift. Okay that's an extreme example but I know of a whole bunch of idiots in middle management at the moment who are extremely incompetent, but very confident and willing to say they can do anything just to get the job, and I'm sure many people here know of them as well as I come across cases on a weekly basis, and I'm retired!

To bring this closer to home I resent being told I shouldn't express negative opinions here when I see the music I love being presented in an imperfect way on national media when I know there are hundreds who could do a better job. Before you shoot me down again I know this might be due to the medium itself and as I've said some of the programmes have been very good. I'm not saying they were all below the best standard possible.

Please read this carefully. You keep misrepresenting my statements.
