Thread Name: how is Nic Jones
Subject: RE: how is Nic Jones
I did sign my name, Greg.

If you can explain how expressing my opinion is trolling, but you expressing yours isn't, I would be most grateful, Jeri.

Several people here have said they find the cover art to this CD is in poor taste. Does that make John Routledge, Nerd, and kevinhowcroft trolls too?

We have now seen two people posting here referred to as trolls, myself and Ed Silberman. While I understand that one could easily presume the original guest was trolling when they started the thread, the discussion about the cover art has nothing to do with that original post.

I think maybe some of you need to step back a bit, and take a few deep breaths. There is a definite difference of opinion here. Some of us find the cover art to be in poor taste and offensive, others don't.

We should be able to voice our opinions without the entire discussion disintegrating into taunting those with whom they disagree trolls, a total shit, or a gutless little shit. Or suggest that the only people with a right to be insulted by the cover art are the undead.

I can appreciate that people are thankful for the music found on the CD, and I certainly don't begrudge anyone their music listening pleasure. But that doesn't mean I, or anyone else should be subjected to this kind of abuse for stating an opinion on what is clearly a pretty controversial piece of cover art.

It has certainly been made clear in this thread that some here truly aren't capable of rational discussion of controversial issues where Nic Jones is concerned. Perhaps that is precisely what Nic intended.
