Guest, is it that you want to control JM's behavior?

Also, what does it matter what his motives are? Do his motives control anyone else?

I don't see an upping of the ante. I see song info requests that a lot of people are sensitive about, on the side of free expression as much as on the side of concern.

How does that make it impossible for people who are NOT so sensitive about it, to think flexibly and perhaps discern a possible opportunity for consensus?

Aren't some things in life basically just challenges to our problem-solving abilities?

Sure, outrage is possible, but my experience in working with people in all kinds of settings is that when outrage becomes umbrage, one is not thinking most powerfully.
