Subject: RE: What should Susan Boyle sing next?
"You say words are being put in your mouth, I say not"

Here are some words that you have put in my mouth.

"your suggestion that those who respond to your negative observations about Boyle are really only misreading your positive ones."

Please show where I made such suggestions.

"Why do you need to turn pleasure at this development into a character flaw of anyone who professes to enjoy her voice and understand her story?"

Please show where have I commented on anyones character?

"If you see the performers and viewers as equally corrupt or their reactions suspect, then perhaps very little makes you happy in this day and age."

Where did I say that the performers were corrupt?

How does this reflect on my happiness?

"Lox and Greg, you're being very cynical"

Why? because we don't think she's amazing like you do?

"Those who don't like her or wish her well need to move along."

Why? You said that "this thread was set up for people to speculate on Susan's future success".

So basically what you're saying is that if I disagree with you then I am not welcome.

You are also saying that if I disagree with you it can only be because I think there is something wrong with the character of people I disagree with, I am just very cynical or I am lacking in happiness.

The only person talking about character here is you and you have referred to mine in the quotes above. I have not said anything about your character.

Let me ask you a question:

Why have you needed to turn disagreement with this development into a character flaw of anyone who professes not to be particularly impressed by her voice or to know anything her story?

"with those big gaps you leave for reading in between the lines, you're not kidding anyone."

My first post was one line long. It said that I thought she was overrated.

Your response to it was to call me cynical, then to make comments (as shown above) about my character, then to call me a troll.

At first I humoured you and explained my thinking.

Now that I see you are just trying to drive away a dissenting voice (as quoted above) I will not bother to explain anything else to you.

You're behaving like a spoilt teenager who isn't getting her way.

Grow up!
