Not that my opinions matter a damn ;-) but I'd disagree with you, Kendall. If you say that you think someone wrote dreadful songs, that's your opinion on their talent (or lack of it), and it entirely comes down to your taste in music. It has no reflection on the character of the person concerned. That's a perfectly OK comment, although it may not be that relevant or informative.

Saying you're glad someone's dead, that implies that you genuinely do hate them for *who they are*. That's a personal attack.

As an example, I think Shane McGowan, Morrissey and Noel Gallagher are piss-poor singers. But I don't want them dead and buried bcos of it (if nothing else, they've all come up with some damn fine songs!).

Grab.
