I'm torn - of course we need the freedom to express our opinions. But I also feel Terry's pain - there are certain genres/styles that are unpopular here. That's fine too, but sometimes I wish we could be more positive. Maybe if you don't like a style, then just ignore the thread? If people don't feel comfortable posting because it's almost guaranteed to have negative comments, then their freedom is impinged upon.
But then again, that's what makes democracy and freedom great - the fact that we can all here together, despite our differences. I can't criticize anybody - I didn't even click on the links to listen! It's a great bunch of people here, so it bums me out to see people not getting along, but that's part of being family too I guess.
