has its own issues with overly, err "passionate" members who all seem to rant about the same issues:
"Do any sane people like classical music?
The more convinced I'm becoming that a large proportion of the audience for classical music are barking mad - at least to judge from this discussion board. And so I was wondering whether there is a link between the consumers of classical music and insanity.
Consider the evidence: we have just had Brodsky (under one of his many noms de plume) suggesting that allowing people to clap between movements of a symphony is a sign of the impending self-destruction of western civilisation, dominated as it is with 'drugged-up criminal chavs', egged on by the mindless liberals at the BBC.
He has posted many other statements in a similar vein and, although we can acknowledge an element of self-parody here, it seems not unreasonable to suggest he actually believes in the general tenor of what he says - that anyone who fails to recognise the greatness of Beethoven and Mozart is little more than sub-human detritus who deserves nothing but contempt. Indeed, his main purpose in posting at all appears to be to urge others to show the same contempt as he does to anyone with the temerity not to share his own taste in music."
