It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

That Ballads Post

It's really awful when everything one posts is received with suspision and hostility. Others, posting much the same content, are not subject to the same treatment.

Anyway, nearly everyone misunderstood my ballads post.

I did NOT say ballads are hateful, bad, unworthy, or any of the things that people THINK I said about them.

What I DID say is I - and only I - hate ballads. See the difference?

Not "ballads are bad'. NOT that.

But, I, personally; me, myself, I, only me, I don't like ballads.

Since nearly everyone here thinks that it's ok to like or dislike any music one wishes to like or dislike without being subject to disapproval, I don't see why the same courtesy isn't extended to me.

A few months ago, a bunch of guys posted that they hate Mahler and Bruckner. Many went on to ridicule both composers. I don't recall anyone taking them to task for their opinions.

Is it OK to hate Mahler and Bruckner, but forbidden to hate ballads?
