it wouldnt bother me in the slightest if you told me my music was terrible on here or to my face, i dont have enough designs on myself to let something like that from someone i dont know bother me. I would prefer if the comment was then backed up with reasons why, which i might add people have done about Valentino's music hence there being no problem, because then i could at least get a good viewpoint on what others think of the actual content.

But no, it really wouldnt bother me, people have said worse in the past, sticks and stones and all that

re the getting involved, jesus, if people want to get involved in a thread regardless of their opinion then there really isnt a problem with that, its an open, public forum, the rules only says no negativity, it doesnt say "if you dont like this artist at present then dont get involved" does it? and lets me honest when the rule of no negativity gets flounced in here everyday anyway, and sometimes by the mods, then again, whats the problem?

too many people being too picky
