I'm not all that fond of the minimal stuff on that clip(and to be honest i'm not a huge fan of Speedy J's techno stuff either).......here's a question though....why is it bad that he's making minimal, but no one even mentions the fact that he made trance for years? To me that suggests that people here are more inclined towards trance than techno.

I don't think there's genuine hatred of 'mnml' here, or at least not as much as people are making out. It's a byproduct of having a close-knit scene that there ends up a hate figure, and in this particular time and place that hate is currently channeled towards 2 guys who happen to have had more than one interest in the past 20 years.
