>stay out the post

...YOU could stay out of the post.

But that being said, I feel you. I actually grow tired of myself when I engage in these discussions. Usually, I start off wanting to have a real discussion about music: like, I think D'Angelo is not funky. Why does his funk fail? What elements are not coming together?

Unfortunately, that kind of discussion seems not to be allowed. The D fans will not tolerate even the slightest criticism. And then they start with the personal attacks, the jeering, the false, reductive arguments ("If you don't love what D is doing, then that means that you hate real musicians playing live" etc), the trying to shout you out of the post...

And me, being the mature adult I am... well, I join right in.

I would really love to talk about the MUSIC, though. (And the mythos too, of course... that's as big a part of it as anything)
