================================================ Subject: Re: Jim Morrison .. Scott Stapp From: "Joe Earles" To: Date: Sun 20 Jan 2002 19:01:47 -0500 ================================================ Censorship of any kind is frowned upon, unless it goes against the very rules set up by the list admin and Windup Entertainment. Therefore, there is no reason for Jim (or anyone on the list) to post only articles that put the band in only a favorable light. We all love the band, that's why we post on this list, but we're all also aware that they are merely human, and not well liked in the press....so often you'll find unfavorable articles posted to the list. As I said....no censorship here. If the "article" had been presented in a manner that even hinted that any amount of fact-finding had been engaged in, had offered complete quotes and the context of the comments being submitted, no problem. Once again (and I guess I'm just not making this clear enough - I don't know how else to do that, unfortunately), it's not anyone's opinion that I take issue with, or the fact that this article paints Creed in a bad light or the fact that this Jim person appears to think that Creed's influences are Satanic. It's the manipulative way that the article was written and presented and the way it applied meaning to a bunch of quotes out of context that I take issue with. If Jim wants to believe that Scott Stapp's influences are Satanic, fine. Let him believe that... just don't offer me proofs for your argument that insult my intelligence by obviously swinging the argument in a certain direction by way of manipulation. I hope that makes my point clear. If not, I give up trying to explain it. Next topic.....
