The operative part of this is that it is, in fact, part of his past - not
his present.

Oh? Perhaps it's a bit presumptuous to speak on that topic without having the facts for it....something none of us, without being close to the band, have. At any rate, it's still Jim's option to speak of the past if he wishes to.

Not an opposing view to my own... I don't care what his opinion is to be
perfectly frank. But to post a link to an article that is written with the
kind of spin that I previously described goes beyond just stating an
opinion... it goes to the overall credibility of the argument.

The point of his post was merely to bring clarification to Ross, who asked about why Jim brought up the contrasts between Stapp and Jim Morrison.

I'm not asking any such thing.... I'm just asking that he not use
manipulative means in forging his argument. The quotes in that article are
completely out of context and are presented in a manner that is
manipulative. Period.

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.
