she might be because i really dislike classical music with very few exceptions.  and i've heard my share.   Actuallly, shakespeare never really had much appeal to me either.  I'd pick up stephen king any day of the week before i'd pick up hamlet.   that doesn't make me ignorant, uncultured or uneducated.  it just makes me a freak,  i suppose ;-)

So, Veronica, would you then have us all believe that it's only a matter of opinion that Mozart is a better artist than Godsmack?  That it's a personal belief and nothing more that Shakespeare is a better author than Tom Clancy?  I mean, this is an interesting question...but I think your stance needs to be validated.  You might be right.

First of all, I didn't personally attack you....I said you're annoying in that you continually try to persuade the fans of the band to believe that because you're not a fan, we should likewise, not be fans of the music.  I find that terribly annoying, hence not an attack, but rather a personal opinion.  Something you keep saying we should all validate of yours, so I respectfully maintain my rights to my own.   I also did not address anything other than exactly what you said....it needs no clarification.  Lastly, as to your last sentence included in this e-mail....why do you seem to think that there is some sort of debate to be won here?  This is music we're discussing here...music!  Music is an art form, music is a relative art form....we're not debating the right or wrong of the death penalty here....it's not like you can say....well the music is bad because...blah blah blah....a! nd convince me you're right and I'm wrong.  There IS no right or wrong about MY OWN preference to music....the simple fact is, I like it...how much you dislike it has absolutely NO effect on my opinion of the music.  You can TRY to analyize the hell out it all you want, but your continual arguments to try to prove you're "right" about it are just that much more annoying.  Yes, annoying....I stand by that assessment.
