That last letter about people bashing Creed.  In a lot of ways I was just trying to be a smartass.  But I was also saying that people who BASH others are...well...stupid.  I wasn't trying to offend anyone or put anyone down for not liking Creed.  That's totally up to the individual.  If it offended you I'm sorry.  If I actually took offense to half the things people say about Creed or any other group I liked I'd probably have an ulcer by now.  But let's look at the operitive word...BASH...I don't like it anymore then you do.  But we all know it's going to happen so the best way to deal with it is to just try and see past the negativity and see the positive.  We all know that critics and other more popular groups alike don't like or never have liked our boys and we can't change their minds anymore then they can change ours about not liking them.  Hell, my own daughter doesn't like them but I can't change her mind about it.  So just try and see it as a smartass' way of saying things and just have fun.  If I let all this negativity get to me I'd have pure white hair, ulcers, and probably a bad heart.  Oh wait...if it wasn't for the bottle I'd already have pure white hair...oh man, I'd better watch myself.
