- My dear friend, while you are entitled to an opinion, you are getting
- somewhat denser than average on this issue. If your aim is to convince
- others that *you* hate Bruckner passionately, well, point taken, *you*
- hate him, the rest of the world knows it, and that's that. You have
- exercised your right to free speech. Finis. But if you are out to
- convince others to start hating Bruckner themselves, you are going to
- have to do better than you have so far; for example, you could tone
- down your inflamed adolescent rhetoric and give us some cogent
- arguments instead.
-
- On a related note, why don't you submit your postings to
- alt.obnoxious.bruckner.bashers? Surely the signal-to-noise ratio in
- this newsgroup would improve, and your rantings would find a
- receptive audience.
