People, it's OK to be respectfully critical of things.
Really, it is. No need to get butthurt if someone doesn't agree with your point of view as long as their being respectful about it.

K, Thanks.

Tell that to the Mayer Haters who say things like "John Mayer is the worst thing to happen to music since Man O War"

It's the disrespectful attitudes that start the disrespectful threads with the disrespectful bashing that generates the disrespectful responses.

It's just all so....

You have a great point. However respectful isn't in many vocabularies here.

I will admit that. Also I'll admit that there is no concrete definition of "respectful".

Hell, some people can't even deal with a shorter word... Like "tact".

I think people take things way too personally. If you say the halftime show was good and I say it was bad, I am not saying anything about you: I am only talking about the halftime show.

Never noticed his belly. I was too busy cringing over his horrible singing.

This is exactly why political discussion is not allowed here, and most internet forums I've belong to. No one can be the slightest bit civil anymore it seems.

No. You are all insane. Pete Townshend has rock hard six-pack abs.
