is MP intentionally trying to hurt album sales?

[Peter Griffin]

Anyone theorize that MP is intentionally trying to hurt album sales by not mentioning anything about ADTOE in any light but a negative one (hint: no way to spin last dozen or so passive-aggressive, immature digs leveled as agreements with really douchey comments).

Are we all going to look back on this thread and wonder why we were wringing our hands about this elephant in the room, when it was so painfully obvious?  Please lock my thread if this topic is out of bounds for discussion.  I'd say there will almost definitely be some buildup (and breakdown, lulz nugget) of anti-DT comments from the MP camp in the coming day or two.  How many album sales will his comments deter?  And how many more would there be if he was more respectful in his communiques?

Thoughts?

Yeah, it kind of is.  I mean, I get where you are coming from.  And there is lots about the way Mike has conducted himself recently to criticize.  But calling his motives into question in this way really isn't productive.
