Seems counterproductive for SoA to have MP and DS approaching things like that.
To be fair, it was all Derek and Mike didn't say anything negative in this piece, that I recall. But personally, I also attribute blame to Mike because he has gone out of his way to declare himself SoA's leader who "calls the shots" and is "in control." If that's the case, then as leader he deserves blame for allowing Sherinian to engage in these anti-DT antics.
Well, sure. But a few people in the last few days have been basically saying, "Wait, I can understand being upset at Derek's comments, but that's Derek, not Mike." But Mike was the one initially taking shots at DT and DT fans, and this forum in particular. It's just that he got mostly quiet once Derek started in. If people have an issue with Mike's comments, I don't think it is because of what
Derek has been saying--it is because of things
Mike has said.
