It's hard to defend MP when he continues to do the wrong thing with DT.  He airs everything publicly.   

That will never stop me from following him and most of his projects.

I definitely am a fan of Portnoy. I wish i could meet him someday.

The poster that said Adrenaline Mob was a failure on every level is wrong. 'Omerta' was a great album.

I think this whole thing is just the first step to him getting back in the band. We know it's going to happen. Maybe later than we think, but think.....even Dokken is getting back together for some Japan shows. Who thought that would ever happen? Someday Geoff Tate will be back in Queensryche. The only one that i don't see happening, as VH is my fave band is Mike Anthony getting back in, unless Sammy returns....
That's pretty much how I see it. DT had a relatively clean breakup compared to bands like GNR or Van Halen. I don't think a DT reunion is that far out of the realms of possibility, I just think MP is asking for it too early. Give it time and maybe it'll happen.
Breakup? Reunion?
The band never split! They just replaced the drummer, after all. And didn't even take too long to come back with a new album. In the golden years, Yes changed drummer pretty frequently and no one ever talked about "Yes breakup". Ok Portnoy was a founder member, the one who gave the name to the band (his beloved father's advice), has been there for decades, but that doesn't qualify for "breakup".
Splitting hairs.

I never said it was bad advice. I AM a fan of the man, and I'm also a fan of Dream Theater. My comments have in now way suggested that I 'can't handle reading a little constructive criticism'.

However, if the discussion here is geared towards purely criticizing MP's actions and comments; then it's not much of a discussion, is it? Just because I'm defending what he (MP) says, y'all seem to be pushing me towards MP's forum. If you're referring to my infamous 'hater' comment, I followed up by saying that it might have been too strong a word.

This thread is about the invitation MP did to the other guys to join him on the boat to play the suite; and lots of us agree that the way he has addressed the situation (and rejection of the invitation) hasn't been the best; but that doesn't make the conversation non-constructive. bosk1 has already warned the bashing folks because they do not contribute anything valuable to this thread, so there's that. The rest of us are just expressing our emotions and, in my case, disappointment regarding MP's passive-aggressive stance with the DT guys in this particular situation. When a 'post your favorite things about MP!' thread comes around, I'm sure you'll see a lot of positive vibes in which, I reckon, you'll feel more comfortable with.

Also, if by 'y'all' you mean Kev and me, we're not pushing you away lol. It's just that your posting history and overall content of your posts revolves around how much you love MP and how, apparently, you can't handle the man being criticised like what's happening in this thread; so you might actually feel more at home in MP.com in these subject matters. It's not a better or a worse place, it's just different in the way the 95% of the MP-related posts over there are people agreeing with MP with everything he does/says.

Studies have shown that being an addict stunts your emotional growth and maturity. I know 40-yr-old recovered druggies that have the persona of a 13 year old. Probably one other contributing factor to the way he handles things.

I don't really have anything constructive to add; Kev said it best a few pages ago I think.

The post a few pages back that said that MM has the personality of a head of lettuce reminded me of the "Salad Boy" challenge from Impractical Jokers... MM's the one with the pickle arms right? (BTW, the two times I've met MM he was a joy to be around and very engaging)

Yup, because "real" fans know that you can't provide a source to the relevant post so people know that it was an actual quote and not more so-called MP bashing.  ::)

Besides, it's not like there's anything more to discuss here as evidenced by the last page, so why not lock it and move on?

Well, her apology included that detail. The fact that she was a little girl looking for attention, it's totally plausible.
