There was nothing wrong with his original statement.  But almost everything that he said after that (here, not on JP's forum) was condescending and awful.

Exactly! Thanks heff! Thats exactly what I responded, Thiago had a very "I know I'm right...you guys are not that smart to see it" attitude, AFTER his original analysis he came later at the MP forum and here trying to make everybody to believe him.

Part of that condescension might come from the fact that he reported getting a fair bit of hate mail before he made any posts on any of the forums and saw that a lot of people were already discussing his article negatively...

And still, I'd say that arguing that his analysis is correct (even condescendingly) still doesn't really lump him with MP, considering that MP was negative towards the band itself where this condescension wasn't AFAIR.

Mannnn you know what?, lets leave it like that. You are on Thiagos side on this one and it seems that you don't get our point here. Fine. I dont want to argue about how stupid was all of that. I don't want to get banned for this. Peace.

You're conflating my disagreement with your point with me not understanding it. But whatever.

I'm not really sure this post was necessary or helpful.

[slycordinator]

On the Thiagos issue, I agree that he didn't do things as he should have; I just disagree that he was trying to be malicious with it. Just like the above post shows, people can get carried away even when they mean well...

But I'm leaving it at that.

Nothing wrong with thiagos analysis. It's the way he conducted himself here which is  against forum rules
