I noticed that MP was on DTF yesterday, and then a few hours later posts about this, which was posted only a few hours before here on DTF. Just like how MP mentioned the IaW/ADTOE after it was posted on the forums, and both times posts as if it was something blatantly obvious he noticed himself.
What he's doing is just reposting a negative DT thread from here on his own forum. But linking a negative thread would be too obvious, so he just posts it without source as if it's something he noticed on his own to try and give it weight.
But let's consider that option. If he truly noticed these things himself, wouldn't he post his observations first when he apparently noticed them himself? Am I to believe that he didn't think much of ADTOE, but knew the song well enough to notice an at best vague similarity with a song that he would only have been aware of from going out of his way to listen to an album he only noticed from JP's favourite albums? Because if he knew the album on his own, he would have noticed the similarity at some point in the past several months, instead of posting it just hours after someone here "found" it, which was only shortly after JP mentioned the album. So there's no doubt he saw it from here. And that can only mean he is just reposting a negative thread from here to stir up negativity. Reposting an accusation of DT plagiarism and then accusing them of plagiarism yourself (without acknowledging where he got it, which is ironically plagiarism in itself) is not just "posting openly". It's posting negatively. If it was just posting openly, he'd be open enough to point out that he saw it here, and agreed with it. Then he claims that even though he didn't name the DT song, that the fact we knew what he was referring to was damning evidence. How convenient! Of course people knew what he was referring to, because they read it here beforehand just as he did.
I get that MP is a straight shooter, and I like that honesty to a degree, but if he was truly in a good place and had moved on, he could post about the good and the bad, instead of such strict emphasis on bad, and indiscriminately reposting every little negative thing he can about DT no matter how little credibility it has. Yet aside from negative news, DT is interestingly absent from everything MP posts. FYI - posting "It couldn't possibly be blatant formula plagiarism now could it...??" as a rhetorical question is a straight out accusation, not a mere question being posed innocently.
He does it on purpose knowing full well that bullshit tabloid Blabbermouth will sniff it out and repost it in an attempt to make DT look bad to the general public. It is intentional sabotage, how can it be anything else? If it was just honesty, he would be just as quick to comment on DT's successes, such as the Grammy nomination, or the success of ADTOE on Billboard, but those don't have a negative spin to draw on without being even more truly petty.
I don't blame the guy for being upset about the DT situation at all. It's justified. But his actions in response to it are totally not. Don't they say the best "revenge" is to live well? He's got a ton of new music coming out. Let that speak for itself, instead of continuing to burn bridges to the point where they look like the aftermath of the ADTOE cover.
Everyone knows that I am the first to defend MP when people are unfairly jumping to conclusions, but you can't defend his actions here, especially when he's trying to force another mountain out of a molehill.
