The point that was missed here in the first place is accountability. Just as much as Dan Lilker has the right to voice his opinion in his interview. People have just as much right to respond to his statements. If Dan didn't want to talk about sensitive political issues, he shouldn't have. It was his choice to voice his opinion, even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with his so called area of expertise - music. It's interesting that it could be concieved that Mr Lilker is classy in any way, at least by the way he comes across in his interview. He comes across as an extremely, bitter, confused person full of negativity and contempt for others, defensiveness, and insecurity. If you don't agree and you have not read the interview, then read it first and note the negativity that Lilker exudes. As far as saying that I was bashing anyone. Mr. Lilker started the personal attack and name calling, cleverly disquised as trying to defend himself. I posted a link to his interview and just repeated his sentiments from his interview. I simply brought forth the intentions of what Mr. Lilker had already stated in his Anus.com interview. Let this serve as the proof that Mr. Lilker is responsible and accountable for what he says. On this board I have read about freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I will not do a disservice to the freedom of expression and choice by jumping on the Lilker bandwagon. I beg to differ that Mr. Lilker is classy. A classy person wouldn't initiate and engage in a personal attack as Mr. Lilker has done here. Visits the Anthrax message board and demonstrates his bitterness, yes I agree.
