There's no need to apologize and I did not feel I was hurt at any point. I just found your statement to be so far of my viewpoint, that I had to bring my own opinion forth rather strongly. And as always, Rahvin's comments gave me enough insight to realize I had probably taken your original post differently from what you intended.
Onyx: there hardly ever is, but I happen to like being cynical. to my ears that sounded like the same old tired sellout arguments I´ve heard (about other bands) a million times before, only sillier. I mean; t-shirts!? oh come on.
of course if that wasn´t what you meant it´s all my bad, in that case I just didn´t get what you were trying to get to.
