Looks like The Band is on a full fledged tour next year! How do you feel about that?

I don’t know what else to tell you. The word hater is a word I’ve seen used a lot. It was used intentionally at the moment but I can tell you it’s a mistake. I’m the only one who used the word so it’s not fair to blame others in this thread for my mistake. It’s mine alone. But I didn’t try shifting blame away. In the same comment I owned up to using the comment I made my complaint. I wasn’t shifting blame. I wasn’t even blaming anyone in my complaint. I cannot stress enough that I do not find the word hater inflammatory or highly offensive. It was not the proper word to use and it was disrespectful but I would never use a word that I felt was highly inflammatory or offensive on purpose. I was called a don fanboy before and I let it go. I’m not saying that means what I said is ok but there wasn’t such a strong reaction to that as there is to this. I can wonder why but I’m not a victim in this situation, so I have limited grounds to complain about how I was treated. I regret using the word towards you, FreyPower, Walshfan, Soda, Dreamer, Chaim, New Kid In Town and others. There are a select few that the word would apply to but that isn’t relevant in this discussion. I was using hater as just a word for someone who has a great dislike for something. I felt it was appropriate. It wasn’t. I own up to and I’ll try harder to use better language

I would think that it would be reasonable that you could express your opinion if you wish to, but finding the appropriate language is going to be very difficult.

This is not a shift in blame as this was in the past but I felt frustrated when I was called a troll by people in the anti 3.0 forum. I felt that was not fair and I felt offended by that. I feel the word troll and hater are on similar footing. Maybe others don’t but I did. It’s in the past now but I just wish in this instance something was said. Name calling is never appropriate be it by me or anyone else and I hope that it can be solved. I will have to grow from this

I agree that inappropriate language has been used by both sides. I'm not sure if the word 'troll' was used directly on me, but I was accused of trolling.
