Greg
if i send you a load of my most cherished photos of my son when he was newborn - will you promise me that you will ensure they get shredded or burned ?
when it comes to a task of this magnitude it's reassuring to know that QPL and Greg are the only reliable option when - it's important to know that irreplaceable items can be disposed of safely, never to be seen again. - ;-)
maybe John and Greg did it on purpose to fire things up a bit in here. Look at all these posters!!!
I vote for more dirt. Let's have a weekly "Shitty things that Queen did" thread, and don't hold back. We want we want good stuff.

Come on PG be fair. We have both been in here long enough to understand and respect each other’s point of view, and I cannot see anyone in here (myself included) who has commenced any threads re: GB, let alone argumentative threads. (Well not recently anyways).
While it is true that I did RESPOND to Kamenliter’s loss of his 1974 Playbill, my response was not out of spite or vindictiveness, nor was it meant as a warning to others. I was just curious to find out if my situation was an isolated case or not. Even then, I agreed with you - ‘PG is obviously correct’ - ‘...not to pre-judge...’ and to back-off to see what was to unfold later.
I too find this whole Greg Brooks Vs. John S. Stuart thing tedious, and I guess I could be more like royalty and ignore 'press' releases - but I am only human after all, and I do allow others to have their say and right to reply, so I think I deserve the same.
If I was the instigator behind these threads, then perhaps I would be more attuned to your mail, but in all honesty, (and I agree I may be blinkered here), all of these threads are of Greg's own making, and I am sure that if he took a back seat and did not promote these debates, then all of these dialogues would not take place.
Do not get me wrong, I am not trying to absolve myself from any blame, but I do find it a personal failing to ignore threads written about me - without some sort of contribution.
It was as much aimed at all the people who insist on joining in - which includes myself to a certain extent - as at the protaganists.
Also note that there are plenty of argumentative threads about/with GB that are unrelated to you - it's only the current issue that has you at the fore.
So it was even less aimed at you!

In that case, I apologise. I guess it really is a case of over-sensitivity on my part, and while I realise that may be a feeble excuse, I hope you understand and accept my apologies.
I also view that whilst ALL QZ members disagree with each other from time-to-time as being both healthy and constructive, I do not agree with witch-hunts against ANY individuals - especially if it is just for the sake of another witch hunt. And if Greg happens to be the target for one of these cheap attacks, then he too should not be expected to be exposed to such ridicule.
On the other hand, I do not think that debate by itself, (or discussion for discussions sake) should not be discouraged either.
After all, it is a music forum, and why else are we here if not to discuss that?
