It’s your blog, and you can write whatever you like on it. Surely it is here for you to give your own views freely (unlike certain forums)?

It all seems perfectly polite criticism to me. If rabid fans cannot accept that there are people out there that do not worship the ground upon which the clay feet of their heroes walk, then they should wake up and see the world for what it is.

I think anonymity is overstated, though. Some of the worst trolls I’ve ever encountered online have been people who had always used their real names.

I live in the States and very much appreciate the insight you provide into a segment of UK prog of which I was totally unfamiliar before discovering your site. (Mostly Autumn et al) Unfortunately, there are wankers everywhere (I hope I used the term correctly) who seem to take great delight in just trying to piss people off with disrespectful and inflammatory posts/comments. More than once, I’ve had the strange experience of posting what I thought was an innocuous comment about a band or song or album, only to be attacked with the most violent rhetoric. Some people feel very brave, sitting at their computers in their pajamas and slippers and hiding behind a cloak of anonymity, writing comments they would never dare speak directly in person to someone. Please keep up the good work. You are appreciated.

Worst that’s ever happened is Fish disagreeing with my interpretation of a lyric from “13th Star”. I still stand by what I originally wrote.

Always been over-zealous fans who have been the problem.

Sod off.

He’s been doing this for the better part of a decade. Get your own site.
