How funny! Donny, I would think you would be the one here who would understand why some would just prefer to bite their lips and not say what they REALLY feel.
What possible good would come of negative comments about performance style,personality, musicianship, equipment, MP-3's, kinds of jobs played, kinds of music, careers...whatever?
Believe me, if everyone here said what they really feel, the result would not be pretty.
Some would get pretty bent out of shape, and that would do no good on any level.
Like the song says, sometimes, "you say it best when you say nothing at all...".
Almost always, the really vocal critics end up looking like the jerks.
