I forget what magazine it was in, but the interviewer asked if there was anything he disliked about the south. Stipe talked about an "unwanted element."

^not sarcastic
i'll add that evollove doesn't have a past history of being a flamer...
they are actually pretty cool, but simply misremembered something they weren't reading all that closely...i was probably a bit harsh before...

but go ahead and invent your own reality, pbradley, and continue to ignore the obvious...
And it's not that I'm "taking everything too seriously"...
it's merely that I'm less of a fool, that's all.
Essentially, this board is worse than just about ever. For instance, we have members who are plainly trolls making threads like "sonic youth sucks." And they not only don't get banned, but instead are rewarded by bored half-wits with ample reviews and replies.
Just hope I never completely buy into a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" agenda of my own.
But, hey, let's get on with the accolades for R.E.M.'s early work and forget the sandbox, shall we?
