ha ha ha.

I don't know how to convey that I am NOT attacking you back for you 
telling me that I have no music knowledge and that I should keep my 
mouth shut, and that it is my shame.

I concede that I have no formal education in the field of music, and 
that is, if not shame, is the biggest disappoint for me. Though I have 
been listening to music for about half a century, but of course, eating 
omelette for half a century does not make us capable of laying eggs.

I have praised our man endlessly for the songs I have liked - and those 
are dozens. I didn't have music knowledge even then when I praise. He 
has been my only fav living personality (not just in the field of music, 
but among all living beings in all areas) for 18 years. I have met him.

And yeah, I have attacked his songs that I didn't like - there are just 
very few like that. So saying that some individual song lacks in one 
individual aspect should not distort "your" sense of proportion.

We are the biggest authentic group of fans of our man. I think we should 
permit people to express their view even if someone just says bad things 
occasionally.

By telling that "Rahman is musicians' composer... �not an average 
listener's composer....." we are alienating our man from billions of 
humans who are "average listeners". I think that is more of a disservice 
done to our man than criticizing him citing real examples.

By telling people not to "open their mouth", you have thrown the 
constitution of your country to a gutter, whether you are an Indian or 
not, I think the constitution of almost every country must be empowering 
individuals with freedom of speech, and your statement snatches that 
freedom from people. I did not violate any law or caused any riots by 
saying thusly.

It boils down to the difference between a fan and a fanatic.
