When I go to to baseball games at my beloved Comiskey Park, I see some fans
wear shirts that say "Cubs Suck." That may be true (and actually is close to
truth) BUT I am a White Sox fan and I define myself as a Sox fan, by what I
like, not by what I don't.
We are here as Joni fans. Why trash on someone else? Why define ourselves
by who we don't like?
There are over 800 members here, and some of them are bound to be Celine Dion
fans. Why insult them? I suspect that is why some people lurk, because they
see their own personal likes and dislikes treated condenscendingly.
I am not a Celine Dion fan but I cannot fathom why I or anyone would waste
time to insult her and demean her and her fans. That's like wearing a Cubs
Suck t-short. That is defining yourself, and spending a lot of time defining
yourself, by what you claim you don't like.
I am here becasue I am for Joni.
Now I've debated Eminem and a thousand other things in here but there we have
issues at hand there that are not about insulting someone's personal tastes.
To just knock Celine Dion or anyone else, well, I am just not for it. I
think we insult her fans, hurt people who are members here, and what issue is
at hand, why define ourselves by attacking Celine Dion or anyone else?
