I've noticed a lot of new posters on these threads. I think it's safe to assume that they didn't register here because they are Liberals etc; they registered here because someone posted a link on a Brucie message board which caused them to sign up to defend one of America's greatest singers.
I hope some of them continue to post here.
If 40,000 fans are at a concert in which Brucie says something that offends maybe about a dozen humourless people, it is fair that some of the majority (who enjoyed the event and were not offended) should be given a right to reply.
If the same complainants go to Brucie's next concert in the hope of hearing - and deliberately misinterpreting - a similar quip, it is clear they are trolling. Brucie won't ban them. He will just happily take their money and laugh all the way to the bank.
