I don't think holly ever meant any harm, but it was definitely the wrong thread to post the comment in, and wasn't worded in the best way. Maybe mike overreacted, but probably not. If you look at his first responses on their own, they aren't that bad. It's the argument that follows that now make them seem harsh.
And thanks for reminding me, I have to get Rollins tickets for April. I'll try not to idolize too much.

I wholeheartedly support board members right to express negative opinions about both the band, the songs and the quality of band members solo work. But I agree that this thread might not be the best place to have the discussion. I have always (well, at least since the Stay Positive mastering debate, which resulted in some really long messages in my inbox about what's right and what's not) felt that the tolerance for non-positive opnions is quite absent in here. But there is a time and a place for everything. This thread is obviously dedicated to thank Franz for his work. Maybe we can discuss the quality of his album someplace else?

It's harder to guage someone's attitude through text. Whereas in person if two people are bickering, they might be A)playfully chuckling and smiling all along......B)or they could be screaming at each other resisting the urge to throw a punch. So it would help if when we argue on here we imagine it's like situation A

Hold Steady shows will never be quite the same without you, Franz. Thanks for the memories.

I really feel like sequestering and berating opinions is quite communist. Is it anyone's right to make the choice where or when something is posted? This may be what is wholly lame about the scene in some ways. Spoon fed kids that can't let a negative remark just go. I get your passion but sometimes I think you have to let it lie. I think the band and Franz can defend their honor quite nicely. They are truly big boys.
