Music Banter - View Single Post - Is it ok or is it creepy to talk to younger people about music here?

I think it's important to realise that, just as with music, people have different opinions and react to things differently, including authors. There's no argument against either of these people being respected icons of writing, but that doesn't mean I have to like them, and really, you shouldn't be taking offence just because we don't agree with you. It's all opinion, after all. Nobody said - well, I didn't - that Melville was a ****ty writer, nor would I. I recognise his standing. Doesn't matter though if his writing doesn't appeal to me. I'm not saying nobody else should read it.
