ChrissieO,
I would hope that even those that haven't met you, don't know you, and don't agree with you still welcome your input and indeed make you feel welcome on this forum.
I think most people on here are genuine and have a love of the music. I may be one of those people you think is up his own arse I may not be but I wouldn't presume to tell you what you are thinking and if I may say I think your extrapolation of Stevie's views from his few comments on this post are a little wide of the mark in my view.
I think the most interesting part of your post was your explanation of the QOF signiture. Not that it was needed as I for one saw it for what it was, but that you thought you needed to explain or justify it. Almost as if you felt that having 'queen of fools' in your signiture defined you as a person.
We all tend to disagree on particular sounds even when we broadly agree on the particular sub genre thats the scene we are on, hasn't it always been that way?
I hope that you do not take this reply as a personal dig at you it isn't. But then I don't think Stevie's post was either.
Having QOF in your signiture doesn't define you nor does Stevie's few ill chosen words define him, well not to me at least
Keep contributing your views are always passionate and thats good
