Is it snobbery? Not at all Mike. But I think historically you put down a lot more music than you herald. I think many would agree with this. And sometimes the way you do so comes off as a bit arrogant. Personally, I don't care if we share the same musical likes or dislikes. And I don't care if you or anyone else wishes to share them. I also enjoy discourse. We can agree, we can disagree, we can discuss; all of us. That's fun.
 
Back on the old site I think it was how you presented your viewpoint more than the viewpoint itself that pissed Don (and perhaps others) off enough to toss you out. I think he should have discussed it with you off list and he may have. I don't know.
 
I don't think any of this discussion has tilted toward the falsely stated (highlighted) Don Tillman viewpoint below. MY point in this sentence, right now is that I think you pissed Don off until he couldn't stand you anymore.
 
I believe that the reason this group exists is because the folks here that used to be there did not agree that he should have done that, regardless of how much you rubbed him the wrong way. That's originally why I left the old group and came here.

Is it snobbery to say you like one thing and dislike another?  I'm not sure I've done anything other than say that.  Or is it just that I don't share your point of view?

This is all starting to reek of the Don Tillman view of 'if you don't like XXX then you're not one of us' that I thought this list was created to escape from.

That's an odd phrase coming from you.

This all smacks of musical snobbery to me.
