Your disdain for Paradigm is well known and is becoming sort of a joke around here. It's your unwillingness to accept the fact that others (quite a few, in fact) like them fine. Are you saying they are wrong or, more importantly, that their opinoins are less important than yours? Are you saying they are not happy? ...or that they shouldn't be happy?

It's this "ivory tower" attitude of yours, where differing opinons are not just different, but wrong that makes your occasionally good posts seem to be in the minority. Continue bashing what many like and soon, very soon, none of your opinions will be looked upon seriously.

FWIW, you are fond of quoting Brit journals that echo your beliefs. Ever stop to think that other regions of the world have different tastes? I'm not overly fond of haggis, but it's got quite a following in Scotland, which is quite basically a part of the British Empire. Does that mean we should like it also?
