[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it appears that for many: no, you absolutely canNOT talk about disliking LMM’s music, feeling like it all sounds the same or is overly shouty, and you certainly cannot discuss being annoyed by his public persona or finding him cringe. Someone who has known him since he was 5* will come and tell you that your natural reaction is incorrect.

Even in a thread that was created for people to discuss disliking LMM, you are not allowed to talk about disliking LMM. We Don’t Talk About [not liking] Bruno-no-no.

*I do not believe this person knows LMM, I think it’s one of his many obsessive fan girls defending him using extensive, and creepy, knowledge of his biography. This is not how people actually talk about childhood friends who they know well. All people are more complex than what gets presented in a public image and anyone who has known LMM a long time would have a more nuanced take than “OMG he’s always been the sweetest, he loves his wife so much, these are the names of his teachers at his performing arts high school, he will never be me tooed.” Even if those things are true! That’s just… not real.[/quote]

OK, it’s pretty sad that your reaction to that was “this person must be lying, nice people don’t actually exist.”

There are a ton of people from around here who knew him either from New York or Wesleyan. Seems like he’s a very extroverted guy, and we all know those people who everybody knows.  And honestly, PP’s account squares with everything else I’ve heard about his personality. I’ve heard multiple people beef about his work, but not about who he is.

You can talk about whatever you want, but you can’t insist that nobody react to it, and it’s silly to act like you’re being censored in some way if people do so.[/quote]

+1 to the reply just above. It's so typically DCUM cynical to blast the PP who says he or she knows Miranda. In this area, it's entirely possible for people to have gone to school with him at some point or to have interacted with his family via the campaigns and charities with which they're involved, etc. etc.

Sadly, it's also typically DCUM cynical for someone to start an entire thread about trashing something. Anything. Fine to like or dislike anything, but why expend so much energy on negativity page after page, when the OP could have instead started a thread about...something he or she actually likes and wants to let people know about? Oh, I know; DCUM loves its "I hate this" vents, it's fine to vent, etc. Go for it, venters. But maybe consider focusing your energies on enjoying what you do like, too?[/quote]
