I don't recall ever writing that he should stop posting or change his approach. I am very familiar with having insults thrown at my posts, artwork, music I listen to etc. I'm still here as you can see.

i worship no rockstars and don't give two fucks about what they do but i personally want to drink from the dionysian cup on a regular basis-- their music is a bridge or a door or a pharmaceutical of sorts and there lies its value for me-- not in musician biographies.
