Now whether David believes Morrissey is right or wrong, Morrissey OBVIOUSLY feels VERY upset by the criticism on Morrissey-solo. I don't think he minds at all about the fans criticizing his setlists or even the criticism of the band, it is the LIES that get posted that he understandably dislikes. He has stated that the LIES posted about his sex life upset him, and also the LIES about him not paying his band. If you haven't got the time to censor this site, then you shouldn't be running it. I would LOVE to run a Morrissey fan site, but don't have the time to dedicate to it. What you have done over the past 15 years is very commendable, but YOU HAVE UPSET MORRISSEY with the lies you allow.
As an outsider looking in, I would advise you David, that you are WRONG, just like the NME were wrong, and you SHOULD apologize to Morrissey. If you decide to carry on digging in your heels, then no doubt Morrissey will keep you banned from his concerts, which is a real shame. It also looks as though Peter Finan is too scared to attend a concert, for fear of being treated in the same way as David. Peter has stated that he won't even be attending the two concerts in his own country, which is a real shame for him, but I can understand why he feels that way. You will no doubt bark back at me that I am wrong and you are right, but if you just took a minute to look at this situation subjectively, then perhaps you would see why many of us, including Morrissey, believe you are wrong.
