I agree that Morrissey needs to be challenged.
He is fascinating. Like a car-crash. This site is rubber-necking, but that goes with being a fame whore and he's the worst of those.
Sadly, I expect him to implode catastrophically soon as he realises there is no way he can carry on peddling his silly conspiracy theories about his failure to achieve superstardom. The reality is most people just think he's an amusing prat who happens to have a nice voice.
For whatever reason that torments him, yet he's assiduously cultivated his crank image.
Nobody on this site ever provides a rational defence of his excesses, merely claiming that by posting to such a site one is signing up to some archaic notion of 'fandom' and that this precludes stinging criticism of his behaviour.

Even if you, Benny and Barleycunt DO believe that Morrissey "needs to be challenged", why not do it on a bigger, more prominent platform, rather than a single inconsequential website? It's not as though the music industry or the wider media takes notice of this site or that you've been able to influence the world's opinion of Morrissey by posting here. You, Benny and Barleycunt are in a very tiny minority (which you acknowledge because everyone who doesn't agree with you three are "sycophants" and "blind followers" and "The Cult" etc). You clearly think you have a flair for prose or you wouldn't continually post such epic verbiage on here. Entertainment sections in newspapers and magazines are crying out for original, witty, insightful freelance pieces, ditto the wide variety of music magazines. If you have a serious conviction about this, it's odd that you should limit yourself to one irrelevant website where no one takes you seriously. Personally, I think this "Morrissey needs to be challenged" crap is just a grandiose way of trying to justify the endless amount of time you spend here saying essentially the same thing to no effect whatsoever. But hey, if that's what floats your boat...
"Fascinating like a car crash" - yeah, but no one sticks around gawping morbidly for as long as you do, day after day, year in, year out. Sorry, but that's an incredibly weak and implausible reason for the amount of time you spend here.
"Silly conspiracy theories to achieve superstardom" - and if that's not itself the silliest conspiracy theory of all, then heaven knows what is.
"Most people think he's an amusing prat who happens to have a nice voice" - but that doesn't really explain the worldwide devotion you're at pains to insist doesn't really exist. The Cult of The List amounts to about thirty people at the very most. This isn't anywhere near enough to sustain the amount of tickets he's able to sell all over the world - and does so in spite of his well known history of illness/cancellations, nor does it explain the fervour shared by thousands at these gigs. There has to be something more than an "amusing prat". In any case, we know you're not talking for "most people" - you're just expressing your own prejudices and inventing the generalised and unconvincing anecdotal evidence of "most people".
"Assiduously invented crank image" - slighty ironic coming from you of all people, Bummie.
"Rational defence of his excesses" - maybe because no one here ever makes a rational case that he has any "excesses"? Certainly nothing you, Benny or Barleycunt write is ever rational, it's just a tsunami of unfocused anger, unintentionally hilarious syllogisms and bizarre conspiracy theories - you know, like the conspiracy theories you accuse him of indulging in. And that's the biggest irony of all - you demonstrate time and time again that you lack the self-awareness to see that you yourself (and Benny and Barleycunt) are just as guilty of many of the same things for which you tediously berate Morrissey.
Come on Bummie, put your money where your mouth is. Dont be all talk and no f***. Set out your grievances and insights in a proper essay and submit it to a major newspaper or magazine. You say he needs to be challenged, well, by your own admission that doesn't work here because of The Cult and the sycophants who simply refuse to acknowledge or accept your startling revelations. But if that's your conviction, then why don't you do something serious about it instead of whining on an interenet forum every day (then pretend to leave, then come back, whine some more, etc etc) ?
