It wasn't Boulez who attacked Glass in this thread, so why even bring him up?

Gardner, please, read the thread.
GianLuca felt the need to write the smarmiest, most condescending "parody" of minimalism, a very few post before my Boulez comment.
STOP fixating on my comment and take the time to read what he wrote and how equally unacceptable his comment was. You MIGHT then understand the context for my "parody".
You're being a bit hypocritical here in attacking me for my Boulez joke, yet leaving GianLuca's Glass post uncommented upon.
How about showing the SAME egalitarian outrage over the fact that GianLuca obviously hates minimalism and had no real reason to post in this thread other than to bash minimalists? His comment was in no way constructive (following the general trend of MOST of his comments).
Let me be fair and egalitarian in turn: I actually passionately dislike the music of Philip Glass. I just see no need to be smarmy and sarcastic about it
within this thread.
Maybe if this was an "Oh God! I really hate Philip Glass's music" thread, it might be a different situation.
