Almacq, honestly, I think you should spend more time writing and less time posturing. You could learn a lot from the people you so vehemently bash for no real good reason. Robin said most of what I've already wanted to say. Have a good night.

I'm so sick of everyone denying terms and definitions. Why does everyone have to pretend that they don't understand or can't possibly accept the terms "superior," "better," or, as it sometimes comes down to "music." When Almacq said that he is not superior to Rimsky Korsakov, you know exactly what he means, and you probably also know exactly why he says that. So why do you have to challenge his use of the word "superior?" We understand that it's an opinion - he never said it wasn't an opinion. So instead of saying "What does "superior" mean?" why not just say, "I disagree?"
