@Gayathri - Bravo! I was also hurt when I read something along the lines of : - you are forcing yourself to make sure you like the songs and write good about them. - you are praising/liking the music just because it got ARR name in credits - just admit it that you actually dont like the songs
This is forcing others to feel the same as you do.. which is inappropriate & should be unacceptable. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Gayathri" <gayathri_c...@...> wrote: > > Quote:- "I'm just writing this because recently (since 2007, when I > joined), with every new releases someone will post a negative review and > the rest start bashing that person.
