Read this thread:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrahmanfans/message/139995

So, I don't buy 'The truth is nobody is scared of posting.'

/*
Also whats wrong in being critic to a post, why cant somebody consider that as 
a discussion. If criticizing AR's music is to be considered as opinion then 
such post is also same like AR's music. So, the writer must himself welcome 
such critic to his post as well. 
*/

Do you know more than AR?,Who are you to say its mediocre?
These comments don't look like discussion and is just asking other poster to 
shut up. And getting sensitive about every negative comment and reacting causes 
problems only to ourselves.

My entire summary on this thread is ,like AR, we should also be less sensitive 
about negative criticism and just move on.

  Well... Where did this image come from?? His current image is 
only because of the terrific pathbreaking works of his past. It did not 
suddenly come up, one fine morning. It is not justice to say that 
Rahman's image made ppl like his works.

Infact, the present situation is similar to that. Due to Rahman's 
pathbreaking accomplishments of the past, today, there are people 
to praise any mediocre or below average work from him (Eg: Ghajini), 
and bash other sincere Rahmaniacs who dislike the same.

 
Anyway, what ARR today, is ONLY because of his hardwork and 
pathbreaking accomplishments.
