Locking a thread? Why? How silly! Asking an open question is not permitted? I remember seeing ukraine flags in his posts. Also vaguely remember smth about a russian band persecuted. the number of angry (?) answers disappointed me. 40 thousand people died, mostly children. i expect my hero to take a stand against/about it. he doesnt have to. maybe what he says will not be entirely to my liking. maybe he will enlarge my understanding. again, he doesnt have to. my expectation was as human being, not as an artist, politician, activist, commentator, analyst etc. i just wanted see that he's unhappy about what's happening, he dosnt habe to apportion blame etc. anyway
no need to close. nothing has happened (yet) also, i would prefer Mark not become like Roger Waters, i prefer to listen to his music
Also, do not get me wrong, i personally have strong feelings about what is happening there, but that is not relevant for this thread.
he was vocal about russia, not this time, i assume the general perception was soooooo anti russia that it was easy for him to make a point (to which i agree) but with the Gaza conflict and the palestine/israel question in general, it has become so....vitriolic, from both sides, that it would be suicide to post for him, as he would NEVER be able to pls anyone.
i assume he has acted as a private person on this topic already.
no excuse of course, just an effort to explain
as long as no one becomes aggressive against another member on here, and as long as we stick to the actual question, why close the thread?
