Here's a quote I got from some guy (replying to jick in another thread) which sums it up in three words.
Couldn't have said it shorter myself without using expletives.
*still wonders why he still bothers after all this time*
The Edge said:Friend Jick,
I have been watching this conversation. You are seeking attention via the lit dynamite stick. I see it well. Terrorists use the same tactics to try to create chaos and mayhem. These fine people engage in peaceful and light hearted conversation. You make some show their teeth.
You can dislike U2's new single or say my playing is rubbish, do you think I really give a fig? I know what work went into the LP and Vertigo in particular. Layers of sounds, three hundred takes, If I borrow any "licks" they would be from the Clash or, at best the Ramones. U2 sprang from punk rock. We are still punk rock. We can play anything we want to play or..not play at all if we dont want to. My problem is this: Dont light the fuse of a bomb and then hand that bomb to my good friends and then walk off...stay around and see the results. Better yet...dont light that fuse, put the bomb in your pocket and walk off. I want you to be happy. If you cant, dont spread that disease called "hate" We've far too much that in this world today!
U2_Guy said:The posts i've read HERE on this thread aren't spreading any hate...
I never read any other Jicks posts b4 tho...
If this guy really is The Edge he said some serious stuff to a fan (in case Jicks really a fan)... Stuff he didn't need to say.
It's my opinion. I'm not offending anybody with my opinion i guess.

Now i'm really doubting this guy is The Edge. And if he is... i'm disappointed.

Posts like these really make me laugh. People who start out defending jick need to read some of this other threads to realize why he gets the reaction he does.
U2_Guy said:I'm not deffending Jicks.
I'm deffending freedom of speech as long as you don't offend anyone.
As i said b4, i didn't see him offending anybody so far.
