May I say that, in defence of Kevin, I felt that what he wrote was in fact a
very astute analysis of the situation. It was intelligently and honestly
written. "Venomous" would be a malicious and deliberate attack at U2. I
think it was clear in his article that he was bemoaning the change that U2
has undergone. I think, in fact, that your response is more than venoumous.
If you disagree with him, I would suggest you reply to his points a bit more
logically rather than blindly disagreeing with him and turning U2 fandom
into some kind of cultish fundamentalism that refuses to be challenged by
differing perspectives.

Reagrds,
