Are we allowed to express negative opinions here?

I mean, if it's a negative opinion of an aspect of the band (or a particular bandmember) but it's not mean-spirited? We can express ourselves here without being called "trolls" just for disagreeing with the admin? Because I can think of another place where this isn't so...

Rock on HTGTH, you're leagues ahead of MyGNRForum.  (I'm not being sarcastic.)

Of course....that's what it's all about, discussion......BUT the main problem we have here is that no matter what......everything reverts back to Slash vs. Axl.  My main solution would be any negative comments you have would probably be better off put in the Dead Horse section of the board.  That way it can be contained better, because as much as I love this board to death.......the old vs. new band conversation is about as interesting as watching paint dry. 

All for negativity though!!! Freedom of expression woot woot.

If you weren't allowed to express "negative" opinions, I would have been banned a long time ago. Jarmo isn't stupid. He has always allowed his members to discuss topics in any way they prefer and to feel like they have the right to do so without worrying about being outcasts or being banned. I think it is even easier now, because the karma system ensures that you can say how you feel without worrying about being constantly insulted and harassed because of your opinions.

 We are all GNR fans. We all just have our own opinions and interpretations of what happened, and why. It brings interesting discussions, and helps keep the forum alive. If everyone was on the same page, every thread would just be "I agree" posts.
