To be honest, I don't want Baggs writing about himself in third person and listing bits of his knowledge in the most uninteresting way on The Polite Force and I don't think it would be good contribution to the Prog & Fusion Album Club either should it survive in the future. From what I can tell, you're not here to join in enlightening discussions, but to demonstrate how much you know about prog music in a way that suggests you believe that knowing more makes you a superior person. I think that's the least charming quality regularly encountered in music fans and the prog subcommunity here has so far mostly been blessed with an absence of that kind of attitude.

The reason there is an "attack brigade" is that your overall effect on what's left of the (slowly dying) prog community here is negative. I see your threads like the prog & religion one and think; "I could contribute something here, but this guy and the way he writes makes me not want to". It's like reading a condescending, boastful monologue instead of something that invites peers to a fun discussion. When attempting to be part of a community here or elsewhere and reap the benefits of that, I believe you'd be more successful if you change your behaviour.
