I’m only posting this here because the main-page article has more than 200 comments. Here is mine:
Per Gessle need not apologize for, or defend, anything. He and Marie are the artists-in-charge of Roxette. They are welcome to do whatever they decide upon. Anybody who disagrees with their decisions is welcome to stick it. World without end Amen.

i agree with Oldag and Per and to be honest it makes me kinda embarassed to read what some people have been saying.

i agree Zaine... there must be respect about everything.. have you ever thought what kind of messages has received Per for feeling so bad that had to write to us in this web?
if people have sent to him messages telling just the half of what i have read here... then i imagine he must has been really hurted. he is Per Gessle for love shake!! he is our idol!!

no dont turn it grey or make it disappear.
let us have one thread in this forum. I never visit the main rox forum as everyone goes mental in there. maybe we can have a civilised discussion about it here.
if you dont wanna join in, then ignore it. or go to the mental page and shout and insist that your thoughts are correct. let the rest of us talk calmly about it.
cheers.

=============================
I say, this really separates the “fans” from the “non-fans” and certainly the “fanatics”. It is almost embarrassing to read some of the whinging that’s going on here. geesus get a grip. P & M don’t need to prove anything to anyone, they’ve been around 20 years for f**ks sake, so they must be doing somethign right. Get over yourselves and stop taking it so damn personally.

Hmmm, it’s not too tempting to go back to the frontpage, I’ll probably see something offensive again, and get caught in the trap of responding. Perhaps I will join in your calm discussion afterall. Speaking about respect: respect is a two-way street.
In hindsight, perhaps if some of the disappointed fans were a little more tactful in their approach to expressing their disappointment concerning the tracklisting, we would not have received the (in my opinion) less than impressive response from Per, and things would not have gotten so out of hand. In my opinion, when the fans began to attack other fans for “not sharing their opinion”, or, “for not having as positive an outlook as themselves”, this only escalated the situation further. No one appreciates having somone impose their viewpoint on everyone else.
Respect for Per, and respect for eachother is what it boils down to.

I am surprised this is still here, normally anything in the wrong section on TDR get’s moved or greyed out, maybe those mods are softening after all! ;)
