[Dynagroove] Don?t Give Into The Submission...

[D. F. Bacon]

And to add to that, I was attacking what you said not
you personally Imad. 

Ive never even met you. 

I simply found it ironic that you claim to be about
love and peace and community and then you were willing
to reject a group of people who obviously wish to
build a positive community like you based upon what
they like to listen to.. 

either you aren't really about what you say you are or
you need to rethink what you said. I don't think you
can be about both and still believe your position is
legitimate.
