actually it's not like that at all. You can always know the facts of something that happened in the past, and the circumstances surrounding it, but you can never truly understand the mindset of the people who went through it unless you were there yourself. No need to get defensive. Going by your own remarks it is easy to see you didn't understand why people were so polarized by that album. I was simply trying to show you that it was a much more complex issue for a lot of people than you're oversimplification of "you guys are whiny babies".
