It was never my intent to offend anyone by merely expressing an opinion. I hope I didn't come across as rude. English isn't my mother tongue so I'm aware I'm clumsy with words. I refrained from any insults but I don't understand the hyper sensitivity. This is a music forum, people discuss music, good and bad. I wasn't aware an artists thread has to be masturbatory.
I'm also scratching my head at the jump to disliking Florence means hating pop music. What? criticising an artist isn't a criticism of an entire genre. Please direct all implications of music snobbery and elitism elsewhere.
