I have noticed in the past that a very small portion of the community on this blog can come across as arrogant, aggressive, and narrow in taste. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Maxwell and his team, but the comment pages periodically look like they are populated by weak-minded social climbers from the Victorian era.

I love every single one of the readers of this blog who did not complain about Justin Bieber. I hope the rest of you will go elsewhere to whine. You do not contribute anything positive to this community. I love this community, and you few complainers stick out.

Maxwell, I realize you will probably have to avoid this kind of post going forward to hold on to the kinds of readers who profess that this single post has "significantly lowered" their opinions of this blog, but you do not have anything for which you need to apologize.

Your blog is as great as it ever was.

I don't like Bieber's music normally, but I clicked on the link anyways, and I enjoyed the song. This is not the first time I thought I disliked something and found out via your blog that I actually liked it in a particular permutation.

It's considered a mark of good taste (and a positive contribution to society) in some circles to openly insult Justin Bieber as if he is an inanimate object rather than a person. It makes some people feel proud for some reason. You just accidentally stumbled into it. I am sorry that a small percentage of your readership has degraded to this level, but they do not represent the mass of us who have been reading your blog every day for years. The presence of a singer we may not like does not offend us to the point of attempting to shame you into adopting a narrower range of taste.

Keep up the great work, please, and ignore those few readers. Post whatever you want on here. That's what made me fall in love with this place.
