Are you having a go at this bloke because he's claiming that 'his taste
is supreme'?  Go back and look at what you've just written - you're
doing exactly that.  All the other bloke did was say he didn't like it,
and then explain why.  You seem to think that everyone else's opinion
are useless, and furthermore if it doesn't agree with yours it is 'a
stream of total bullshit', so much so that you want to hit them. 
Because you don't have an opinion, you have the TRUTH right?

So you're saying no-one is allowed to write anything about music until
they have ascended to some higher plane of musical evolution that only
you and Tom Jenkinson have achieved?

As far as I can see, when you put your music into the public domain, you
have to expect that some people are going to comment on it, perhaps even
negatively.  To compare someone disagreeing with your taste in music to
someone personally insulting your mother is stupid.  I personally think
the last 2 squarepusher releases are great - they've really grown on me,
but that doesn't mean I get worked up if someone disagrees with me.  I'm
disagreeing with you now, so does that mean I'll be getting angry emails
too? - if so, hit me with those CAPITAL LETTERS baby.

Just for the record, have you actually seen the squarepusher live band?
