I understand the temptation to do this.* But the focus of this site is Haley and not her detractors. So posts about them may be deleted in order to preserve an overall positive atmosphere. Below is a post by Tusk that contains some wise words on this subject.
*I intended to merge another thread into this one illustrating where I gave into the temptation, but the forum software merges threads together chronologically.

Quote:I know the temptation to confront these sorts of unfounded declarations, (but) at this stage there's really no point anymore.
All these exchanges do is give similar haters a platform to rally around (and there are fewer and fewer..we even had some converts as posted on IDF).
Haley and Interscope have given us ample evidence that she no longer needs AI as some sort of representation of legitimacy in the industry.
The Overwhelming positive response speaks to this. When was the last time we saw this level of approval of a new artist, without having put anything out. Scotty and Lauren's roll out were positive, but not near as over the top as has been received for Haley. James' roll out, although I pull for the guy, was like someone rummaging around in a dark room, stumbling and no direction.
Bottom line, not so much Haley's "Que Sera, Sera" attitude, I've taken on the philosophy that "The Best Revenge is Living Well"....Haley will reach across the continents with this debut those pitifull admonishings will sound more and more petty.
Let those haters scream into the night how much they dislike Haley. Let the industry and other artists do the talking for us, Hater's snipes will be shown for what they are: bitter, hateful and uninformed.
Where they stand will become a lonelier place. Let them stew in the refuse coming out of their mouths. We've got more pleasant things to listen to.
"Listen Up" is a perfect title for her debut. Thinking about how well Haley has been treated as a true artist makes it easier for me to ignore the opinions of those sad, wretched few.
