    The rumor mill that gave me most of what I know about this incident didn’t tell me that piece, so that’s why I’m “on about” not knowing what you know.

    And here I assumed you’d read the same article we’re both commenting under where they said as much. My mistake.

    It would be interesting to see what would have happened had Macklemore spoke about Africa

    No it wouldn’t. We both know nothing would happen.

    I think that’s lame. You do not.

    Don’t put words in my mouth. It’s not going to get you anywhere.

    As far as Macklemore is concerned, this is the best outcome possible. He gets tons of free publicity, and the topic he spoke about gets even more coverage as a result of what happened. And everytime Ed performs without his openers, the papers will talk about why that is.

      Nope. Not everyone has infinite time like you do. Sorry to report I’m a mere mortal.

      No it wouldn’t. We both know nothing would happen.

      Yeah, again, I’m only a mortal so I lack the prescience that you possess. A thousand apologies for my limitations.

      Don’t put words in my mouth. It’s not going to get you anywhere.

      Then, pray tell, why are you saying what you’re saying in this thread? I made a reasonable conclusion about your intent and you didn’t even deny it (yet), nor clarify what your actual intent is. You just sass me for having wounded your ego.

        While i do not doubt that you’d need infinite time to read a single article. I managed just fine in 2 minutes.

        It’s pretty clear what I’ve said for those who can read. And most of it seems to be because people like you type shit without even bothering to read what it is you’re commenting on. Just going around spreading misinformation. But just for you. I’ll use small words.

        He just wants to sing and that’s it. He did not want to get involved at all in this ‘fight’. I think it’s cowardly. Ed also has (or had) hundreds of people working for the tour. That may very well rely on the tour to bring home money. He has enough money to say fuck it and go home. Same can’t be said for everyone else.

        And don’t worry, there’s no ego to wound here.

        Trying to waste others time by making them deny or defend against baseless claims is the type of shit Trump does. And the only measured response is to not even dignify it.
