So what you are telling us is that you are a huge fan of The Beatles? If being disingenuous about tastes in music is what it takes to grow our community, then I don't want to be a part of this community.

Not a huge Beatles fan, but I love much of their music.

Yeah, they SHOULD.  You're basically driving away the site's best customers with all the anti-DT sentiments.
