Mike Portnoy

   After all the backlash of Dream Theater's split with Mike, who's side is everyone on.

I can sympathize with Mike, but to be honest he sounds to be a wee bit overdramatic. People leave bands all the time, but the way he did it made it sound sooooo sad and melancholic, when in fact it was just some guy leaving a band. It's only a band for Pete's sake. 

Everyone was acting like he died, and to be honest I think it's going to be interesting to hear a new Dream Theater album, and isn't that what Prog really is about, moving foward and doing something different every time. And to be honest...I was a bit annoyed with Mike the past few years, trying to suck up to record companies and trying to be liked all the time. 

So...any thoughts
