Brian,
I've enjoyed the site and like having a place to put up a song. Your site is a habit for me. For my part, I'll be happy to pledge and give $300, but in all sincerity, this site has become mostly about arguments.

In my opinion, it makes little sense to contribute to a songwriting site where there are things like the rant section, political arguments, and interpersonal arguments that are allowed to go on and on, eclipsing the songwriting efforts.

So my pledge is contingent on a commitment those things going away and the trolls being told to shut it down.
Yes, I know that I have been a combatant often, but it is the only website where I am. On all other sites that I visit, insults are not allowed to fly at me, and I bother no one.

If my position seems unreasonable, I will ungrudgingly accept things the way that they are, but do not see the point in contributing money to something that is most likely going to flame itself out with off-topic vitriol anyways.

Very sincerely,

Martin
