I don't think that you are seeing Tony for what he is. He characterizes all of us as disobedient children. The implication is that we are disobedient children of God.

Tony sees himself as a righteous Warrior. He sees these rantings on a songwriting site as if he was Paul on the road to Corinth. That is an airtight bubble. He is not going to change or be open to reason. He is inextricably convinced that you and everyone who does not subscribe to the Church of Tony is blind and a disobedient child.

All of this is glorifying in the mind of Tony, but absolute poison to any constructive Unity on a site that claims to be about songwriting. Tony is not going to be talked out of his delusions. They are too emotionally rewarding for him.

The biggest problem in all of this Is Brian Whitney. It's completely dysfunctional and he could stop it at any time, but year after year, he lets it go on, and then blames the participants.

Sometimes broken is just broken.
