If you read my love for Robin post on the previous page, you'd see that I have already moved on and am actually glad Eric bailed. Nor do I think I'm speaking for Trent and I said as much stating we'll never know how he felt about Avery's decision.
I don't see why you have to get pissy because I don't particularly care for the bullshit way Eric handled things, or for thinking he is a very UNprofessional musician (not just based on this but based on his long history of this type of behavoir). If you disagree that's fine, but you can shove your high and mighty attitude where the sun don't shine as I do not appreciate being called a twat for expressing my opinion.
Do you see how you went from he had good reason, to then something we supposedly could infer as a good reason, to not needing to give a reason at all? I simply asked why people thought he had a good reason to bail. I haven't read one yet despite the piling on here. If he did have one (and who knows maybe he actually did), to me it didn't come across in his "farewell" post is all. Maybe people know something I don't? Is it actually up for debate that Avery had no clue about a world tour in 2014, and just thought it was a few festivals and a fall tour? I don't believe it is, as we all pretty much knew what was in the cards for NIN before the lineup was even announced.
I'm sorry if it bothers you that it bothers me that Avery bailed on a chance to do something special. As far as I'm concerned, it worked out for the best and I'm very happy about Robin being back in the mix, but that doesn't mean Eric gets a free pass for once again flaking on a project in my books. If he gets one in yours, good for you. If you or Orestes or any of the other people who facepalmed my post want to take issue with me for not feeling the same, that sounds like a problem on your end and personally I am unconcerned with that.
