Sam Spence[edit]
First of all, thank you for writing to me, sincerely.
Second, I have no personal axe to grind against Sam Spence. In fact, I love the guy's work. I also happen to realize that many of his compositions are ripoffs of established film scores. Now you're correct, my opinion means bupkus. However, two independent reviewers do something of an authority make; plus, I think it's a topic interesting and informative enough to publish.
Third, you have much merit to your criticism. My first edit was subjective POV (point-of-view) at its worst, and very close to slander. Your deletion brought that to my attention. Further, your second complaint gave me further food for thought: My second edit still contained misleading statements, as you painstakingly described. I re-edited my contribution to address your issues: I made clear these are two and only two sources, and there is both positive and negative views on some selections of his body of work. I hope you find it more agreeable, if not totally acceptable.
Fourth, I believe you meant to put your differences in the Talk/Discussion section of "Sam Spence's" entry. I've responded in kind there as well; whether you choose to leave your message to me there I leave to you. (If I'm making yet another assumption, consider myself chastised.)
Just one more thing: I consider myself reasonable, so don't feel you need to get antagonistic. I can take good criticism, and if you hold my section intolerable, I would not be insulted if you deleted it again; life will go on. Just consider improving it versus sacking it. Once again, thanks, in all sincerity. –TashTish (talk) 21:56, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
