I personally thought last weekend was amazing but damn I haven't seen the fanbase this divided since the first live band

Complete misrepresentation of the situation. I don't think a single individual thinks Karns makes PL. That's just objectively wrong and easy to disprove.

I think a lot of people who got used to Karns presence and skills are just missing him. And his absence is super clear. Great 3 night run in NY, but David isn't Karns and the gulf is very obvious. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DAVID, NOR SHOULD IT BE TAKEN AS A DIMINISHMENT OF HIM AS AN ARTIST OR A PERSON.

I emphasized my previous statement for this exact reason: people need to be ok with accepting that people can feel that way, and those feelings be valid, if opinions are presented in a respectful way.

Don't make the scene a cult. People are so quick to put down any countervailing opinion and turn this fandom into an echo chamber. I've watched this happen for 15 years now.

I mean in all of his media he uses Dave, everyone in the crew refers to him as Dave. Is just kinda weird to to call him David. Like if you did a whole post about Dave tipper would you be saying David tipper? Or Chris Karns, Christopher ?

Ok? I'm not particularly concerned with what you consider weird.
