I have recieved quite a bit of criticism for the Worst Worship Songs post and subsequent comments. This is good, I guess, but it has made me a little wary of opening myself (and my various neuroses) up to be dissected by others. This quote from Lawerence Lessig (found in Free Culture, p. 156) allayed my fears. "We have a principle of free speech. We have this principle, not just because it is the law, but also because it is a really great idea. A strongly protected tradition of free speech is likely to encourage a wide range of criticism. That criticism is likely, in turn, to improve the systems or people or ideas criticized."(italics mine) I feel like that is what I, and you, fellow readers, have been doing in creating this monster of a post. And yes, the people who criticize the criticizers have equal right to do so (and an equal possibility of improving me). They may win yet.
