Looking at this objectively, no where did Michael bash Stapp in his post from The Pit. He simply stated that what Stapp said wasn't true. That's not a bash, that's posting his opinion/fact regarding the issue. Also this Creed Greatest Hits album has nothing to do with Stapp's solo career? You made it seem from this paragrah that it does have to do with his solo career, or at least the info Stapp gave from his interview that it does.
Also, the fans ARE NOT getting the DVD they have been hoping for. This DVD will contain music videos and live performances of individual songs. I think everyone has been waiting for a live concert DVD, which is what we were "supposed" to get way back from the Weathered tour.
