Well basically this guy...let's call him Jeff, posted a link on Download Festival's facebook which had an interview in it where Mr. Copping said; "Metallica are a great band but if they went away for three or four years then came back then they'd be even bigger. When they keep coming back they become boring."

Copping added: "Metallica have toured extensively and have been here for seven of the last eight summers. For me that is definitely overdoing it."

Now Jeff, among others also called him a c**t.

This is were it gets interesting;

At the beginning there is some basic arguments about 'Download not being a metal festival etc. and the occasional moron that keeps standing with his own point etc.

Meanwhile, they keep calling him a c**t and a moron etc

At a certain point though, Mr. Copping HIMSELF decides to reply, insulting jeff, who is a transsexual and everyone else. He then gave us some silly points, not thinking about the consequences, and retreated to Twitter.

As quoted by one of the victims;

"He insulted transsexuals.

He didn't answer our points.

He booked Metallica even after saying they'd be a boring booking when Soni booked them.

He retreated to twitter when he knew he was beaten."

Can I remind you all that he's the festival organiser of Download Festival, and isn't supposed to do things like this?

So he reacted like a twat instead of realising he's in PR and should get over it? That's nothing new, he's been doing that for years.

I fail to see how insulting someone that's calling him a c**t makes him prejudiced, just because the person he reacted to happened to be a transexual. Even if he used insults specifically related it could just be that he was pissed off and meeting abuse with abuse.

If a transexual called me a c**t I wouldn't have any qualms about calling them a w*nker. Equal treatment includes not treading around and avoiding abusing someone who's being a twat just because of their changed gender.

I'm not defending him btw, he is a stupid c**t a fair whack of the time, it's just from what you've told me I don't think there's sufficient reason to believe he's actually prejudiced.

Did he insult transexuals or did he insult someone who happened to be a transexual (who had, among others, already insulted him)? There is a difference.

Not entirely sure why so many people feel justified in calling someone they don't even know such an offensive term without a reason or justification. ;) The anonymity of the internet eh! ;)
