I dont think its a case of anybody falling for the bleating - the vast majority are quite capable of making their own minds up.
And most have decided that Nicki has been out of order a few too many times.
So much so that Id agree there are times now when he is hard done by and it almost seems like he has lost the right to the benefit of any doubt in any incident.
Also agree with SCB when he says that once Nicki hangs up his gloves he will leave a big hole (one big enough for even him to get through without contact - wink)
