You're just speculating at this point.

What if he simply doesn't care at all being there ?
It's not just the RnRHoF thing, how often do you see him on TV ? Right, close to never.
How many times does he talk about Dire Straits in interviews ? Right, close to none.

What about cutting him some slack ?

It looks like the fans are the ones who can't let it all go actually.
I agree.

Mark is not going either.

Apparently only John, Alan and Guy will be attending.
You might get lucky, now and then

And really, what a bunch of crap people say about him.  You guys ever stop to ponder why he wrote Broken Bones?

Sad situation. I kinda understand MK; but if he can't even sit with Alan or David side by side just for the one night... Sad situation. They shared the stage, bus, studio, hotel maybe home hundreds of time. But now they can't even say hi to each other.

Time has no shame indeed...

Can't believe Mark just can't let it all go. I mean, he's almost 70 and he still can't put the things that happened like 40 years ago behind his back?
David has even tried to make amends with him more than once... It's seems Mark can't just let it go.

The last time I saw David in concert, he wasted no time in saying bad things about Mark in front of the audience at every opportunity.      Mark doesn't bad-mouth David in a concert!   I didn't see any signs of him making amends on that evening!   It seems David can't let it go either!

I'm sorry, but this is such a one-sided discussion, Mark being Mr Bad Guy again and David Mr Wonderful!

What are we talking about? Mark is not an idiot and he knows everything about it. David, Alan. It is sad :(

he doesn't care about RRHoF ? that's 100% sure, he also doesn't care about fans, we wouldn't even know his decision if it wasn't for other members of the band, yet if someone he likes dies there's immediately a statement about what he thinks (already happened several times), but should fans know if he is going to the ceremony ? absolutely not

Or the other way around, it works too, it's purely subjective and even if we knew all the answers, should we really care about that ?

For all we know, Mark not showing up at RRHF may not have anything to do with any personal issues between the band members.
It's the end of a perfect day..,.

Well, maybe he doesn't see why we should care about it either.
What does the HoF mean to him ? Not much obviously. You probably care too much about it, even way more than he does, and maybe that's the real issue here.
But at the end of the day this is an issue mostly because you brought it upon yourself in the first place.
