Why no little statement?
If the real reasons are personal problems with Alan and David, then it is understandable to not drag them into the public light, especially given the private person Mark is.
If he would put forward other reasons people would attack him for being dishonest.
So remaining silent is probably not the worst thing under these sad circumstances.

Good point.
"It's a great honor for DS to have been inducted and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that voted for the band. Unfortunately I'm on a tight schedule with the musical and my new solo album so it will not be possible for me to attend the ceremony."

How is this simple little statement problematic in any way? It's just not and that is all that he had to do and avoid all the fuss that happened since. It's not about any specific person, it's not dishonest and it doesn't give any hope of an immediate reuninon and it's much easier to avoid the reunion or any other unwelcome questions later once the whole thing cools down. Even in interviews once he starts promoting his new work it will all be much less in focus and easier to deal with.

Staying silent probably just was the worst thing to do.

You said it all.

I actually think I love MK even more than before with this bad-ass attitude :) as cool as Vader saying "as you wish" or "I find your lack of faith disturbing" or "it is too late for me"...
Don't worry, there is still good in him. Anakin Knopfler will be back...

I think it's something deeper...

Guy Fletcher to the question: May I know, what was Mark honest reaction, when you gave him to his award from the RRHOF?

GF: best not

Mark on the site has always commented on current topics. It's something deeper. Why pretend someone nice?

But the link to the RRHOF induction and speeches are on his official website. Everything is mysterious...

Why pretend someone nice? What do you mean?

Mark didn’t have to list the issues that prevented him from showing up. It’s been very well explained by primi if I’m not mistaken. But ok, Mark can do no wrong.

Amazing how this death topic remains active

This is funny — 100 pages of discussion before the ceremony and then... 5-6 pages with slow discussion of this mess. Maybe MK's plan works after all!

Death topic?  Maybe this is why it remains open.  The the Dire Straits exhibit at the RRHOF posted on FB tonight courtesy of Shawn Loudermilk.  A little thin on the ground.  Apparently the accordion was used by AC on BIA.  Guy Fletcher has said he is going to gather up some things for the exhibit.

Thanks and that's what I wanted to see.  Don't know what item was from John's collection.

So someone wrote something brainy and deleted it later, ashamed about it... I see.
