My take on it is a little different but somewhat in line with Herlock.  We all know that you can sometimes win your argument by praising the person at the start, making them feel special and then they'll back down and be kinder with you.  Well, this post by David seems somewhat similar to this to me, compared to his usual more abrupt approach.  This time it's more what he doesn't say.

However you take it I'm just surprised and happy that David's started posting about music on his FB!  :lol

If Mark was more media and had a private fb he would read David's words.

Well, it's well played return in tennis terms, as in an "i don't begrudge" manner if you ask me. Winner IF it's sincere actually!
p.s. please dont take that IF in negative context only,
you know, hope for the best and prepare for the worst, nothing to lose than, it's a win-win situation.

I hope Mark and David make peace eventually. They are old now, it's about time they left resentment behind and reunited as family. They have children who don't know their father's brother! Of course there might be stuff we don't know about and in that case I take my words back but if what we know isn't much different from what really happened they surely ought to talk.

Of course there's stuff we don't know, still frankly I don't like MK attitude vs DK at all

I know there is, but how relevant or bad is it? Bad enough to keep Mark from putting the guard down? How different is that from what we know? Life is too short. I feel comfortable to talk about it because I'm not on speaking terms with my sister - her husband is a douche and she won't talk to anyone who doesn't talk to him, so... but at least it doesn't prevent me from seeing my nieces and nephew.

Great post by David. Seems genuine and heartfelt.

As for the conflict between the brothers, what exactly is the heart of the it? David claims he's entitled to more money from his contribution on the first albums, Mark disagrees, and until that's settled, they really have nothing further to talk about?

I would guess that things are more complicated than this but I have no idea of the reality behind the feud.

After David left the band, both MK and John played in David's first record, so what happened when David left DS wasn't the reason of their nowadays situation.

I remember that when "Sultans of swing" compilation was out, David was very angry as MK management left him out of the royalties he would had to get paid by the songs in which he plays from his days with DS, he was angry not only with the management but also with MK as obvioulsy MK knew about it. As far as I know when DS signed the contract they did as a band so the four of them would had signed that right about royalties, maybe that royalties had a date limit, I don't know, but I know DK sued his brother, or his brother managemnt by this reason.

Also there is the MK first guitar chapter. MK gave MK first guitar to David and David about ten years ago tried to sell it in a place like Christie's, and MK got to know about it and bought his own guitar, we don't know if directly or through lawyers.

In this case, MK was entitled to buy his own guitar back at auction, rather than it go to someone else.  Nothing strange about that.  I would probably do the same if I had given something I treasured to someone and they put it up for auction.   ;)

The strange thing is that you give you first guitar to your younger brother and never care about it, never asked for the guitar to be back to you, until you see it's in an auction. I can understand that you see your first guitar in an auction and having money, you choose to pay for it and get it back to you but you never cared about it before... well, it's MK's right to do whatever he wants, of course.
