If you don't implement that rule you're worse than Hitler. The people want it.

You're the one giving me the most **** for it, so I will not.

An album of it wouldn't be that great, but it was a very welcome change in style at that point of the album.

I don't even know how to respond to this. I took a suggestion from a member of the club who has contributed and is well known, noted that I thought it would start a ****storm. Two or three other people supported it so I put it to the vote. And I still get called a fascist. Oh man. Like, just **** you. Totally.

Good review by the way.
I doubt you'll like their second album any better than the first, as this was hard-edged compared to The Door Behind the Door, which is pretty much dreamy all the way through.

Re your point about Merzbow etc; all I want, as I said, is a few lines if that's all you can manage, and I would rather everyone listened to every album, otherwise we'll have a pick-and-choose mentality where half the albums won't get listened to.

Now I have to go: Poland won't invade itself, you know.

But you definitely seem to like it.

Well ****ing obviously. You're directing your displeasure at me, so how else am I supposed to respond?

I directed general displeasure at the rule. You just happen to think that you are the rule or something, idunno. Learn to context.

And then you started knocking me and bat as not liking the rule because we're lazy. Let's not pretend that you didn't contribute to this lol.

Bummer.

Ja and that doesn't seem like it would really be an issue. I'm saying we should do something more sensible so that this thread retains an element of fun and not of totalitarian obligation. A 3 strikes rule sounds reasonable.

Where did I say that? I made it quite clear that I didn't think it would go down well, and then I put it to the vote. And you can be a fascist for liking things now, can you? You guys really are hard work. Sometimes I don't even know why I bother. You see something like this and your only interest seems to be in tearing it down, mocking it, pulling it apart or finding fault. It gets very old. And predictable. How would you like it if people kept voting late on your Metal Survivor thread, or for the wrong genre, and then gave you **** for being a fascist? See, rules are ok when they suit you. You just like pissing me off. Which you're very good at. You and Frown should take your act on the road.

Actually, checking back, yes, you're right about that. My apologies.

But let's not pretend either that you and him weren't just gunning for me. You know you were: you have form.

Anyway, **** the rule. Let's do the three strikes thing then. Is everyone happy with that? Miss three albums and your next slot is moved to the back of the queue? Is that three times in a row, or three times in total?

No I thought it was a dumb idea when OH said it, and I actually like him. Sometimes people just disagree with you without it being a personal attack.
