It's not a good or bad thing, but I don't see you personally as an eclectic listener in the slightest. In the same vein, I never felt the need to grill you for it, because I think that's a tad bit rude(If I LIKE somebody's taste in music then I'll mention it. I if I don't I may phrase it as 'differences in opinion's', but never point the finger and go 'close minded douchebag'!!!). I don't understand how you can rip into DJ for it.
To be honest, as posters, I see you and DJ very much contributing positively in the same way. A lot of discussion, and a lot of keeping discussion, and keeping a strong social atmosphere. Personally, apart from DJ's ludicrous bitch wars with Paloma over the 'love' of another member of these forums(which very much scares me. Love you, DJ, and find you an incredibly nice guy, but I can honestly see taking this forum that emotionally, or personally being harmful to the community. Then again, I'm not judging, that's a mod issue. One of which bares little to no relevance how contributing you are 99% of the time), I don't think he's a bad member in the slightest. Neither are you.
However, by your own confession, you are a selective listener. You can't criticise a guy for listening to particular genres, when you pretty much stick to a very small umbrella yourself. As a mod, especially, that leads to poor image.
Dali's original post, I have no problem with. I don't agree with all of it, but he said what he had to, and it just felt like he was shooting from the hip. Furthermore, getting something off his chest. Your reply just felt like kicking the guy while he was down for something you could equally be criticised for.
I could send you a PM, but seeing as it was a public response to a public post, and in no way personal between us. I think it's fair to not the least DJ Chameleon to point out publicly. This forum is not a clubhouse, we can criticise each other's music opinions fine, but I don't think that should apply to making particular members feel alienated, at all. Which is exactly what I see you trying to do.
