As far as the topic goes, I don't see how people finding Urban rude and abrasive is any less valid than your considering Burning Down to be boring or generic, I forget which. Beyond that I agree with everything else you said

I respect your reply greatly, and I agree with it to an extent. Thanks for it. It's thoughtful, careful, and explains your position. Thanks.
I just want to take issue with the "changing his ways" part first. Please explain to me how a single member should hold the authority to change the entire posting personality of another member, based on his own reaction to such a thing.
Secondly, are we simply posting opinions, or are we posting expectations of change? I can think BD is boring and generic all day, but I'm not going to expect her to become dynamic and interesting. I posted an opinion. It's out of my hands after that point. I hold no expectations, nor do I hold her to them.
I'm just saying that personalities are personalities. We can love them or hate them. And in this thread, we are given free reign to do both. And everyone is encouraged to disagree. And everyone is encouraged to agree. The moment you stamp on that ability is the moment you're in trouble.
