I used to think MusicBanter has its genre biases and double standards and whatnot...but that's really all in the head, and a skewed perception of reality. If any one of you believe that there are problems present, then its a problem with a few specific individuals, not with the forum as a whole.
All that being said, nobody is keeping track of everybody here 24/7, and the only reason some of you have any seniority at all is because you make an effort to stay engaged in a lot of the discussions that go on here, not to mention all the chatroom antics, etc. I've always sort of floated in and out of here, but even I've managed to make a few friends here and there through MB.
If someone is going to call Urban or anybody else in the "mod clique" out for their supposedly elitist or hypocritical behavior, crass attitudes, etc., then cite specific instances where you notice that kind of thing: don't generalize, because it undermines the validity of your observations. How can you expect anybody to respect the nuances of your personality if you aren't going to bother to respect theirs?
I've jabbered long enough here, but unless you guys are looking for someone to become the next Boo Boo or something, I'd say just chill out and banter (somewhat) constructively. What's the point of being on this forum otherwise?
