I think now I lost respect because his honesty is gone and is replaced by being contankerous. Or perhaps he didn't change, maybe it was my perception of him changed because I never quite figured him out at first. And I can't figure why while he doesn't like a lot of things on one hand and then be bothered by Frown or Hawk -- cause he isn't too unlike either of them.

But I didn't lose my **** over people not liking the album. All the harsh words I had in the last album club entry I participated in were specifically about a certain snobbish attitude that really rubs me the wrong way.
The only things I said about people not liking my pick were that they made me realize I'm rarely ever agreeing with anyone about music on here. Which is true, btw. I dislike almost every single album club entry and most people dislike mine, so I'm never getting any new music out of the album club, plus I'm never showing anyone else anything they want to hear. Add to that the 7 day deadline, week after week and you have something that I didn't really enjoy anymore.

If falling off a bike was an Olympic sport I would be the Michael Phelps of falling off of bikes. Don't treat the Album Club like it's the Tour de France where you always have to win. Don't try to be the Lance Armstrong of the Album Club.

People piss all over music I like everywhere else on MB and it doesn't bother me at all. That simply wasn't what me quitting was about. It was just a question of me realizing the album club was more of a monkey on my back by now than something I looked forward to. I'm very active elsewhere on the forum and I'm not going to quit.
I just don't want to do the album club and it's 7 day mandatory participation format anymore. I'd say that's pretty reasonable.
