I can see a lot of good points being made here, and maybe I have misread some situations. The major one being that I did'nt know that half of the posters in this thread were moderators! That would account for my misunderstanding as to when things get a little heated I mistook some posters for members NOT moderators. Perhaps something more than your nickname in bold to denote your mod status?

-----In order for clean, healthy discussion to be held, those who participate in said discussion need to be capable of basic conversational etiquette. They need to be capable, and willing, to contribute more than just some ****ing bull**** like "WORST BAND EVER" or "OMG, THEY ROCK!!!". Posts need to be insightful and creative. If people are posting nothing but "THEY SUCK", how is any form of conversation supposed to build off of that? Give opinion, give argument for your opinion, and when someone has a conflicting opinion....let it turn into a civilized discussion....not a ****slinging contest. If you don't like someones taste in music, don't just respond to their posts to tell them that they listen to crappy music...that does nothing but clutter the boards. When someone starts a thread about a band that you don't like....why even bother going INTO the thread, much less posting in it, unless you are willing to give an opinion and back it up with legitimate arguments, not just crap like "BECAUSE THEY SUCK".-----

I have done none of these things and back up my opinions with my reasoning, whether it's valid or not.

If I caused any offence-I apologise. I do think the mod's should warn some on the boards who are being offensive for the sake of it-I wont name names, but I have seen many pointless post's that correspond with your statement above.

Thankyou for your time to read this and am glad to be a part of a community that has showed me some new music already.
