The Constructive Ideas Thread

[djchameleon]

I agree with pretty much everything GB said

[Trollheart]

I do too, and he has such a way of taking the time to spell out each point in detail so nobody can possibly misunderstand him. A shining example.

I, too, am tired of Vegangelica's eternal crusade on behalf of what she sees as the underdog. You know, like they said in the Simpsons once, sometimes people are just jerks. You don't defend jerks. If you can get rid of them you do. I quote once again the wise Vulcan: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one."

Words to live by.

My god some of you guys are offended by everything. This is the internet not a house of god, people will have differing opinions and like real life sometimes someone will annoy the masses and get picked on because of it.

If you cant deal with that i dont know how you get through life...maybe in a bubble.

"Needs of the many"? This site feels like a club, but it's actually set up for the general public. In theory, it should be the dominant music forum, but look at how few people are active and how lousy the music discussion is. Only a few times per month do I see any music thread worth replying to (granted, there are some sections I don't follow). It sounds to me that was the underlying point by Duga and Pedestrian, and it certainly is mine. I doubt anything will really change unless the sheriff orders it. I could be long gone, and the same old [bleep] will be happening. Wake up.

I'm sick of people requesting the mod team be nicer and nicer and nicer and less and less confrontational. How forgiving do you want them to be? You saw the sopsych situation grow and spread out of all control until it dominated all chat on the forum, the plug.dj, and the thread was an unholy mess. It survived for over 40 pages and 7 whole days of ceaseless, fruitless argument and even when it WAS finally resovled the person at the center of it wasn't banned.

Oh? Meanwhile, it seems like people can hurl insults regularly and never get banned. "Trolling" becomes a cop-out, sweeping under the rug. Real trolling includes insincerity. Nothing I said was bogus. Every point was reasonable enough, and it was said in the right part of the site for that. There's some weird, unhappy stasis in Music Banter, like Congress.

I'm logging out to avoid temptation.

I'm still baffled by the fact that most posts I have seen from you are criticizing the site and apparent lack of uninteresting music threads. Uninteresting to you, perhaps, but not to others. That's fine, there are threads here that I am not the least bit interested in either. But you keep going on and on and on about how terrible and uninteresting this place is and how you're going to start amazing threads that are better than everyone else's. You seem awfully keen on being MB's white knight.

I'm guessing your ban wasn't enough of a wake up call. I'm surprised it even got to that point because I expected you would have flounced by then.

You and 216 can enjoy tea and crumpets together on my ignore list. I'm sick of seeing your posts and yet you do nothing to help the forum but complain.

How do you add someone to ignore? And do all the old posts not show up?

Go to profile > user lists (below name) > add to ignore list.

And yes, anything that isn't quoted is hidden based on the person you want to ignore.

Cheesus there's always some drama here, why can't we all just get along?
