Imagine that! The Catholic Church, lying to me!

Now go take your victim complex and shove it.

Revisionist. You never accept any criticism of your music; it's always my fault that I don't get it. Even on the very odd times that I do actually like it, you say nothing. Anyway we've danced this dance before and my feet are tired. Just try leaving people alone to like what they like and stop trying to make the music you like take over the world, huh? We'll all be a lot happier. I don't give you **** for what you listen to; listen to what you want. I don't give a single **** what you think about my music, I just see you're projecting the same arrogance onto what MicShaz likes, and it's typical of you. It's not surprising you get up so many people's noses.

Oh and I have never, despite your desperation for me to have done so, shouted NO I DON'T LIKE IT! I always give a reason WHY I don't like it and I always accept that others may do, it's just not for me. If that's not enough for you, and I know it isn't, go climb a tree. Your oversimplification of my reactions to albums/genres/artists is pretty annoying to be perfectly honest, and entirely untrue and completely biased.

He gets pretty pissed when you say things aren't music that he thinks are music with enough derision. I actually got under his skin pretty good with one of those conversations (he used "obnoxium" to describe my posts) and if Chula weren't hopeless at capitalizing on successful trolling he'd have wound him up pretty good on any number of occasions.

Yes, because it's music that's outside of your comfort zone that you're not familiar with. You 100% don't get it.

Here's a cookie for liking my music that one time.

tl;dr don't discuss music on a music discussion forum. Sorry for having the nerve to disagree with you, TH.

No you absolutely dig your heels in whenever I suggest that you're missing something about an album and demand that there is no possible way that you can be wrong. But sure, you like some albums sometimes, I'm sorry for not mentioning that too. Here's a cookie.

You do realize he's being ironic with all that braggadocio don't you?

I'm sad to see an increase in personal sniping recently on MB. Mods seem pretty slack about handing out warnings these days, so I think we might all benefit if we were to remember the rules when we post:-

Quote:

General Rules:
• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, trolling, purposeless inflammatory posts or members deliberately provoking another member into committing any of these acts.

What I notice is that it states clearly that we shouldn't be rude, insulting or make personal attacks.

Even though there is a general concensus irl that it is preferable to be open-minded, or un-biased or non-racist, none of those are MB requirements. What I'm saying is that even if you are reading the posts of someone you consider to be a bland, bigotted, close-minded racist who fails to get every joke and has lousy taste in music, that's still not a justification for breaking the rule about rude, insulting personal attacks.

My advice is to be tolerant; if you don't like a guy's politics or approach to music, don't fire off a personal insult. Instead, take a break, go to another thread and leave him be.

If I can't be rude then **** this site.

**Frownland** · 07-31-2018, 11:50 AM

I've actually noticed a dramatic decline in personal insults.

Urban built this place on rudeness and snarky remarks. If we stop that, we'd be doing a disservice to Urban, and I will not be a part of that.

Yes, we must not tarnish Urban's legacy of snark and creeping on underage girls
