Spill Your Guts: What You Really Think About MB members

YorkeDaddy · 08-23-2014, 10:43 AM

Actually I think most people post on here because they like music and they especially like talking about it. Good try though, I guess. You'll certainly never be getting my facebook, that's for damn sure.

At the least have the courtesy to add constructive criticism to the subject.

I agree with this. It's not her different opinion that I have the problem with, it's how desperate she is to prove you wrong when there's no need for the aggro. I think it's great that we have more people contributing to musical discussion but I am merely stating my frustration at her intensity. I'm sure it's something I'll just get over, but I just felt like sharing it. I see I'm not the only one.

Was it really necessary to say that? Is that all you can contribute?

But there are different reasons why some people don't/won't share facebook profile page. They can be more cautious about people out there phishing for personal info or just want to remain anonymous, not because they don't want to appear as being "starved for attention." I think people who use it have various different reasons, and "starved for attention" doesn't have to be the under-pinning reason.

It's really pitiful that you're defending this. There is absolutely no other logical reason anyone would have their Facebook in their signature on a forum. If you want to be FB friends with people on here, send the link to those members in a PM instead of making it so anyone can go look. It's objectively stupid, I don't really see how else it can be viewed. I guess I shouldn't judge someone for having such severe issues that you want anyone that visits this site to be able to check out your entire personal life, but I don't want any part of it.

Wow dude, you're assuming ALOT, so she has severe issues just cause she has her FB on her sig?

What if she is just a sociable person that uses other social sites to keep in touch with ppl? can't it be that?

If I wasn't absolutely ashamed of all the frienemies I have made here, I think I might advertise MB on facebook. But because MB has the sorta people I encounter here that are hard to take, I don't. I think I like the separation of MB people and irl people and my facebook people who are mostly irl people I don't get to see irl. So I don't think the opposite of advertising facebook on MB so different from the thought of advertising MB on facebook.

I think there is idea of incorporating and linking all your (meaning anybody's) social media together. I think maybe by degree it seems more acceptable, and not so strange to do. Maybe at one time it wasn't deem as the more reasonable thing to do, but as people get more acclimated with social media it seems like the natural thing to do.

I think your theory is more a far stretch that it is systematic of "attention starvation."

otherwise you're an attention whore, right?

that's basically your point, no?

i don't get why you are twisting this into a negative thing simply because you're not into social sites like her, if you don't care for her FB link don't click it then, i didn't even know the damn thing was in her sig until you mentioned it.

YorkeDaddy almost always comes periodically to MB to complain, am I the only one who notices this?

Neither did I. It's almost as if he was just looking for something to comment on.
