Not everybody has your thick skin, and you're right, they shouldn't be in the thread in the first place if they cannot take it. This thread is obviously not just used for shitting on people at this point, though. Mild banter or even positive remarks are common from what I've seen. It has multiple uses then, yes? Maybe a new thread should be made for the mild banter and occasional positive remarks for sharing member opinions, and this thread can be purely for shitting on people with no remorse (which is apparently cathartic, not my cup of tea though.)

I personally think it's better to be mindful that this thread has strayed from its original intent and to not include members who do not want the more extreme side of the negative opinions you have to offer. Some people are just the way they are and it's better to accept that and respect it then take away a thread that may serve a use to someone who enjoys the aspects other than the original intent. This thread seems more laid back than a cathartic shitting session to me and the laid back aspect serves value in existing just as much as cathartic shitting on people. People who want both or one of the other should use their brains to come to an understanding on what is okay and what is not and proceed from there. If you don't agree with each other on what is okay that's perfectly fine. If you continue to shit on someone who has expressed hurt towards the shitting then you're just being a dickwad.

There's nothing wrong with someone who doesn't take negative criticism well. I don't. Yes, they could not read it, but what's the point in even writing something about somebody if they're not gonna read it anyways? Chances are they will since, as I said, this thread isn't just used for shitting on people. You don't need to censor the thread to a certain overall standard, just avoid involving people in this thread in the way it was intended to be used who don't wish to be involved. 9 times out of 10 (a statistic I pulled out of my ass) someone is gonna see it as an insult more than constructive or lighthearted, and if they do then avoid including this person and move on. That isn't censoring your thread. You made your opinion known and the person didn't like it and you've come to a solution. That is a better solution than mocking people who don't meet your standards for an appropriate reaction to a remark that may be lighthearted to you but overly offensive to them. This thread is asking for drama no matter what unless you meet half way and coexist among both the shitting and the dick-sucking.

That's just my opinion, though.

TL;DR: Shitting.
I also probably repeated myself a bunch but I guess that helps solidify my point within your brain.

Edit: Oh look, I found Justin's intro thread on Music Discussion, and it had this little gem...



I'm not letting you forget that, Justin.

Edit: Also like to say that Briks avatar looks like a depressed as **** version of Ben Wyatt from Parks And Rec.
