It's quite clear that some people can't handle this thread. I think perhaps this thread could do with an opt out clause.
Those people that don't want to be included in this thread can be listed in the first post, in return they don't comment on anybody else and refrain from doing any posting in this thread.

Not sure, but just to let you know, we are filtering posts a lot more heavily than we used to, so posts that aren't considered well thought-out, and/or don't meet the basic expectation of quality that we require from posts in Editor's Pick, won't get approved. (Or may be approved accidentally, then deleted) Quote:
At least, that's what I'm getting from it. |

To be honest, as posters, I see you and DJ very much contributing positively in the same way. A lot of discussion, and a lot of keeping discussion, and keeping a strong social atmosphere. Personally, apart from DJ's ludicrous bitch wars with Paloma over the 'love' of another member of these forums(which very much scares me. Love you, DJ, and find you an incredibly nice guy, but I can honestly see taking this forum that emotionally, or personally being harmful to the community. Then again, I'm not judging, that's a mod issue. One of which bares little to no relevance how contributing you are 99% of the time), I don't think he's a bad member in the slightest. Neither are you. However, by your own confession, you are a selective listener. You can't criticise a guy for listening to particular genres, when you pretty much stick to a very small umbrella yourself. As a mod, especially, that leads to poor image. Dali's original post, I have no problem with. I don't agree with all of it, but he said what he had to, and it just felt like he was shooting from the hip. Furthermore, getting something off his chest. Your reply just felt like kicking the guy while he was down for something you could equally be criticised for. I could send you a PM, but seeing as it was a public response to a public post, and in no way personal between us. I think it's fair to not the least DJ Chameleon to point out publicly. This forum is not a clubhouse, we can criticise each other's music opinions fine, but I don't think that should apply to making particular members feel alienated, at all. Which is exactly what I see you trying to do.

Even in this thread there's things you shouldn't want to say. I think that when you pick the right subject, you can make everyone react like I do. You just have to hit the right subject. Quote:
Read in the introduction topic, I replied to Sara's posting. As far as Freebase goes; Are you repared to not reply to my postings unless it's absolutely necessary (for moderation reasons or whatever). I don't see you reviewing your afwul thoughts about me, so I think we're better of just not talking to eachother untill either you change your mind, or I get a job and have to admit you were right.

By the way, my original post had nothing to do about you and your job issues. I was speaking to your interactions at this forum, with people at this forum, which I've been present to observe. It wasn't until you arbitrarily steered the conversation toward a "job" direction, that I provided input to it. If you're unsure of how things have unfolded, I suggest you re-read everything. I would suggest doing this with at least a semi-open mind. As far as me not talking to you unless I'm going to tell you something that boosts your ego, I'm sorry... I don't work that way. I consider you an intelligent, thoughtful person... sure.. and that's exactly why I don't think I need to sugar-coat my opinions of you. I think you're a great guy, but you have some glaring downfalls that I'm not sure I can contribute to your condition, what with you being a logical person and all. I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong, but I think you should be the one to prove me wrong. So far, I haven't seen that. I would really like to, though. And that's not sarcasm. |

I listen to most genres actually, just selective groups out of them. I am a very open person to recommendations and actively seek them out from other members. So my mod image is perfectly fine. Not that there are particular standards you have to have being a mod in that regard. Quote:

I was more or less querying him, not attacking him.

Funny, if there was one person I would have thought had a kind of Aspergers, it would've been Freebase. Extremely intelligent and eloquent, but with a sort of cold...deadness behind it. :\

I picture Freebase sometimes like Christian Bale in American Psycho. Very clean and neat type person with an apartment that has a cold empty feeling to it like no one really lives there. No warmth to it.
