Fuck you, let's dance.

I think you're right. But I thought it's fine to talk about my personal face-punching desires here. What's wrong with a little bit of punching?

Not me.

I honestly have no idea which thread you're referencing. I'm pretty sure I didn't post anything in any thread that fits your description.

Most of your posts bother me (although I do like Tom Waits). I'd have to do some research to give you a concise answer. Also, didn't you already claim the whiny soap-box for your own a long time ago? If not, take it, I don't want it.

The who?

Also, I'm honestly sorry if I've stirred shit. I was just spilling my guts. No big deal.

I love you all so very much, assholes and nice people alike. :love::love:

Most of that was for Ska Lagos who got pissed I called him a closed-minded jackass in a thread about the problems of homosexuality.

As for you, Engine, I don't know what your problem is with me, but whatever it is I hope it works out for you.

Wait a god damn minute. I'm arrogant. I just stumbled upon:

That was your post. Thats all you ****ing said to someones tribute thread. I scare new people away?

You know I've bit my tongue for awhile but this place is a ****ing disgrace. A mod agreed with you on that one too. So in light of this, let me spill my guts about the mod team.

No saying anything when the forum starts to unravel is irresponsbile. Not publically realigning things, so people know there are rules, what they are, and how they should be interperted, is irresponsible. I don't really speak to any of you, so maybe you feel this way, but honestly I just don't get the plan sometimes. Theres no coherent message, and madness like this is allowed to run rampant.

No one here owes me anything. My time is over and frankly when I asked Yac to delete my account, I wish I hadn't been talked out of it. But new people come here a lot, theres a new crop of regulars. What must they think? For Ska Lagos to say I scare away new people, then make such a douchey post which was barely on topic, assanine, and elitist to the Nth degree is outlandish.

I'm done trying to make a ****ing difference. This place has driven me absolutely bat**** bonkers. I just look at everything that goes on and I wonder "does anyone give a **** anymore?" This place has become a playground for the bored and the boring.

If you read this, and you don't know any of the backstory then take this away from my post: If you're new here, don't use the shoutbox. Don't look for easy topics like Zeppelin, Sabbath, Tupac, and Lady Gaga. Go read the journals, they are a treasure trove of great new music and insightful commentary beyond the "i like them" one-liners that infect the regular threads and forums.

It's 2011, and John Bonham died in 1980. Of course, it's logical nobody is going to take a thread like that very seriously. I mean, he might as well done an "RIP Napoleon" thread.

And you're not fixing anything. As I stated a million times before you barely ever talk about music on these forums, and grind people into the ground on any lounge related topic.

I may be a pretentious **** but I think my posting history can attest to the fact I've been extensively contributing to the jazz, classical, avant garde, metal, and even pop forums. You've just been contributing to the topics only about the bands that the Rolling Stone has been beating everyone over the head with as superior anyway.

So, please, if you're tired of trying to fix this 'festering wasteland' then **** off, I don't think it needs you.

P.S. Jazz drummers are better from a technical and emotional level than John Bonham. Elvin Jones will never get a 30 year post-mortem remembrance even though he's infinitely more skilled, and significant. It's a shame you're too busy sucking up to Jack White's dinosaur '3 chord hipster **** rehashing of a genre that's been rehashed so many times it's cliched' cock to realize what I'm trying to do here.

Stu. He's a good guy. Keeps thing in perspective.

Why so serious people?

Yeah he seems neat. Engine does too.

Long standing who complain about this place going downhill - hypocrites for not particularly really contributing to the music discussion. I'm sure it'd be great to have guys like Clutnuckle, and James back, but they're not going to magically come back, and make this place better. Please either:

A) Contribute to the music discussion just a little bit.

B) Leave.

I left this forum for 3 months due to a ridiculous freakshow begging people to support album clubs, post new blogs etc. After enthusiastically running 2 blogs(one included a discography of a man who did 100 albums), etc. I am shocked I came back after the ridiculously prolonged ****storm that happened after Dirty had been banned for the second time.

Fact of the matter is, I really do believe in this place. But I kind of feel that the only thing that is hurting it is the quality of posts NOT the quality of members. Sure, I'll argue with a new guy here and there, but I'm including them in discussion. It's better than the mindless sniping, and sarcasm that's happening otherwise.

Rather than hoping the 'good members' come back, maybe we should be spending effort actually trying to generate interest in music than trying to establish as some sort of base the new guys can defend their points, and bring new ones.

And if anyone blames it on my attitude, or whatever the **** happened with TheBig3. That was my personal reaction to a ridiculous snipe from a man who prided himself in sniping people condescendingly. I am not taking the fall for this whiney, sarcastic, walker toting 'remember the good ol' days of this forum' geezer elitist bull****.

Nor my purist music attitude meant to dispel, and give option to members to question the norms mainstream culture forces upon them. Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe, but it at least ****ing generates conversation relating to the core topics, NOT sniping, or elitist sarcasm.

Doom Drew - probably the best noob we've had in awhile, just popped up out of nowhere. Hopefully he keeps around.

eraser.head - no getting through no matter how valid your points are
