Don't worry, Nea. One of these days you'll get the whole "humor" thing down. Just keep practicing.

I generally try to stay out of inane threads and discussions, especially the constant bickering. I've been around MB for a long time and there's still some great discussion going on (see re: homeostasis for a current example). It generally happens in a very few threads, but that tiny bit of activity is what keeps me here at the moment.

The rest of MB, particularly the uncivil bickering, is trash to me. And this site has been losing a lot of members who feel the same way up to very recently, I suspect.

I don't think MB belongs to those who contribute to the inane bickerings and drama. I know it seems like it does - and has for a long time - but I don't think it should.

I haven't read that thread, and don't intend to, but I thought namecalling and insults got you at least warned, if not banned? I know I got a warning for something I said. Is this now because Urban is gone, nobody is getting infracted? There shouldn't really be a reason for sinking to namecalling, except in humour, you shower of useless bastards.



Namecalling should really be seen as the lowest form of debate.
Cunts.

Default I believe your stance would be accurate and well-founded

But, you know what? This forum, being among my favorite places on the internet, has really made me sad of late. It seems like no one can discuss anything before people start throwing flaming vitriolic **** at each other. Must every topic end up with wanton ad homineming everywhere? Irrationality isn't justified because you think someone is a piece of **** for their point of view. Maybe they are, but you should articulate your logic before you make yourself look like an idiot.

I mean, ****, if you want to argue, great, but try to remain civil. And if you think I'm full of **** in this post, you should tell me why, rationally.

I can't conclude with empirical evidence that you're right - especially since I'm a new user - but the first feeling I got after reading your post is that you'd be correct. In fact, in my first post, I made sure to use really humbling language and "don't hate" because I was not sure how I would be received for just stating some bands I like!
