Who cares what other people think?

Everyone on the internet.

@ Rubber Soul: Yes, you absolutely belong here, rubber soul. As you know, I've always enjoyed your many contributions to the music threads. :thumb:

@ Everyone: If this thread is a cry for attention, well it's hardly the first such on MB, so why not give RS some forum love, meagre as it is, and vote "Yes" in the poll to cheer him up?

@ YorkeDaddy: Regardless of the rights and wrongs of your difference of opinion, if rubber soul is more thin-skinned than you first expected, why not offer to leave him alone? He's been going through some difficult things irl recently and in any case, there's plenty of space on MB for two contradictory opinions to co-exist; plenty of space for two members to dodge around each other.

I was completely ready to do just this, until he continued on multiple occasions to make snide, passive aggressive comments during discussions I wasn’t even a part of, saying nonsense like “lol don’t say such and such or you’ll be called a racist.” It was so obnoxious and frustrating that I called him out on it. If he would have stopped talking about it after our initial discussions I never would have brought it up again

^ If that's true, perhaps he'll tone that down when he comes back now that you've pointed it out.

You can easily see that it’s true by looking at his posting history. He kept bringing it up totally unprovoked

If he does come back and never brings it up again I’ll leave him alone. If he keeps throwing a hissy fit when people take offense to his ignorant posts, I won’t leave him alone

I don't think it's rubber soul who has to tone it down. I think it's the other way around, it's the guy who attacked rubber soul who has to tune it down a bit. Rubber Soul never said what [said member] accused him of saying. Rubber soul's response was to "didn’t learn" which he said "grow stupider" he never said "gets racist." It's [said member] twisting rubber soul's words around and ramping it up into an argument.

I honestly don't know for sure if this is only a misunderstanding on the part of [said member] or that [said member] is trolling for an argument. But I'm placing my bet it's trolling.

Glad to have extra confirmation that either Nea can’t read or has selective reading that only benefits his point! I’m placing my bet it’s the former.

And in case I’m accused of being the only one that interpreted the above statements in that way:

Fvxking scram u fvcking crybaby. Take your jar of tears with you.

I don't really know rubber soul that well so I guess...either? Idk. Seems like a petty argument tbf. And yes, YorkeDaddy is hitler.
