The point is, You are close minded, and you've been attacking my pick on the fact you just plain don't understand it. I'm bringing up fairly coherent arguments, and you keep arguing back with sarcasm, etc.
This is worse than your ridiculously off-topic tirade in the 'pre-WWII Avant-Garde Composer' thread. It's obvious you don't like, get, or understand experimental music.
However, your obsession with attacking it, and not being able to back up your opinion
with points, or even a decently respectful understanding of what others are saying, does nothing but bother me.
If you think Haino sucks, fine. But, don't bring it up, unless you can back it up with some semblance of logic not just:

I am not grasping for straws. I was quoting the other thread to support my reasoning for calling you an elitist. I am not close minded. Isn't assuming that someone is close minded a rather close minded assumption? You don't know me or my mind and saying that it is "closed" suggests that you do know my mind, which you don't. And that is being close minded on your part. Maybe if you would open your mind a little you would see that my distaste for Haino doesn't make me closed minded.
Why do I need to back up my opinion? If someone doesn't like a type of music, that's fine. There's no need to back it, It's a matter of personal preference. I clearly did understand what you were saying when I said "I hear what you're saying. He is going beyond the conventions of music." Saying that Haino sucks is no different than you saying that Bob Dylan was highly overrated and was a mediocre lyricist. You didn't say anything to support that opinion other than "Everything he did was folk norm." Which is absolutely wrong. Do you not see the hypocrisy in that?
