So whenever an artist makes music without the big three in mind or as is more often the case you fail to recognize those elements, you write them off as not music. You don't have to take it as far as I do but still, you should rename the not music category as 'music I don't like'.

As big fans of not music, me and ninetales are just as valid in our opinion as you are.

IMO your opinion is just as ignorant as this (satiric) opinion.
No, actually. It's just as ignorant of you to tell me that my opinion is close-minded, when you know that I'm not like that. Anyway the probelm I have with Ninetales is not that he does not agree with me --- he's entitled to that. It's his contention that my opinion does not count. It's the nasty slur he's directing at me. I know he probably doesn't mean to be nasty, but he is. If I don't think someone running ten photocopiers at once onstage is music, then I'm close-minded, am I? Would you prefer I pretended to like things I don't like, or just run along with the crowd? At least I'm being honest.

And I'll state one more time before I leave this: my opinion is MINE. It is NOT for ANYONE to call it shitty; you can disagree with me, say I think you're wrong etc but to use that sort of childish language is beneath anyone, and I'm annoyed at it. Nobody has a right to tell me my opinion is shitty. My opinion is mine; just because it doesn't chime with yours, his, or anyone else's does not make it wrong.

Now leave me alone: I have metal reviews to write...
