well ok then. uh heres my response to everything in this thread probably

- my sweater/veggie analogies weren't meant as parallels to music, but rather to show that just because you say "well it's my opinion" is a poor defense. Go back to my guitar "opinion" if you want a clearer cut example. (So with DwnWthVwls' example, no I dont think a shit shirt is a piece of clothing as the definition is more strict in terms of what its made of)

- I was not "dissing" Trollheart personally, just "dissing" his opinion. There is absolutely a difference between the two. So it's not like I suddenly don't respect you or something; I still do. Ok good, now let's stop using the word dissing plz&thx.

- Now I have conceded that there are grey areas with respect to what music is, but that doesn't mean everything is in that grey area. One could make a pretty strong argument that field recordings aren't music, but saying "Grindcore is not music" is just plain wrong. Yes, I get you keep saying to me, but it doesn't change the fact that it is music. It's exactly like me saying "to me the Beatles aren't music" which is stupid and completely wrong. Just like saying baseball isn't a sport is wrong. I don't care if you say "well to me it's not". You're wrong either way. to me, right?

- I never said anything close to this. Express your opinions all you want, but dont expect me not to call out the bad ones. Oddly enough a fascist regime would be more against people calling out other's opinions, don't ya think

Ok so we can't tell Hitler that his views were wrong. gotcha.

heh ok then.

I think that's everything phew what a thread
