Yeah but the point remains you're focusing on a petty point that I threw on as an afterthought and getting all pissy over it despite the fact I later explained it.

And I'd be reacting this way had you posted this about any other band I like. And now you say you don't like the music, even if the lyrics are good. I thought you said your opinion of the lyrics were they were bad? Either way, it's both my and your opinion.

That was a general statement that could've been applied to any band, not specifically Tool. Hence why I never once referred to any specific band.

And Fal, when the Americans overthrew English rule, we threw the Brit's anal retentive style of perfect English out the window. Something I'm sure you noticed as well. Me using or misusing any word, is not relevant in a musical discussion. But if you two are telling me you both don't have the intelligence to understand what I was trying to get across, it was a: metaphor, anallogy, example, reason, something to get my point across. Get it now? I'm sure you did before, but hey, we all need to act like smartasses every once in a while. And that's not personal either. Note the "all".

We understand it just like we understand what is and what isn't a metaphor.
