Repeat this with me

I-M-A-G-E-R-Y NOT M-E-T-A-P-H-O-R

Christ its closer to allegory then metaphor, as I said before wait until you've done more than fourth grade english please. All you really know is about periods and punctuations, stick to that. Its imagery, simple as that.

I get what you're saying but I'm saying it seems like he's trying to say something a little deeper than I went into the backyard to cool down.

Oh my god, lay off him. If he's "just in seventh grade" that doesn't justify saying he's as dumb as a fourth grader because he doesn't know what a metaphor is, which I think he might. I mean, sometimes when I read these types of posts I wonder if your incentive is to be productive, or start an argument. Why you would want to start an argument, I don't know. But you act fifteen, I hope your not thirty for your maturities sake.
Maybe it's just arrogance.

Ethan's post there is two years old, back when ethan was a total douche who loved slipknot. Back then ethan loved all kinds of shitty metal and as such was a shitty poster.

So yeah, a bit late there tbh.
