Can one of you big shots make this happen?

I’ve discovered something since I’ve pledged to be nicer

This place is kill or be killed

Cruelty is rewarded and kindness is punished

MicShazam 07-28-2018 06:39 AM

Nah. I don't agree at all.

Trollheart 07-28-2018 04:40 PM

I think you two should fight.

MicShazam 07-28-2018 04:58 PM

The only people punished are the people who react. Lisna never gets **** like TH. I feel like this place treats you almost entirely around the way you carry yourself.

MicShazam 07-28-2018 08:15 PM

If this place worked like that, I would have left long ago. I'm a person who shies away from conflict and prefers to be kind to others. When I'm rude to anyone in here, it's almost always as a joke.

If OH was right, I'd have been ground into a fine powder by this place long ago.

Could it be that OH is a ridiculously abrasive person and that what goes around comes around? Worth considering, I think.

I find you more rude than I find OccultHawk "ridiculously abrasive." Hawk have his opinions, like them or lump they are his opinions. I think that he is passionate. If he likes something, I notice he really likes something. And the flip side of the coin is that if he dislikes something then he shows the vehemence as when he does like something. That's how he is. If being annoying was an abrasion you would definitely be "ridiculously abrasive." You can be whiny, and petty and often show strange sense of humor.

I think of taste in music analogous to bit-coin, but in a more abstract way. Every positive opinion about good music is equivalent to mining a music-coin. Conversely any negative opinion about good music, and any positive about bad music is a deduction. I don't fault how OccultHawk behaves cause he has acculates vast quanties of music-coins by mining for them - in other words regardless how you fault him, I think he pays his dues around here. In my opinion he leads the forum in music-coins.

Relationships are similar. You gotta keep making small deposits to keep your account solidly solvent for those times when you really **** up and make a huge withdrawal.

You're literally the only person here who seems to nearly always think I'm serious when I'm just playing around. Like that thing in the album club thread where I said that those who had failed to review my album should "flog themselves until they bleed". How on Earth could anyone assume that wasn't a joke?!

But you took offense. And I don't understand.

PS: I ignored the part I colored. Just nonsense.

All jokes aside I appreciate that you have an idiosyncratic music taste that you've developed and refined over years of dedicated music listening. I might not agree with a lot of what you say but I'd rather have someone like you than a pleb with all the "correct" opinions that they've adopted through osmosis.

Basically if you display any personality whatsoever in your posts Nea will think you’re an *******

He’s the most bland, boring, humorless poster I’ve ever seen on any internet forum, and he wants everyone else to be the same way

Frownland 07-31-2018 09:03 AM

Anyone who doesn't recognize Neap's greatness is likely the humourless one tbh.

Everyone always frowns at me for liking cheesy things or not appreciating genre classics, but that's not even what I feel like I'm catching most **** for. It's more how everyone thinks that the non-corny things I like are just plain boring :(

I don't know if I'm being too picky, but I feel like I'm giving things lots of chances and extra chances. And just reacting honestly on things I'm checking out. I don't know if I should talk more about what I like. I don't like being seen as "that guy who hates everything".

I frown at you for your silly expectations. If you want a specific sound, go listen to **** that already fits in there, don't use it as a rubric when discovering new music.

I also frown at you for bitching so often about being frowned at.

I understand that you seem to have an OCD thing where the things that bug you really seem to bug you and you can't let them go, but you also seem unwilling to even try to counter this by keeping an open mind.

Maybe because Frownland's insistence that he knows what's going on in my mind better than I do annoys me so much that I'm just going to be stubborn about it out of spite.

He tends to have that effect on you. Just try to ignore it and remember what you like and don't like. Don't let him stray you.

This is how I was for a while. You try to "fit in" by listening to the music they all think you should be/kissing the musical arses they kiss, but in the end it's wasted effort because they won't accept you any more for even trying. They'll kick you for not trying, and they'll kick you for trying and not getting it. Sometimes they'll even kick you for trying and getting it. Just not worth it. Be yourself, man, and **** the lot of them if they don't like it. That's how I manage to survive here.

That's true, but I don't feel like I'm being unreasonable about, for example, progressive rock. I really am trying to just listen first, then save the reactions for later. If it isn't clicking, then I either need to return again some other time or to check out another band with a different sound. I don't think I can suddenly appreciate Yes just by thinking about their music differently, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Nah it's fine. Just because I sometimes want to beat him over the head with a shovel, it doesn't mean I have anything against him.

Knowing what other people find valuable about the group and that your gripes aren't really the focus of the music can certainly help though.

Yeah I figured as much. My fame has not (yet) spread far enough for a meme to be circulating about me. :( That's when you know you've really arrived.

The annoying thing about you (well, one of the many thousands of annoying things about you) is that you give people all this **** for not "getting" certain music but refuse point-blank to afford them the same courtesy. Case in point: my Prefab Sprout album in the Album Club, which you dismissed after I think two tracks with the pithy comment "I don't need these white boy blues" or some other ignorant comment. So how are you any better than Mic, or me, or anyone else who doesn't give the music you think is important the chance you believe it deserves? Pot/kettle and all that.
