Yeah, there's those people.
I was talking more about people who'd been here
longer than an overnight stay at the Promo Hotel.

Then no. I mean there was one guy who made like 10 exceedingly racist rap=crap threads who got banned and there have been loads of people who were banned for over-the-top behaviour in music discussions, but we don't really have rules that would ban someone for music-related reasons.

Rap = crap
Rock = cock
Electro = elecno
Jazz = a sock

Yeah. Just wondering if people would just leave it to the "music" part
(like so many other music forums do), then we would be having less
people having to defend/accuse other folks and their social stances.

It's not like people can't think of ways of being dicks about music.

We have a lot of...noble members. There will always be something to defend.

That's true ... if you're dickish.

Just noticed the long, exhausting message from Merit
and my mind was saying, "Where's the music?"
So, I thought I'd ask. I don't see this crap on other
music forums I've been a part of. One jazz forum cut their
"politics/religion" years ago and it's been a whole lot better
with actual focus on music ... and a favorite that I go to
regularly has so much new modern music to talk about that
I have no idea what they think socially/politically about
practically anything. It's pretty glorious.

Windsock, you just don't understand.

Merit has said misogynistic and homophobic **** for years. He's gotten the reputation of using personal insults and attacking people over debates rather than debating. This history builds the context to why he got banned, why we call him a bigot, etc.

This despicable persona he's built is the reason why people pick on him. Because people like seeing despicable people get pissed off. It's entertaining. That's also why the moderators have a double standard whether they realize it or not. Why people can say **** about his son or insult him for hours but the moment HE says something they all of a sudden enforce rules. That's politics though. You can't escape biased moderation. In this case, at least the bias wasn't petty.

Most of the rest is playful banter, except when they let Bat or OH do that thing where they look for a loose thread to pull so they can watch people unravel.





The complaint, WWWP, isn't that they want strict moderation, it's that they want FAIR moderation. You know that wasn't a luxury given to merit.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

I'm totally not insinuating that many MB members like to be dicks. I would never do such a thing.

I never really saw Merit talk about music. But this forum in general is a bit heavy on the lounge drama. I've pointed that out before, but I'm free to leave and join a better forum if I wanted to I guess. Anyway, I think what I wanna do now is actually post some music.
