Music-Discussion.com. Interestingly enough, it's the forum where Big Ears now spends his time.

When approaching this argument without a bias FD is in the right. The threads intent is to express unfiltered opinions on members. To establish rules that prohibit that would completely defeat the point. I would completely agree with FD's side if it wasn't for being so condescending in mocking people who are more sensitive.

Not everybody has your thick skin, and you're right, they shouldn't be in the thread in the first place if they cannot take it. This thread is obviously not just used for shitting on people at this point, though. Mild banter or even positive remarks are common from what I've seen. It has multiple uses then, yes? Maybe a new thread should be made for the mild banter and occasional positive remarks for sharing member opinions, and this thread can be purely for shitting on people with no remorse (which is apparently cathartic, not my cup of tea though.)

I personally think it's better to be mindful that this thread has strayed from its original intent and to not include members who do not want the more extreme side of the negative opinions you have to offer. Some people are just the way they are and it's better to accept that and respect it then take away a thread that may serve a use to someone who enjoys the aspects other than the original intent. This thread seems more laid back than a cathartic shitting session to me and the laid back aspect serves value in existing just as much as cathartic shitting on people. People who want both or one of the other should use their brains to come to an understanding on what is okay and what is not and proceed from there. If you don't agree with each other on what is okay that's perfectly fine. If you continue to shit on someone who has expressed hurt towards the shitting then you're just being a dickwad.

There's nothing wrong with someone who doesn't take negative criticism well. I don't. Yes, they could not read it, but what's the point in even writing something about somebody if they're not gonna read it anyways? Chances are they will since, as I said, this thread isn't just used for shitting on people. You don't need to censor the thread to a certain overall standard, just avoid involving people in this thread in the way it was intended to be used who don't wish to be involved. 9 times out of 10 (a statistic I pulled out of my ass) someone is gonna see it as an insult more than constructive or lighthearted, and if they do then avoid including this person and move on. That isn't censoring your thread. You made your opinion known and the person didn't like it and you've come to a solution. That is a better solution than mocking people who don't meet your standards for an appropriate reaction to a remark that may be lighthearted to you but overly offensive to them. This thread is asking for drama no matter what unless you meet half way and coexist among both the shitting and the dick-sucking.

That's just my opinion, though.

TL;DR: Shitting.
I also probably repeated myself a bunch but I guess that helps solidify my point within your brain.

I'm not letting you forget that, Justin.

Edit: Also like to say that Briks avatar looks like a depressed as **** version of Ben Wyatt from Parks And Rec.

just my honest opinion, not like i give a **** if you let sansa post or not cause i found her irritating a lot of the time tbh.

I'm on a phone so I can't respond to this as thoroughly as I'd like, but very briefly, three responses to your last point. First, I have no idea how much money you have, but it isn't necessarily the case that a Republican government means lower taxes for you. To some extent it's an issue of what's spent where, and if you'd like a tiny bit less spent on the military and a tiny bit more spent on helping those in need, I'd suggest voting for the Democrats. Second, the government has the means to do good far beyond what you do. This isn't to belittle anything you do to help people, but the government has the ability to do things that you simply can't. Third, to this argument about how it isn't real good being done because your heart isn't in it, try telling that to the people (hint: everyone) who are helped by tax revenue. "Well, I would have loved for your kids to have schools that aren't falling apart, for your roads to not be filled with potholes, for you to be able to feed your family, but I thought tax money wouldn't actually make a difference unless my heart was really in it."

Tl;dr: You might have the privilege of saying you don't want to pay taxes because you don't think you do good by paying them, but I'm telling you that none of this is meaningless to the people who are helped.

Of course, all of this assumes that your thoughts on the two parties, which I disagree with, are right, but whatever.

Unless you pay me money.

Vegangelica:
I'm really really intending on getting that mix breakdown for you. I'm sorry for being so late, but it's really REALLY a lot of work! Much more than the mix itself. Anyway, I think your music is pretty good and I'm glad to have an opportunity to be involved with it even on strictly an experimental level.

Vanilla:
You can improve your face by drawing your eyebrows less close together. Let's say, no eyebrows crossing the nose width barrier? Just a thought. Also the red lipstick is a bit much. Otherwise, I miss talking to you. CAN'T IMAGINE WHY YOU DON'T TALK TO ME ANYMORE. lol... Seriously, don't worry, I mean no harm.
I had a long response prepared for this, but given that a) you'd just give me the same sort of non-response you did before and I don't want to fight with you and b) the issue is sort of closed, let me just say this:
Jess (both of them) are the most beautiful creatures with or without makeup, because underneath (as well as outwardly of course) they are shining examples of what it means to be a human being. Also, they're both incredibly hot. :shycouch:
Batlord:
I dunno man, I like you. Fuck off.

Trollheart:
Ah you. You. You're such a darling. Love the effort. You're a boon to this site, but only if you stick to talking about music rather than having opinions about basically anything else. Still, you're grand. Let's have an awkward high-five some day.

Briks:
I remember this one video I saw of you. After that, I basically think you're crazy.

Saw James recently. Glad he's back. Was always a cool kid.

Um, I don't know what else to put here. Fuck off?

Mondo Bungle - Trouble Salad is some good shit dude.

Machine - Machine+'s latest release is pretty sweet man.

Chula Vista - I get the feeling you're a good guitarist but I haven't heard any of your stuff. Also, you seem to be a little click happy on the "new thread" button.

Plankton - Is definitely a G at guitar, I liked your homage to Hagrid especially.

Frownland - You're in one of my favourite bands, you're intelligent, you're funny, you're incredibly attractive, and oh so humble.

I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks I should look like, I am strongly against people mocking women's looks. You are trying to not look like the person who said I look like a tranny but sorry it's too late for that.

nobody gets offended when ladyis--- says she doesn't find batlord sexually appealing (sorry ladyis-- and batlord i'm honestly not trying to throw you under the bus on purpose it's just a useful example). i don't really get the difference between commenting on someone's looks and commenting on their sex appeal in general. it's the same game you're playing at the end of the day.

i guess it really boils down to... women want to have their cake and eat it too. they want their primary value to be sex appeal while still getting to resent that men overlook their other qualities.


personally if a girl doesn't like my looks i won't feel great about it but at the end of the day as long as i can find other ones that i like who like me back i don't care that much tbh. it's not the most important thing to me. i will genuinely get more of a hurt ego if i sense someone way smarter than me condescending me rather than someone condescending my looks cause intelligence is really more important to me at the end of the day. that's just my criteria. everybody has theirs. it just seems like 90% women have looks as their main criteria while pretending not to.

...imo.

Vanilla: Not hot but it would be if you talked more about music.

Mondo Bungle: Poseur.

Lord Larehip: tl;dr but probably some racist undertones in that wall of text.

Pet_Sounds: Canadian.

ebaunation flourished for a little while... now similarly dead

killermovies was even a decent sized forum... now practically a ghost town.

maybe tomorrow i will have the energy to search up some article for you with figures and ****..but i am pretty confident that this is a dying medium.

I disagree with almost every one of his musical opinions and think most of what he listens to is dreadful, but seriously, this place would go dead were it not for his relentless passion, kindness, intelligence, and wit. Never leave, man.
