I am insulted that my name was not bolded. How dare you, I will rain 1000 rainy days upon you.

Since I forgot to, I'd also like to add to the love list:

Anteater - Fantastic taste in music, and very open to discussion. I honestly feel is another underrated member of the forum, and his repertoire of understanding the actual good side of Japanese music impresses me.

Eric Generic - He's the man for hunting down a ****load of 'Bob Drake', and sending it to me. Just for the effort, he deserves an extra nod, and ten million awesome points.

It's high time I do another one of these.
It will probably piss some people off.

s_k - Sometimes I actually think you want to be helpful and nice to others simply out of the goodness of your own heart, but more often than not, I think you do it because of how you think it reflects on you. This is supported by the fact that at any given opportunity, you manage to make absolutely every fucking conversation you have about anything... about YOU. I think you revel in self-attention, and even though you're not exactly the stereotypical attention-starved individual, it's blatantly obvious that you enjoy nothing more than talking about yourself and padding your ego wherever possible. When you can't, you find ways to make the information you're offering relative to your personal opinion. In fact, when you read this, you will reply to it in a way that proves everything I have just said. You absolutely cannot stand it when people think negatively of you, and you'll do everything in your power to change that, which is extremely unrealistic, and pointless. You also claim that you have Autism, which I'm not contesting, but you most certainly seem to love using it as justification for your mistakes, and parading it around with the expectation that any time you're wrong, we'll pat you on the back and say "oh that poor, poor guy... if it weren't for his 'disability', he'd be absolutely perfect!"....

The truth is, you're just too socially functional for us to let you off that easily. When you fuck up, we don't blame the Autism... You're the only one.

djchameleon - To me, you come off as some cheap knock-off Hallmark card Encyclopedia of shallow, meaningless anecdotes designed only for the purpose of validating your worth to the forum. I do think you mean well, and you're not self-centered, but you simply say thinks for the sake of saying them without any regard for substance. And that's not even the worst part. Your incessant need to assert this hyper-dominant 'male' stereotype about yourself speaks to a glaring inadequacy as a male that I believe you are terrified of people realizing. It might even stem from the fact that your voice sounds ANYTHING but 'dominant male', and you might have a long history of animosity towards that fact, which results in your need to compensate wherever possible. It's like the classic "little guy in a big truck" syndrome, or more classically, the Napoleon syndrome... only in a different context. I think in reality, you're about as manly as a female kitten, and I think you feel the same way... and in an internet forum, you have a chance to combat it with over-the-top references to what manly guys might identify with. The fact that you go over-the-top with this really confirms that.

With all that said, I don't dislike you. I push your buttons because they need to be pushed. The real you needs to come out of the closet (not a gay joke) and not worry about what everyone else will think. I think that if you were more true to yourself, then you'd have a lot more to offer.

Dirty - I just wanted to include you because my opinions of you have changed. When you first came here, I thought you were a bit trollish and illogical, but the more I've read your posts, the more I've come to realize that you're pretty much the antithesis of djchameleon in the fact that you bare your opinions with absolutely 100 percent conviction and without regard for how they make you look. That makes the things you say worth reading, in my opinion, because you don't tailor your perspective to others.

holly984 - Sometimes, you make me hate the multi-quote button.

Vanilla - I love ya, but sometimes you have the decision-making skills of a newborn bird. I gotta say, though, that you're doing better as a mod than I thought you would. I love that you're fired up for the job. Being here as long as you have, it seems an unlikely trait, but you obviously have a huge part of yourself invested in this forum and it shows in your attitude toward maintaining it. I've come to realize that you're a perfect fit, and you excel where some of us don't, and vice-versa.

I guess that's it for now. I have lost steam.

It's harsh, but it had to be said. I agree with almost everything you said in this post. I'm not huge on calling people out on their shortcomings, but you did a very good job at being brutally honest yet extremely professional while voicing your opinions.

This is probably the most genuine post this thread has ever and may ever see. Most peoples posts are just mindless ego stroking of people who post about how great all their forum friends are. This thread is about spilling guts, and saying things you normally wouldn't, as far as I'm concerned, almost all those type of posts are the online forum equivelent of a support group.

Although, in Freebase Dali's case, his comment could be interpreted as constructive criticism. Maybe a "wake up call" to a few of the people whom he listed (even if I disagree with some of the points he made).

Swing and a miss! You are completely off base and people that have talked to me outside of MB knows me more than you do because you haven't. You are a select few other characters around MB believe everything I said 100% and don't get my brand of humor. Sure, it's not laughy ha ha type of humor but it's the same humor that I use on a daily basis in RL and everyone gets "it". I'm not going to change my style of humor for the slower people that aren't able to get it.

At the end of the day it's just your opinion and you will believe whatever you want to and I really don't care. I'm not going to lose sleep at night because of what others on an online forum think of me.

dj chameleon: I've always thought he was a pretty nice guy, just not one I talk to much. Lately, though, I keep seeing him putting any criticism whatsoever (and there's been a decent amount) down to people "not getting" his sense of humor. I guess I'm one of those people, because his posts have never struck me as any more witty than most of the members on this site. I don't think every single complaint leveled toward him is really a fault of the person not getting a joke.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I'm stuck between wondering whether you just have a really bad sense of humor, or you call things you say, "a joke" when you realize that people regard them as idiotic...

2. If you actually think people are "slower" because they don't know what you're on about when you make moronic "jokes" that, in every sense of the definition, do not qualify as jokes, then I believe you have misplaced the blame... If you would rather say that you have a completely different way of thinking from normal people, that would be more accurate, although I don't think I'd venture to say that it's a step up.

3. You obviously do care, to an extent, otherwise you would not have come here to "set the record straight". I don't believe for one minute that you're unaffected by what people here think about you. I also don't believe that any other intelligent person on these boards would disagree. What you have to understand is we ALL care to an extent. It's not a negative thing. You don't have to put up an air of nonchalance. If you didn't care about this place or the opinions of the members populating it, you wouldn't be here... nor would you have been here for as long as you have. You're hiding behind a glass wall, bro.

4. If I'm completely off, and know absolutely nothing about your character, then why are you trying to be someone else on the internet? Because all I see is what you give me.

I say that people are "slower" because for as long as I have been using the same type of humor for them to not pick up on the fact that everything I say isn't 100% true then I don't know what to tell you.

Yes, I care because I feel the need to respond to every little thing that is said about me on the internet and I go to bed crying over everything that is said because it hurts me oh so deepily.

So you obviously realize that since we haven't known you for ages, we won't get your "jokes" (which coincidentally appear identical to any statement you make). The fact that you employ them anyway, without tailoring them to the people you're telling them to, seems rather strange. Personally, I think you use the ambiguity of your "jokes" as a readied excuse for moronic statements. Unfortunately for you, we're not as "slow" as you think we are.

This is the kind of reply that makes me think less of you. I guess we're supposed to see it as a "joke". I think I'm getting the hang of this... everything you say is potentially a joke. Got it. This will work wonders for your credibility...

As long as you're sitting here portraying what you've been portraying, it's inevitable that we'll think of you in the way you're presenting yourself. If you don't care about that, fine, but as I've said before, I think you'd have a lot more to offer if you were honest. I don't think anyone here, including yourself, would benefit from labeling djchameleon as a bad joke... unless that's what you really are.

This sums up everything you have said over the last few pages.

You actually think I care what you and others think of me as far "credibility".

I'm done with this exchange with you.

You guys can use me as a scapegoat all you want.

I see exactly what you are doing and that's fine.

I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing or change who I am for you or anyone else.

Honestly, djchameleon, I've never interacted with you personally, to get a handle on your personality type, but what I do see from your posts, are your tastes. And, well, quite frankly, you have horrible tastes. Definitely not up to par with musicbanter standards that I've grown accustomed to, and quite frankly love, since I can always depend on members to post something amazing. This post may come off as elitist, but I'm not trying to be, and everyone seems to think you're a good person, so for that reason, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But from a completely objective point of view, from what I've seen from just your posts, I do dislike your tastes.

There are a few members I've always been fond of, Janszoon being one of them. Terrific guy, and I love your sense of humour. Always a pleasure to read your posts.

Canwllcorfe and charlemagne have some of my favourite tastes on the forum. Everytime I read a post of you guys about music it's like a new recommendation indirected at me. The amount of music I get from you guys, it's crazy, lol. Thank you posting as regularly as you do, I appreciate it :)

I wish I could do more people, but I have to be off to school! Lol

It used to piss me off but I got over that. We just have different tastes and I'm fine with that. If I was all elitist and into judging people by their taste from my point of view, I would say you have horrible taste but who am I to judge what you like to listen to. That's not my place so I won't.

I wasn't aware that MusicBanter had "taste" standards. Maybe they should put that into the new member guidelines somewhere so that newbies don't get eaten alive and ripped apart for not meeting these standards.

No problem! :D I'm glad I could help. It's nice to have somebody appreciate my taste. Most of my friends just call it "weird" and that's about it. They just don't understand. :( I intend on updating my journal once I get all my college work finished up.

djchameleon: overall a decent guy, but your taste is atrocious. I also don't like how you're always going on about my pretentious taste in music and whatever and how maybe I should get into pop music. I think you might actually be jealous of my musical taste.

Really? I joined this site with the assumption there were a ton of music snobs around who could point me in the direction of some awesome music. Of course we have taste standards. I kind of thought everyone assumed this. Otherwise, we would have a giant disclaimer at the top of the home page going, "WARNING: This site is frequented by a bunch of music elitists. We will make fun of your taste in music".

The average person that just wants to come to a music forum to talk about the music and artists they listen to are NOT going to just assume that there are a bunch of music elitists on the boards that will slam their taste and shame them for it. Yes if you are a veteran with dealing with music boards of course you'll know that but the average joe, everyday person that found MB through google looking to talk about artists/bands that they currently like isn't going to be well versed in the world of music forums.

I'm saying this to benefit you, at the end of the day you will be the one giddy with excitement from discovering a new band etc and that you joining mb was more than just a SOCIAL PLATFORM.

I remember when I first started actively posting, I caught some flak from the more blunt members (Paloma, Stunt, James) about my taste, but in general I think this forum does really well at not being too elitist to the point where it's intimidating and unwelcoming.

I agree with this. Also, even if people are elitist about taste, it pays off cause then you can be elitist to your real life friends. Or just have better taste.

Exactly. It is certainly not a run of the mill mainstream forum where people just talk about whatever is hanging around the top 40 or whatever but neither is it (generally) the sort of place where 8 out of 10 people listen to obscure music all the time and claim elitism over those who haven't heard those artists.

I think many members are here to promote or hear about lesser known bands but they are also upfront about listening to some mainstream music too.

Hm, I dunno guys.
There's a lot of negativism against me, lately.
Even the people who seemed to like me in the beginning, start to turn their backs on me.
I'm not sure what goes wrong, but people have a very wrong idea about me.

I'm afraid it's time to go. I'm very sorry, but I didn't feel like coming back so much the last couple of days and reading the stuff Freebase Dali says (I thought he thought I was quite allright), well to be honest it hurts like hell to be so misunderstood.

I do like you man, I don't ignore your posts or anything. If you feel like you're misunderstood and are unhappy, then maybe you should take a break like I did. Do whatever will make you feel better and I will respect whatever you decide to do.

Perhaps it was because I didn't fully understand where you were coming from, or perhaps it's because I'm a woman. I don't know. I just think it's kind of crazy and even a little bit sexist to entirely disregard women who make music or play instruments, or whatever. You are, however, allowed to have an opinion. I'll just leave it at that.

I'm sorry you don't feel welcome here any more. I hope you don't go away forever.

I think you'd do very well here if you focused more on your quality contributions (which we all appreciate) and whatever else you take away from this place musically... and less on whether everyone considers you a saint. The fact that you're getting negative feedback at all is probably a direct result of that tendency.

I will take this time to tell you the genres of music that I listened to before arrive and the few genres that I have discovered and started to like here. I don't post about every genre that I like/listen to

Ready?

I listen to Nu Metal, Indie Rock, Noise Rock, Symphonic Metal, Jazz, Classical, Soul, Funk, DubStep, Trance but those last two I got into more from hanging around MusicBanter. Black Eyed Peas actually got me interested in learning more about Electronica. I saw a void missing that there wasn't any education threads about Electronica, so I made one by collecting all the information about different sub genres. I had Freebase to help me out as well as CnwllCaffe hmm spelled his name wrong but yeah, he knows I'm talking about him.

Punk is a genre that I wanted to try to get into more that's why I joined James' punk club but that has come to a slow grind/halt.

I also listen to pop country and soundtracks to different movies.

After all these years you know NOTHING about my taste in music because you choose not to either talk to me and find out or you've never paid attention the threads I have posted in.

You do not seem unwelcome here by any standards that I have seen. Perhaps some time off is necessary, to regroup from this negativity you are perceiving.

s_k	05-06-2011 05:26 PM

Well allright, I might cause some trouble here but I'm going to say it anyhow.
I just got some really very nice PM's from three different persons in no time. I was amazed by that because I am in fact a very pessimistic person and the negative stuff weighs so much heavier on me.

Listen Freebase. This topic is called spill your guts and for the first time I am actually going to say what I think right now.

The reason I cannot keep a job is because there's always one or another shallow guy like you amongst the team of bosses who cannot accept me for what I am, cannot see my good sides but just the bad sides. Who cannot just say 'Stijn is who Stijn is, we should learn to live with hem'. All they see is 'he's different, he's weird'.

The whole reason I cannot keep a job is because at any job there's at least one person who cannot or does not want to understand me. This ****s up my jobs. I'm not saying I'm an easy one to live with, but I sure as hell can tell you that the reason stuff goes wrong for me usually depends on one person who, for a reason they often don't even understand themselves, rather see me gone.

I might be the one who differs, but it's still ****ing society that's making it impossible for me to have a proper job, not me.

So, Freebase. Long story short; You are apparently not able to see through my somewhat strange appearance. Well that's fine. I cannot help that and neither can you. But you haven't got a clue what you're talking about and you probably really should keep your mouth shut as you're only making it hard for me here, even though you could just not read my postings or whatever. It's not like I've ever done anything to annoy you in particular or something.

And sure as hell I cannot stand when people think negatively about me.
How do you think my life has been so far? Don't you think I've had quite enough negativity? You bet your ass I've had enough of that.

So ffs if you don't like me ****ing ignore me or just tell me to **** off if you don't like me. But stop analyzing my personality because you don't know **** about what I was like, how I've become and what I've went through so far.

@ Burning Down: I don't like the sound of most female voices just like I don't like the sound of most church organs. That's all. It's a musical thing, nothing sexist so if that's all you're bothered about, I suggest you quickly forget this. I love women. I prefer them to men in almost every way and I don't mean that sexist, again.

@ Freebases latest addition: I'm may not be here to be liked, but I'm definitely not here to be disliked or to be treated unfriendly.

@ Loose Lips: Dude, not you. Really not you.

@ Pedestrian: There's nothing indicative about me being hurt. How would you feel if you had to fight a handicap for your entire life, and then have people telling you you're taking advantage of it?
And I'm not going to take time off, I'm going to stay or go. The only reason I haven't gone yet is that I got these nice PM's. I really already had written my farewell posting. I think I still will though. Freebase is very very wrong and he already got quite some support. So I don't think this is the place for me.

What attracted me to this forum was the lack of mainstream taste without an obvious elitist overtone.
I enjoyed coming here because at the time the site was populated with individuals who shared an interest in a wide choice of music.
I was always impressed especially by some of the younger members who showed great knowledge and appreciation for music that quite clearly didn't belong to their generation.
A trait this site still has but not as evident as say 5 years ago.

I was going to make a long list of what it is I think of MB members, but then I realised I'd probably only include the members who've been here for years due to the fact that the personalities of the latest batch are below my radar as I don't pay as much notice to this place as I once did.

It would serve me better would I spill my guts about what I thought about MB today compared to how it used to be.

But then I'd have to leave!

Meh, everyone just wants to be the center of attention. If you want to be the talk of the town, you have to be interacting with everyone here constantly, otherwise you won't get mentioned on threads like this.

Hell, I should know: I've been mentioned maybe once or twice at most in the last 25 pages, so I know what happens when you aren't constantly doing stuff here. :P

Probably the same with myself but do you think it's an age thing where you have a slight case of egotism (warranted or not)?

I certainly do. You can't help but feel this way. Just like your dad turned around to you at 15 and said- u don't know **** son.

I thought he was talking bollocks but of course he was right and I feel like that with the forum but it is probably me who has changed and not the people frequenting it.

That doesn't excuse the sheer amount of tools I have come across on MB though!
