Why can't you use the quote button? :D

Honestly, you made a mountain out of a molehill. I'm glad you're taking the initiative to put an end to it.

You want to get Dig Your Own Hole :thumb:

There's plenty more where that came from hun. :)

:banghead: I was on my mobile. Damn thing is so iffy with the touch screen I just said screw it.

I'm going to get Yac to change Franco Pepe Kalle name to Olivia Newton John.

kiekiekiekiekie, Fetcher, Trollheart, and Lisaoholinc, you sound like trolls. I am sorry but you sound like trolls. So you are the same guys that accuse of being so inconsistent on everything but when I am consist on one thing, you get so mad. Trollheart, and Fetcher, I never asked you to like Olivia Newton John at all. I never have and I have no intention to do so. Heck none of my family members like much of her anyway. Yet, they are fine because I never ASK THEM TO LIKE HER ANYWAY. Understand. I am not restricted to just her. I just found out that I like Olivia Newton John more than anyone else. I have come to that reality. I am a musical freak in general but I found out that she is my most favorite. That is why I call myself Olivia Newton John.

Fetcher, I never knew that you even considered thinking of hearing OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN in the first place. I would never even ask you to listen to her. You should want to hear her not because of me but her songs themselves. I am a young man and that woman is still on this earth and her music lives on. Fetcher, you never said anything of hearing Olivia Newton John. Trollheart, you have a point and I try not to be nutty but I fanatic of theirs. I am sorry Trollheart, I sometimes get too excited about her sometimes. Lisalonic, look I get it maybe I like them too much but you should be happy that at least on this one, I mean what I say. I am sincere on everything I said about her.

Fetcher, you don't have to like her to make me happy. I just you to be you. Heck I know someone who is hardcore Skillet fan and he talks about them way too much but I respect that person because he means what he says.

Fetcher, give some of your some favorite artists on PM. I will give them a try. I know they will likely be rock folks.

Fetcher, Trollheart, you think my music only haves OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN. Check my thread, it has more of others than Olivia Newton John.
ONJ's favorite Oliva Newton John

wolverinewolfweiselpigeon - Should get a job as an impersonator.

Excuse me, I'm an inarticulate Geology major! Please be more sensitive to my plight, as my cross to bear is made of rock* and is really freakin' heavy.

*I'm leaning towards an ultramafic basalt, but I'll have to calculate the color index again just to be sure...

I actually love when you do these posts :laughing:


Didn't you do one about bald chicks haha?

Hahaha, I actually am a music major... inarticulate about some aspects of music (i.e. hip hop and rap) but pretty articulate about others (classical, jazz, rock). I've been playing flute for quite a long time too, so I know lots of music that features it inside and out :D

Fuck that, vote for Azaña! Death to the Nationalists!

:laughing:

Well I am sure that you have made alot of new friends here now. :rolleyes:

We don't have Majors and Minors in the UK, but I've my degree in basically the exact opposite of what BD has hers in :P

It was about forearms. :D But it was based on BooBoo's bald women thread.

Dentistry?

OK I admit to the inarticulate, but it was the very inarticulation that was the main reason why I was so drawn to music when young, because it a way of communication without word speak other people did so good.:(

Yeah I think they call them "Ionian" and "Aeolian" over there.

Har har.

Popular music instead of classical :)

I didn't even know they had degrees in such a thing. I've only taken the course on pop music as part of my program. I'm in music education now but yeah, the main focus of study is classical and opera, and some musical theatre.

I'm gonna have to agree with this, I also want to say that those of you wankbags who are bullying him must feel like real badasses, shit talking someone who is autistic. What a bunch of douchelords.

FPK - a clarification
 

When FPK made this gratuitous comment, a handful of posters (myself included) pointed out that, if anything, they had heard more than enough about the musicians Franco and Pepe Kalle:-

In a flurry of pro- and contra-FPK posts, it became clear that FPK wasn´t really debating or defending his original comment, and so this thread thankfully moved on to other things.

Occassionally, something of value turns up in the most unappealing of places and here, buried under a pile of invective, is a piece of pertinent information. That FPK is autistic is certainly news to me, as it may well be for other posters. If that´s the case, I suspect that we´re all happy to cut him some slack.

Thank you, Herm. Someone really needed to put that out there. It's actually quite disheartening for me to watch someone who has a serious development disorder being trashed because of the way he communicates.

[I apologise if finding wolf's post funny seemed like a stab at you, it really wasn't intended that way, but it was inconsiderate of me not taking the situation into account].

I've gotta give it to Franco, no matter how much **** people spit at the way you are, you still are able to hold your ground.

Well i havnt been here long but iv been readin and typing in some threads and think i may enjoy the community here! minus all you nut cases lol :P

Gotta agree with Hermione et al. Very disturbing stuff on this site at times from the apparent "sensible" ones.

It's all very well members on here defending him because of his autistic nature and his social difficulties, and in turn cutting him some slack because of this condition. But ever since he's been a member on here, he's been extremely consistent at getting on people's nerves and if he's rational enough to do this, then he's rational enough to know what he's doing. As it's not like he's randomly stating opinions either, he has a clear line on what he's doing and keeps on doing it because he knows he'll get a reaction.

Autistic people have social issues in society, but internet contact on a forum doesn't hold the same social value, as physically being face to face with somebody. For that reason alone, I personally think FPK is fully aware of what he's upto and plays the autisitic card to defend himself.

This. Autism is an extremely varied condition and comes in many forms which doesn't necessarily need to be a social problem. I never knew he was autistic and my opinion of him doesn't change.


He's annoying as ****, autistic or not.

Maybe he's normal in society (hard to believe I know but possible) and just becomes autistic on music banter.

That last bit, my cousin is autistic and it definitely comes across on the internet, maybe not as much as in real life but it's definitely there.

As for Franco, I really like the guy, I said before he's the funniest poster on here and I enjoy the African music he posts. I don't think I have seen him say anything mean on here before. That last sentence is a bit weird, I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt (must say I didn't realise he was autistic), at worst that sentence is quite vicious whereas at he at worst is just a guy who annoys people on the internet. You could just ignore his posts.

I didn't know FKP was autistic. This comes as a suprise to me. Some of the things he says I wouldn't suspect would come from an autistic person. If anyone thinks that calling hhbh and FKP "the Dynamic Duo of Irony" was somehow offensive to both and that I picking deliberately them is way off base. I was only trying to give FPK (and hhbh) advice in jesting manner that would not sound too preachy. Things like not to talk about certain entetainers too often and not to imply others are "trolls" etc. It would really be ironic if people that I was teasing someone I would looking out for. I really don't understand hhbh and FKP, still I don't like to see people picking on either them too.

So then: firstly, like many here it would seem, I did not know that he was autistic. I'm not sure where that was mentioned, but even so, the criticism levelled at him is in my mind justified. He IS single-minded and myopic about these two artistes --- he shoehorns references about them into everything he talks about, no matter the subject (which led to my admittedly but unintentionally tasteless comment about Howard, God rest his smutty soul) --- and people are tired of it. Kay was the first to blow up over this and I just expanded on her annoyance. I may have taken it too far, but I don't think there was anything nasty in what I said, which makes me wonder why Hermione is again attacking everyone.

Some people did not know. Had I known, would I have said what I did? Probably. I have two nephews who are autistic, but I don't think it gives you a free pass. As US says, FPK seems to know what he's doing so it's not like he can't control what he says. Does he do it to annoy people/be controversial? Well, he's compared himself to HHBH so you would have to wonder. I don't take anything back I said: I do apologise if it offended him but don't see how it could have, save for the Howard reference.

I think however some people should climb down off their soap boxes: everyone's entitled to say what they think (isn't that what this thread is all about?) and nobody should have to apologise for speaking their mind. FPK has been at this for months now, it was only a matter of time before someone snapped and said something. Then the dividing line appeared and people chose their side. So I guess ironically if FPK wanted controversy he got it, if he wanted to be the centre of attention that's what happened.

I'm the most sympathetic and understanding person you could meet, but even I have my limits. I snapped. If I caused offence I apologise, as I never mean or want to do that, but I think this defence/attack has now got a little out of hand, and we should all just move on to other things.

He's only autistic because he told me so on a previous post some time back. Up until then he'd made a name for himself as an annoying narrow-minded ass, who used to just post mostly in the lounge to get up people's noses, especially on topics he knew would get a reaction. Now he's revealed that he's autistic (we've only his word for that) and that now means everybody should go easy on him when he starts up on one of his rants. I don't discriminate and believe everybody should be treated the same way. I don't see why FPK should be treated any different when he's actually fully aware on what he's doing.

If I was to make offensive, narrow-minded or constantly annoying opinions on the forum, I'd expect to be challenged on them, I don't see why FPK should be exempt from this.

Pathetic that anyone gets annoyed enough about what another seemingly innocent poster says to the point that they would start abusing them/making fun or generally mocking them. Grow up yeah.

The problem I have with him as it's probably the same with most, is that he can't coherently put together a sentence when talking about himself, but once he's targeted, his sentences are in of what a senior in high school would write. I apologize if he is really autistic, but it can't be coincidence that when he's defending himself, his sentences are perfect, but when he isn't targeted, he writes like a five year old.

I don't know if he is or he isn't tbh, was just pointing out that it comes across on the internet and that accusing him of playing the autistic card is a bit on top. I've not seen him mention it and it seems others haven't either. He does mention those artists regularly but like someone else said I hardly see him post.

Who gives a ****? I skip over 75% of his posts because I find them to be rambling and nonsensical anyways.

Better than taking shots at him every chance I can find like Unknown Soldier does. Bro I think you're an otherwise good poster, but your obsessive hatred of this guy is just weird.

Yeah so writing one sentence defending someone is attacking everyone, as opposed to your long, drawn out, self righteous paragraphs.

You need to take a stadium of seats, kid.

Talking about the same two people in every possible situation in every possible post for months on end despite being told many, many times by many, many people that it annoys them to no end?

That's beyond the scope of autism unless FPK is an extreme, EXTREME case and is completely unable to comprehend or respond to DIRECT criticism of his actions.

Alternatively, he knows exactly what he's doing.


Personally, I don't think either of the above are the kind of thing that should give FPK a free pass to shoehorn those two into every conversation ever. SOMETHING needed to be said and now it has.
