Wow this was from forever ago, but thanks I really appreciate that! It always makes me happy to share music and it makes me even happier when people enjoy it.

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.

I remember when I signed up, I thought the lack of elitism compared to other forums I then frequented was refreshing.

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.

Couldn't agree more.
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!

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!

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.

Hey man, I was just pullin' your leg about being a pedo and paying attention to women and such. I like you man, your posts are well thought out and well constructed. 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.
