I agree with this. I think if I were her right now, I'd exit gracefully and consider that maybe I'm not always right, I don't know everything about music and respect other peoples opinions.

There's also what I said about her in that big rant in...Unpopular Music Opinions thread??? She played it off like I was this fuming moron that had no clue at all about the sort of crap she keeps pulling with people here.

You're not that clever, Soulflower. Or clever at all.

I don't want to be mean either, but it is hard to always keep my thoughts to myself about her. As much as I dislike her, I at least have the courtesy to keep things I want to say to her, to myself...mostly.

I agree.

But we shouldn't fool ourselves. We know she won't just bow out. She'll say how wrong we are, how we don't know her and how this is the internet so how could we possibly know her for that matter.

I wouldn't go as far to say she's not clever, I do think she has some knowledge of the music industry but the way she goes about debates is all kinds of wrong. I'm hoping she will learn from this. I also don't want to make this personal. She's not a bad person, it's just her communication needs some work,

I won't argue that she has some knowledge of the music industry. But she plays up what she does know as if she knows more than the rest of us.

She may not be a bad person. But who knows if in her day to day life whether or not she treats people the same way as she does here. If she does, it's a wonder she hasn't found herself slapped across a room. Maybe that's going too far, but whatever.

I would bet money that I could find a song by a nu metal band that you wouldn't hate. I'm not the biggest fan, cannot even say I am a fan at all. But I have a few records I enjoyed enough to not throw the record away.

I think you're misunderstanding something here.
Nobody wants to listen to a nu metal song, least of all one they can't hate.
