I know he probably doesn't mean to be nasty, but he is. If I don't think someone running ten photocopiers at once onstage is music, then I'm close-minded, am I? Would you prefer I pretended to like things I don't like, or just run along with the crowd? At least I'm being honest.

And I'll state one more time before I leave this: my opinion is MINE. It is NOT for ANYONE to call it shitty; you can disagree with me, say I think you're wrong etc but to use that sort of childish language is beneath anyone, and I'm annoyed at it. Nobody has a right to tell me my opinion is shitty. My opinion is mine; just because it doesn't chime with yours, his, or anyone else's does not make it wrong.

Now leave me alone: I have metal reviews to write...
I agree with this entire post.

I don't think people should be forced or bullied into expressing an opinion just to please others.

Whether someone thinks it is close minded or not, it is still YOUR opinion what you consider to be as music or what you consider not to be music.

Just my 2 cents.

Your opinion of his opinion relies solely on your personal perception of the matter. It is NOT fact, it is OPINION.

Yeah, that was a bit rude, and condescending... IMHO.

Good analogy but what if the turtleneck was made out of dog sh*t? Is it still clothing?

I like the Douglas Adams quote a lot btw, and completely agree with it.

And I think arbitrarily calling Grindcore not music is rude and condescending.
