A) Nobody's making fun of me. I'm being attacked because I took a stand that is unpopular. It's called bullying, is childish and immature, and again, the norm around here it seems. I can't be "wrong" because there are two sides to every debate, every issue, every discussion. Just because you disagree with me doesn't make me "wrong"- it makes you shallow for failing to consider other points of view. Some here have no clue how to "discuss" topics.
B) MY issue with the very first response was not the dissenting opinion but the manner in which it was given- Instead of presenting a logical set of ideas and theories, what was given was a silly, childish f-bomb attack on me. Just for proposing a discussion topic- one that I did NOT take a stand on initially, but was hoping to stimulate discussion on both sides of the equation. I presented experiences, some ideas, and got a f-bomb aimed at me. Awesome!!
C) "prominent members"- wow, what a high opinion you have of yourself- as if you are something special for hanging out on a internet website, cursing and acting like spoiled children instead of actually interacting like adults. LOL, prominent like a baboons ass.
D) Didn't overlook that you were trying to help. You didn't. Came off as being chastised- for, IMO, doing nothing wrong.
E) Holy cow, you guys don't like me? Man, that's going to dump my life right in the trash bin! How will I ever get over this? Anonymous members of a silly website don't agree with my opinion and then pigpile on me, attacking me because that's what they do for kicks, try to offend me but fail miserably because I don't care about any of them- I don't know them, I'm not friends with any of them and don't pretend to be, like some, who then turn around and stick a knife in their backs because it's FUN! No, it's going take me a LONG, LONG time to get over this massive loss in my life........OK, I'm over it. Gee, wasn't as tough as I thought, lol.
F) PLEASE continue to not pander to me. Otherwise, I will think you are a sell-out, god forbid....
G) Bring it on, let's continue to trash this thread with off-topic inanities and 8th grade level character attacks- I LOVE it. Been a member at other places where you couldn't act like this, so I'm am ready and willing to drop down to your level and be insulting, act like an *******, ruin threads, make enemies, make fun of everything you do, you name it, I am IN.
H) Hugs & kisses to all.

Thin skin doesn't work here. Took me about 2 days to figure that out. Lighten up man. Some people really dig when bands are a juke box live. Some people dig when bands step outside of the box. This place happens to have more members that fall in with the latter.

Have you noticed how all of the regulars here bust each other's balls every chance they get? It's an ongoing theme and keeps the place fun and unpredictable. One of the reasons I like hanging here.

Nothing worse than a sterile generic forum.

Chill man!

Where did I ask for a sterile, generic forum? Isn't what I'm asking for is a modicum of respect for a discussion topic? If I responded to your post as I was responded to- "if you don't like it, get the **** out", would it not seem rude and childish to you? Yes, I've noticed that the "regulars" bust each others ball- and I've also noticed that sometimes it goes WAY beyond that. And it doesn't seem like "fun"...like in this thread. Disagree with the mob, and some go into attack mode- not with facts, not with ideas, but with insults, f-bombs and stuff that has no place in adult conversation. Is that so hard to understand?
I don't care if 99.9 % of the members here prefer a band to improvise or be "artistic", that's their choice- and they should post about it. What I do care about is that the discussion of the topic should be civil and interesting, with members posting their opinion supported by experiences and facts- which some did, thank you VERY much- and not utter nonsense that consists of non-topic links, flat-out insults, and silly name-calling.

I was going to respond to what Basil posted in reply to me but then I decided it's funnier if I didn't.

Everyone. Let's stop picking on this poor, overly sensitive fella. By now he's cried enough that he's using a snorkel to breathe out of.

It's funny that this all started because someone used f*ck in their reply to the OP.

F*cking get over it princess. We use profanity. There's no rule stating people can't use explicit words. Nobody is 'allowed' to cuss. By the way if any of what we've said to you broke any forum rules. By now everyone giving you a hard time would have been warned. And you didn't understand the context I used the word prominent in either. You keep bringing the word up. I simply meant regular posters that people enjoy talking to.
