If people are posting nothing but "THEY SUCK", how is any form of conversation supposed to build off of that? Give opinion, give argument for your opinion, and when someone has a conflicting opinion....let it turn into a civilized discussion....not a ****slinging contest. If you don't like someones taste in music, don't just respond to their posts to tell them that they listen to crappy music...that does nothing but clutter the boards. When someone starts a thread about a band that you don't like....why even bother going INTO the thread, much less posting in it, unless you are willing to give an opinion and back it up with legitimate arguments, not just crap like "BECAUSE THEY SUCK".-----
