> implying that debating over whether or not the debate is worthwhile isn't a discussion in itself

So then why bother making a thread to have a discussion against it? Makes absolutely no sense.

why does it make no sense to discuss the opinion that "this debate is stupid"?

you're acting like a negative opinion shouldn't be discussed

"IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT"

I never said that. But the debate in this thread is the same debate that you're trying to debate against. So your thread is counter productive.

i forgot that i control what people choose to post

Well you kind of do considering you did start the thread.

yeah

if someone makes a thread and people come in and talk about something else, it's the OP's fault

you're tripping anyway.. no one's doing the east coast vs west coast thing in here, they're mostly talking about why they think it's a worthwhile debate or not

how is the thread counter productive if the entire point of it was to discuss how the debate is nonsense? it's taking a commonly debated argument and exposing the silliness of it. you don't really get the whole forum thing do you? there is no such thing as a "productive" or "counter productive" thread, we're just people talking about all things music...

Nah forget it. I'm gonna drop it. Do what you want.

I'm of the opinion that this thread has made for a worthless debate.
