I don't think that personal connection should invalidate what someone considers to be best.

Hold the phone! You said "could" and "also." You also said "similar." So, since it's only similar, and it can also be used that way, does that mean it's not exactly the same thing? If it's only "could also," do you realize the differences now? It doesn't mean you have to agree, but do you at least understand? I have no problem with people rating things your way, and I'm aware most people do. But you seem to have a problem with mine.

So you'd call a piece of music that excells in those criteria the best.
And then there might be some song that is pretty ****ty, but you've been constantly listening to it on a party way back and since then it evokes feelings that make it so enjoyable, that you prefer listening to it to listening to the aforementioned best song. And you know that you'd probably dislike it without all the nostalgia.

Well, I came back because I figured the subject might have changed since grindy's here, but I don't think he really changes the subject often now that I think about it.
And, grindy. About that party, you didn't just pin the tail on the donkey;
you nailed it on the ass's ass, like there was a birthmark on the donkey's ass that looks like the really tiny space on the center of a dartboard that gives you like, what 500 points?. This is exactly what I'm talking about. I mgiht not be as good at explaining it as I should be, since this is a common topic for me. It never really turned into this kind of argument, however, so I do not doubt that stress may have clouded my mind a little.

Exactly. Frown, you've been showing signs of annoyance at this opinion, which is completely valid. Even if the language was tongue and cheek, telling me to "get over it" was what started my own annoyance at the subject. I understand that a forum has trolling, but there are limits. I mean, how would you feel if I told you to just "get over it?" And what really broke the camel's back was that you told me that and you're a
moderator. Is that really the kind of response a moderator should have when someone just simply disagrees? I know it seems a bit off for a regular user to scold a moderator, but I said nothing to invoke that behavior you displayed
in the first post. So answer this: what lead you to say that?
