On top of that, you started by saying I was wrong to think the way I do of what happens in these music threads, but then went on to agree with me in your second sentance.  |
You were over-reacting. Suddenly you implied that these threads were turning into an unmoderated forum, and suggested the mods try to keep it mature. It almost seemed to me like you were calling the mods out. I guess I just didn't expect that.
As for the content of your post, I do agree with you. It sucks when anyone who makes a thread about a band suddenly has a few posters jumping and and insulting their taste in music, and it happens all the time. It sometimes seems that if a band has ever been played on commercial radio it suddenly sucks. I guess the only music that is any good is music no one had ever actually listened to.
I don't mind Blink 182. I don't have eny of their stuff, but I like some of their songs. One of my favourite bands is Stone Temple Pilots, who many on this board ripped when it was announced they were headlining Virginfest last year.
So yeah, I agree with your point about people thread-crapping; but I also think you over-reacted when you asked the mods for some maturity.
(the "Maturity Police" thing was just me being a smart-as$)
