Is Friday the day?

[pilferk]

No, you've been a real hard read this morning.  I'm not sure where you stand on this.

Yeah, it's definitely a stupid distraction...just like the discussion of Emily was, yesterday.

And I realize that, in this case, I'm adding to the noise.  But I'm doing so in desperate hope that, by pointing out the ludicrous nature of it, we might avoid another one later today, tomorrow, etc.

[D-GenerationX]

You disagree with me, pilferk.  It ain't no thing.

Just a difference of opinion, that's all.

[jarmo]

And here I go again. Asking the same person the same question, that's been ignored multiple times, again:

No, I asked you: Is it possible to have an opinion that those kinds of opinions are disrespectful without having an agenda (like you claim I do)? Yes or no.

Probably yet another innocent mistake by you.
These things seem to happen. Especially with you.

No, I asked you: Is it possible to have an opinion that those kinds of opinions are disrespectful without having an agenda (like you claim I do)? Yes or no.

In my opinion, no.

Doesn't mean I'm right and you are wrong.  But I don't think that's just you throwing out a term for no reason whatsoever. 

There is rationale behind it, and its of the emotional variety.

So, you're telling me, you know why I think the way I do?

Please tell me more. This is fucking amazing stuff!
Creepy, but amazing.

So, you're telling me, you know why I think the way I do?

No.

I'm telling you that is my opinion based on your collected body of work.  You are very emotionally invested in this all being totally functional and normal.  You get your back up anytime anyone merely suggests that might not be the case.

Ergo, it would more than likely steam your clams to have the past 15 years basically glossed right over if there was a reunion.  You've said as much, word for word.

So, that's the basis.  Its not rocket science.

Lighten up, homeboy.  That was a joke (hence the smiley face).  Wasn't it you who said we take things too seriously...

I'm aware that it was a joke. But the point of the joke is just to stir shit up, again. Pretty bad timing considering the amount of posts that were spent whining about her yesterday, don't you think?
So....

/jarmo

So you know what the point of my joke was?  Or is that your interpretation of how you received my joke?  I ask because 2 posts above you note how creepy it is when people tell you why you think the way you do.

Hahahaha

Yeah, that was a pisser, huh?

[jarmo]

Are you sitting next to me? How do you know?
I'm really curious.

Because if I, or anybody else, points out what we think you come across as, you get upset.... Ironic.


The only thing I believe in is that GN'R is GN'R. Things aren't done the way you think they should be done. That does not bother me one bit. I know somebody that bothers a whole lot.

I think the media writes a lot of bullshit. I think you write a lot of bullshit. Doesn't matter.
Doesn't faze me. Doesn't mean I need to agree with it. I respond to it, doesn't mean it makes me angry or keeps me awake at night.... Emotionally invested.


Emotionally invested? Sounds like you. Not that you'd admit to such thing.
Actually, sounds like most fans. People who aren't concerned with their online images and appearances on fan forums...

So you know what the point of my joke was?  Or is that your interpretation of how you received my joke?  I ask because 2 posts above you note how creepy it is when people tell you why you think the way you do.

Ok, I'll give you a chance. Explain to all of us why you'd make such a post aimed at Emily.
Why, out of all people, did you post that to one person who's explained to you and others the meaning of original...

Sorry if I offend you by using logic. I know, it's sometimes lost.

Awaiting your response. 

I'm being serious here, totally disregarding the fact that normally I'd just think you're being a smart ass again!

Aren't you gonna congratulate me for stopping Emily from being mean to you? Being pro-active and all that?
No?

Nothing?

The shit I write fazes you, brah.  We established that a week or so back, I believe.

Your countless rants about "the media" also somewhat establishes you get a little irked by them.

Keeps you up at night?  No, that's ridiculous.  Bothers you?  Yes.

[D-GenerationX]

No?

If you actually said something to her (no clue if you did), then yeah, bravo for doing your job.  It is appreciated.

Hahaha.
This is the creepy part.

You faze me? You wish. I'm sorry that you're not an important part of my life. I know you seem to think you are.... Sorry!

My rants about the media?
My opinion you mean.....  Sorry if I don't believe everything they write is out of mutual love and respect for the artists they write about.

Funny shit.

If you actually said something to her (no clue if you did), then yeah, bravo for doing your job.  It is appreciated.

No, I told your buddy over there to save it. Before Emily responded.

A position I tend to share, for those wondering.

Because the "media" (and this isn't specific to music journalism) has become "clickbait" specialists.

They will write what is the most inflammatory, most over the top, most eye catching, most sensationalistic crap they can to ensure they get clicks.

I don't think these writers believe 3/4 of the copy they write, and that includes the opinion pieces AND the "news".  They're just trying to get views.

So....folks will have to excuse me if, when I consume content, I'm less "accepting" of the message than, maybe, I would have been 10 or 20 years ago.  Every media source has become Kerrang, Hit Parader, and Circus Magazine.

OK...rant over. For now.

[jarmo]

Since you have a problem with me editing my posts, I'll just clarify this one.

I think it was established that you think you have some effect on me because you think I actively go look for your posts. I explained to you that I read the new posts and respond to those I got something to add to.
You're convinced that it's personal, in reality, it's not. You just post a lot more than some others. Therefore many of the new posts are made by you.

The persecution you see doesn't really exist.

Exactly.
And it also seems like nowadays, many aren't exactly clued in on what they are writing about.
Just copy and paste whatever the other articles said, add something and publish it as your own thoughts...

I will! Congratulations for stopping Emily.     That?s an administrator doing a good job

Yup, again, agree.

I mean...I feel like the old guy, in front of his house, shaking his fist and yelling at the kids to get off his lawn. But, in this case, I really fucking wish they'd get off my lawn.

It just pisses me off what the media has, largely, become now. At least stateside. News for profit is a terrible, terrible trend.  I hope someday we figure out how to reverse it.  It fucks up so much stuff.....

[D-GenerationX]

I will! Congratulations for stopping Emily.     That?s an administrator doing a good job   

Except he didn't.  I'd agree if that were true, but its not.

At least, not yet.  Perhaps he is going to start looking very seriously at what he's doing in that regard though.

Oh, I don't think its persecution at all.  I just think you greatly enjoy yelling at me. 

Its why its the only kind of conversation we ever seem to have.  It's all you ever want.  You aren't the least bit unhappy with the dynamic we've got going on.

The point I was trying to make putting you on time out was that while it might amuse you to no end, I doubt its a super fun read for the gang here.

I?m not asking Jarmo to ban her nor anyone. But if he is looking very seriously at what he is doing in that regard. That?s good enough for me
