Great.
Another hip hop thread.
Anyone want to guess how this one ends up? |
This was not intended to offend
anybody.
Again, might you look back to posts of further back? You would probably find that the whole reason I said any of these things was because people GOT offended by something that wasn't at all offensive. They made a big, asinine deal out of something and, of course, when I jumped in, it spiraled out of control.

If you really want to respect people's rights to discuss all sides of an issue, then SHUT UP and let them discuss the issue. |
Why not, exactly? If it leads to there, that's where it should go. We're not allowed to discuss things that are indirectly related to the topic? Are we that ****ing tight-assed about everything that we can't discuss something unless each and every post is EXACTLY in line with the previous?! Again, asinine.

I never stated an opinion which contained name-calling and vulgar descriptions of fellow forum members.

You're not any better than me. Nor are you any better than any of the other fools who have contributed to this mess. If you're trying to have an honet "discussio", then you are far from failing -- and not because you are off topic, but because you are using offensive language towards another member of the forums. Grow up.

| Please, can we stay on the topic, even if it isn't a terrific one. |
Is this a question? I fail to find a question mark. If you will say those things to me, you will say them correctly, in the same manner and respect in which I do to everybody else. In other words, I actually graduated from high school with a decent grade in English. If you didn't, then you have no reason to be here.

| Do we who appreciate hip hop go trashing threads regarding the best recording of Beethoven's 9th? Not that I see. |
So far, it appears that the level of maturity in such threads is quite high compared to these threads. I post in them all the time, but I never see people getting pissy about other peoples' comments, trying to make something out of them that they are not, in those particular topics. And.
of course, the level of maturity has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that we're discussing rap versus classical, but because, coincidentally, all of the idiots who read such rap threads take one person's post (beach's) and try to completely change its character and ideals, therefore making every rap thread complete crap, and every classical thread very sane and enjoyable.
How's that for equality?

From the first reply (second post, for those who are brain dead), we could easily tell that this thread was not satisfactory. But, more importantly, the first post to be considered as such is not my post, but indeed Gshan's post, who idiotically decided that if something negative is said about a thread which HAPPENS TO BE A RAP THREAD, that person automatically hates rap and should therefore be condemned to hell.
If all classical threads were to be brought down in such ******** as this, I think beach would have made a very similar comment.
This has absolutely nothing to do with rap music, you ******** -- it has a LOT to do with the fact that nobody can get away with saying ANYTHING if it spirals slightly off topic or out of character in accordance to the other two posts made before it. We are all mature adults here -- we don't need some idiot controlling our conversations, and getting the whole "U SUK U SUK UR NOT BEING FAIR U HATE RAP MUSIK GO AWAY!" treatment. If something goes off topic and people don't agree with it or whatever -- they don't have to reply if they don't want to. However, if they do, they should be able to with maturity.

| good job on f**cking up a perfectly good thread |
One of the first major signs of hostility.

Another major sign of hostility (I'm kind of going in order here).
If you people can make posts something they're not, then I certainly can respond to hostility (yet in a much more mature manner than asmox, of course)... can I not? I think that being a member of these forums just like everybody else, I am entitled to speaking my mind just as much as the next idiot who pulls a "South Park Moment". Get rid of those moments, and I will have no reason to discuss in these pathetic threads,
will I? Again, for those with no pulses out there, the answer to my own question is
NO.
PS: What the hell is wrong with proper grammar? Isn't that something to be encouraged here, considering that almost all of our active members are 16 and older? Improper grammar only tells us that the poster has absolutely no care for what he is communicating to everybody else, and it also shows a lack of intelligence and ability in the area of WRITING.
