Ozzman, do you ever feel like a douche when you post the same opinion 100 times?
Considering I'm right 95% of the time: No
You're acting like it's different from the opinions other people post over and over again. This thread is cyclical in nature.

Usually by randoms though, I feel like I read an anti-Road comment by you at least weekly.
Examples? Because a lot of what I've seen you say seems legitimately questionable to me.
I was being half serious, but in all honesty, it's questionable from the standpoint of the fact that it goes against what is accepted in the 'more underground' metal community. It's not questionable from the standpoint of objectivity (because it's impossible to prove factually that 'x band sounds better than y band' unless it's purely production based), just what you deem as 'acceptable' from your standards (or what the majority of people deem as 'acceptable'). I, too, could regurgitate half of what most people say and then I would suddenly be 'cool' (probably not, but you get what I mean). Read the quote from Krow in my signature. That sums up this forum quite nicely.
There are times where I think certain people here post that they like certain bands just to seem 'cool'. I cannot prove this at all. That is just my intuition talking.
My intuition is hardly ever misguided from my personal experience.
Not everyone is a poseur. I'm not that naive. But I'm sure that scenario happens on occasion.
My issue is how vicious people are for liking certain bands. Mort is a perfect example (at least at times). He gets mad that we're intolerant of transgender stuff, but then he's intolerant of other people's taste or will put people down because of it. It's one big hypocritical mess and it's why people are so resistant to get into the scene.

The fucking ravine that exists between being a dick about musical tastes and being a dick about someones gender identity is so massive that I don't see how you could ever have thought it was a good idea to connect the two.
Not even remotely similar.
Can you stop being so purposefully fucking obtuse on these matters?
Don't get so mad I don't like your brand of koolaid.
Re EM: Yeah I love those "I listen to everything" people. I've met exactly one that included things outside of the top 40 station lists out of I've lost count how many who made the claim.
Has nothing to do with "koolaid" but if you think that musical tastes affect someones life anywhere near the level that their gender identity does (especially if they are not part of the cis-normative binary) regardless of whether or not the roles and norms surrounding gender are constructed then yeah, it is a bit worth calling you on your shit.
Go try to get a good job or make any other great strides in normal life dressed in Hot Topic drag.
