@lethe78:
the only one that gets going here seems to be you. i really don't think anyone took your thread that seriously or grudgingly. of course it was a joke, and - i feel - lighthearted enough to be pleasant. my "own" thread about it was of course nothing but a joke anyway.
in much the same way - except maybe for misanthrope's vibrant reply, but that's his way of stating his point and he's entitled to have both his way and his point - everybody here just laughed along, with their own comments. no need to pretend they're the ones who got upset: they didn't.
but you do. and call the way some ppl might express dissenting opinions about
anything "bitching about". am i bitching about when i tell you i don't agree?
i don't agree with the fact that discussing something means bitching about. have you bychance noticed that there's ppl on some boards posting 15-20 one-liners per day just to say "hi" and "i'm going to sleep"? i feel that whatever discussion is worth taking the risk of a little exaggeration, and who cares if it's not earth-shattering? i can assure you we don't spend our nights in anguish because of posts we don't like.
and i don't agree with your opinion about the threads revolving around damage done. as with many others many times before, you hide behind your claims that you'll buy the album just so that you can, well,
bitch about without addressing the real issue, which is (for the upteenth time): some feel that we might make an effort and keep dd-related discussions
out of this forum until release date or close to it. what has all this pro-against-dontknowabout-piracy blabber got to do with it? absolutely nothing.
not to mention your ridiculous claim that exploiting a band is exclusively the exploiter's problem. along the same lines, if we're bitching about this is only our problem and you were making the same mistake just by bringing it up.
with that said (let me think, this is a hard one... oh, yeah) goodbye.
rahvin.
