on the subject of assumptions.
I'd just like to point out that
not all the forum "noobs" here
are specifically partial to the
post-blackwater park era of
Opeth.
People use that word in such
a derogatory way anyway =/
And this is not an attack at
anyone in the slightest by the
way
I've just noticed that, that
stereotype has manifested itself
into quite a few threads.
Having the internet has become
like a technological advent in
our household only recently, so
naturally I haven't got much to
show for myself as far as posting
is concerned.
But I'm quite pleased to say that
I've liked Opeth for a number of
years now, MAYH and Morningrise
being established as my long term
favourites at this point, although
having said I virtually like everything
else too
So in all in all, a fairly pointless post... nevermind
Nothinggod said:Point is though, who really gives a shit when anyone started listening to something anyway. Having bought the first record when any given band was still eating leftover cornflakes with stale beer in uncle arthur's basement and recording a demo on their old reel to reel from 1974 doesn't really make anyone an expert on any given band or make their opinion on anything to do with the music anyone makes more valid. The point I was making was that there are a lot of people on this forum that have the vocabulary of a six year old and mentality of a rhesus monkey that pretend to be die hard fans from the start as though this makes whether they like or dislike something more valid. No one person's opinion is worth more than anyone elses when it comes to whether a piece of music is good or bad.

schenkadere said:What you're really doing is dismissing the need or desire for discussion of any band. So, why bother having a board, and in turn, why do you bother adding to it? Maybe it's you who should go away. All you do is alienate all the posters with your self induldging superiority complex...so what exactly is your point in being here? To dictate what and what not to discuss? You're really quite a dick...I can't imagine too many here would disagree. Everyone is putting me down for being 40 and being here...what the hell is your story? Aren't these just a bunch of kids having fun? Who the fuck are you to tell them how to do it?
Nothinggod said:I think the real problem is your obvious inferiority complex. You are the one that has felt the need to point out my superiority. I never said I was any such thing. In fact I have said time and time again that my opinion on any given subject is no more important than anyone elses, explicitly or otherwise. You obviously percieve me as authoritive in a way you are obviously not, and before you argue let me point out one last time that I served you up a nice creme de la arse on three occasions now at least. I personally don't see what making an idiot of yourself like an arrogant knownothing shitbag and expecting to be taken seriously has to do with fun, but as you so eloquently put it "to each his own". I don't see what comments like "ur a noob ur taste in music sucks mine is da bezt" have to do with discussing a band either. The problem you and your ilk have on this forum is that you have some ignorant, conjecture based opinions that mostly you will get away with because most people are just as dimwitted. As soon as your opinions are challenged you run for the hills and start ranting about arbitrary nonsense. It's really pathetic.
Nothinggod said:Also though, why would I care what anyone else thinks? If I have a superiority complex I would surely not care what people who I obviously think are below me think about anything. As I said to Prognostic on another thread, why should my motive be anything more than to generate a response? Furthermore I think I make quite a valid contribution to the discussion of music in general, far from the utterly, dare I say again, arbitrary nonsense some of you post.
As for dicatating what to discuss, well that all comes back to something else I said to Prognostic. If you are free to have an opinion and expect it should be respected you in turn have to realise that others will have a difference of opinion and equally have the right to express it. I don't tell anyone what they can and can't talk about. I merely point out how based on conjecture it is or challenge them to quantify it. That whole "don't pick on my opinion" nonsense is childish and defensive and only shows you have no confidence in what you say in the first place but are too arrogant to admit it.
Nothinggod said:More idiotic assumptions. Don't assume that everyone is as stupid as you for a start. If you feel that you are being 'talked down to' I suggest it is that you are an idiot and have no self esteem anyway. I don't know though your ability to follow logic is pretty inadequate if you ask me. As if you have any idea what I do and don't care about.
Oh and by the way I wouldn't assume that my 'audience' is limited to the posters on this forum. Then again you are the king of assumption if nothing else.
Nothinggod said:Typical defensive and arbitrary response. On the contrary, shithead, you are the arrogant idiot that tried desperately to correct me and only made youself look more stupid and here you are still arguing, only now you are trying to make it personal. You are the fucking idiot that said 'I live and breathe music, I just never persued it' Like that was a choice. Honestly I don't know a single professional musician, and believe me sunshine, I know a few, that would say that kind of nonsense. They generally do take music seriously enough to know how full of shit people like you are. At 40 years old the best you can do for an insult is 'find a life partner'. You don't make many assumptions at all. I know why it comforts you to think these forums are a place for idiotic kids to rant and rave about childish gibberish though.
Nothinggod said:No really, you aren't 40 are you? A 12 year old could come up with a better response than that. I think though at this point in time the best thing you could do is go about your business and stop trying to match wits with me. It's clearly a waste of both of our time.
