Opeth - Do's and Dont's

[affinityband]

Come on, you mustve have argued with someone on here when you thought they were being silly and you were right. I guess we are now

 

[Powers]

Oh I used to argue on forums all the time, then I got made a mod and realised just how fucking annoying it is when people post total bullshit, and on this forum I'm not a mod and I just realised how pathetic and futile it is.

 

[affinityband]

Ok i guess thats fair enough. I dont really take it too seriously unless i know what im talking about. I learn more than i argue here. You have to expect arguments, peoples opinions are flourishing.

 

[biggsy]

Yeah, arguments about peoples opinions are fine as long as they're intelligent discussions that don't sink to the level of a cockfight. The thing that annoys me on this forum are the people who post negative comments for the sole reason of either trying to look cool or just being plain fucking annoying. But intelligent discussion is fine.

 

[affinityband]

I wouldnt say my argument was stupid. Except maybe for the end bit, the last sentence...But that was just a bit of Opeth forum banter. No harm meant.

 

[metal_wrath]

You uncultured swine.
You dont even listen/read to what other people have to say about music, when you could actually really enjoy something they suggest. My ego has nothing to do with it. But for you to go ahead and state art styles wrongly in an argument where you are trying to prove yourself correct is plain stupid.

WTF?? Nothing you said there has a shred of truth in it, or sense. You british twat. I have much more culture than you, just not as much posts. BTW I live in NY.

 

[Powers]

Well the two problems are people who are just knobs and people who take it too seriously. If there were just people who were knobs taht would be ok, 'cause people would just be able to say "Great...I'm not interested in discussing it any further", however there are some fools on here who actaully care what people online think of them, so this is how arguments start.

 

[affinityband]

Ok, agreed. And Metal-Wrath, Shh now.. Argument over.

 

[biggsy]

Good move AB.

 

[Opethian666]

I think the greatest art is not made by man, but found in nature itself, and the organisms that evolved here on earth, along with the development of earth's dead matter itself, and how life could arise out of that dead matter.

 

[affinityband]

True. But thats where all art comes from. You cant get more perfect than nature. hehe.

 

[NFU]

metalheads have an absolutely godawful sense of aesthetics, this is hardly anything new. look at how popular travis smith is!

[Opethian666]

^*Sigh*

1. Overgeneralisation and oversimplification of a large and varied group of people.
2. Negligence of subjectivity present in all interpretation of art.
3.

 

[Dement]

Hear, hear.

To understand that everything is relative is possibly quite mature.

 

[illidurit]

to care about that makes you a boring boring person that no one likes

 

[Dement]

And alas, such as how the intelligent feel walking amongst the blind masses . . .

 

[illidurit]

what the hell are you talking about, you're 17
