Enough with the "calm down!" already. What did I say up there that indicated anger? I'm really, seriously asking. Bit too wordy? Not enough smiley faces or "lol!"s in there? Point out specifically what warrants me calming down, because other than the implication a handful of you would probably wear your own farts as cologne if it were possible there was nothing that wasn't calm in that. Brace yourself for this, but I actually didn't sit there and type that while screaming obscenities at my screen. Isn't that wild?! But it's true!
Well, you sound way more hostile than you think. I'm not being overly sensitive here. Not because you don't use smileys or whatever. Its because you're calling people douchebags and snobs for arguing with you. You sound just as dismissive and condescending of others as you claim people here are. Maybe you can't see it but you are being a hypocrite. Do you get that? I don't like arguing with people and I am not smart enough to go on so I'll stop here. But you sir, you seem to have the same sense of inflated self as you claim a lot of people on LPA do. No offense.
I would like to point out that in my exchange with Blackee Dammet, I did not provoke or say he was wrong, but rather clarified my position on the issues being discussed and do not feel he was being demeaning or angry in any way. On the other hand, I'm always down to watch a shitstorm, so you guys keep on flinging poop while I get out my popcorn.
*Quotes Iopia but doesn't actually use his quote* Come on, you have to see that you are twisting his words. He never said that you said that. He was making a point on how whether a song is good or not is completely subjective. And I'll defend Sujana too. These people are staying calm and staying as friendly as possible yet you feel the need to name call and come off as very snobby yourself. It's completely unnecessary.
Yes, and I acknowledged that immediately after. Thing about it though is that it's bringing up an altered (albeit slightly) version of the actual point and then proceeding to strawman it, regardless of how minor it was. If we're just going to argue "opinions are different sometimes", that could be every thread, but it's also not what "got me angry" in the first place and at this point I'm not sure how much more simplistic I can really make it. You're harping that I dropped a "douchebag" in a huge wall of text, but maybe if you're going to start inspecting my posts maybe go back and see what followed my "anger and swearwords". It was a huge explanation of why the remarks struck me as... you guessed it... douchey.
It's not the fact that you called someone a douchebag, it's the overall tone of your post. It's coming off, to me personally, as incredibly hostile. While that may not be what you intended it to come across as, that's how I read it. I'll agree with you to the extent that some people here have a heightened sense of self, but I'd also make the case that most people here are fairly good at defending their positions.
