That said he would last 5 minutes at Progarchives. We don't "do" humour there...

I don't think we do humor here either. I haven't seen any.

Caravan showcases a heavier side of Rush, plus proggish elements thrown in. Plus, it has an awesome instrumental break in the middle. For these guys to put out music like this at their age is truly amazing. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but anyone who says the song is utter crap obviously aren't an open minded individual, and also ignorant of the music world, especially in its current state today. I can understand if someone says, "Nah, it's not for me," that's fine. Caravan definitely showcases quality in what Rush is best known for: their instrumental virtuosity. I wouldn't call either song "utter crap".....and I think it'd be tough for any fan to do that. I think both songs are just mediocre and don't have a high listening value for me. Geddy's vocal melodies are lacking (as they did big time on S&A), and the songs just don't flow like a well written song should....   Who knows what the new album will bring, but I'm very skeptical, as I thought S&A was one of their worst of their career.... Sucks to be in that .01 percent minority doesn't it? Except for my wife ,I don't know one person that likes S&A. She also likes Bon Jovi Really, outside of the people on this forum, i know of No One That likes it. I gave it chance after chance and you know what ? If a person has to try that much, they don't like it me neither.....no one I know likes it. Why don't you like S&A? The first half especially is amazing.

And just goes to show how even METAL can be completely and utterly SHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   As for the number of likes, that's down to all the numerous braindead, cretinous, basement dwelling, D&D playing, Mom living, never had a girlfriend, unthinking, uncritical FANBOIS that Rush attract.   Rush, getting WORSE since 1978 FACT!!!!!!!!!!   FWIW BU2B is better than Caravan. In the same way that Diarrhoea is preferable to Amoebic Dysentery Ok, seriously, I'm still not entirely clear on Cosy Toes purpose here. Is this a for-real, actual, troll or some sort of moderator-condoned, comic-relief-type troll? I don't think I've seen a single positive, or for that matter NEUTRAL, post from CT. They've all been negative, and profoundly negative, at that.   Clarify, please. Cosy gets a lot of flak because people just don't get him. Look at his posts -- aside from a handful of truly useful posts, both funny and serious, all he does is the same routine over and over. Old Rush good, new Rush bad, Neil is a tosser, etc. It's gotten stale after all these years, and he's not as funny and ironic as he thinks he is, but whatever. Those posts don't really hurt anything.   Our position on people like Cosy is, as long as he's not attacking other members directly, and is not saying anything REALLY offensive, we're not going to do anything permanent about him...   Which brings us to this particular post of his, which was in response to the above post by woodring2112:   QUOTE (Cosy Toes @ Jun 4 2011, 06:53 PM) Old Rush GOOD, New Rush Bad. Is Good a negative word? Now Eat Shit Tosswipe. Cosy, if this were your first account here, that post would earn you a warning. But we've been through this too many times. Woodring's post did not deserve that response, but of course you knew that. We keep giving you more slack each time you join, but I guess that bores you after a while, and you have to act like a douche.   I know you'll run back to your other boards and brag about how you got tossed from here again -- you like that sort of thing, which is why you posted that -- and three people from those places will give a shit. Have fun with that. Shame. (in both senses of the word)   Ok, Nick should know that English slang and slurs don't necessarily travel or translate well but that so-called attack on woodring is neither truly aggressive nor offensive from a British point viewpoint. Did you really take that post at face value? Did Woodring complsin?   You should either ban him permanently or accept his personality and his act. This constant banning of every new re-invention is a bit lame really. So, "eat shit" is not an insult in your neck of the woods?   Again, Nick is not a problem as long as he doesn't abandon his act and start insulting members. He knows this. Probably as "bad" as "eat my shorts". Hmm, not really like "eat my shorts". Not with tosswipe added to it. Tbh I found it offensive even though it wasn't directed at me. Believe me, I'm far from prudish despite my Englishness.

[Tony R]

There's no such word as "tosswipe"

 

Eat faeces you discarded ejaculate? Really?

QUOTE (Tony R @ Jun 5 2011, 04:01 PM)

Seriously, the guy is an accountant in his mid 40s, do you really believe he posts to get banned? Yeah, the toe dances on the line, and he obviously posts drunk but you should either perma-ban him or accept him. Sitting around waiting for an excuse to ban him again and then letting him re-register in a new guise is just an exercise in futility. I don't bow to anyone but I think that he's a laugh and he's really just trying to prick the bubble of earnestness and anal-retentiveness that surrounds a lot of Rush fandom.

We're not sitting around looking for an excuse to ban him. We're sitting around trying NOT to ban him, hoping he doesn't cross that line because people do like him when he's not flirting with that line. We're sitting around ignoring the pleas of newbies who don't get him and are crying for his banishment.

 

And you can't permaban Nick because he knows too many ways around it. This is what I'm talking about -- you say he's an accountant who isn't trying to get banned, but look at the effort he goes through to get new accounts through. I stopped trying to block his IPs years ago because it was futile. He puts a weird amount of effort into all this.

Either that or he doesn't have a static ip address...

QUOTE (Good @ bad,andrush,Jun 4 2011, 05:15 AM) Cosy is fukking with us, isn't it obvious? If it bothers you so much, leave it alone, and man-up. It's usually a valid opinion expressed in an arrogant, british-humor-like manner mixed in with sheer stupidity. I for one (for the most part) find him/her/it hilarious, and when I don't I leave it alone. Simple as that. Can't believe so many take it seriously. Cheers to this gender-confused Old Rush Good New Rush bad freak  And the rest of you, Caravan rocks!    But Bu2b is better  Bah Fecking Humbug to you. Apparently, I'm not as funny as I used to be, which just goes to show how right I am in my "Old Rush Good, New Rush Bad" summation. It's what happens with time, your bottle of rocket sauce runs dry.   I hope the sauce on my gays never runs out though, there really is nothing better than licking the special sauce from a gay at teatime.   You are correct in your summation of BU2B being better than Caravan. At least one of the several songs BU2B has been stitched together from has some potential to it. Caravan is just poor beyond belief. I always like how faggs turn into gays on here...

Wow. Imagine my surprise at the hubbub my post caused.

 

For the record, I am not some sort of prude, nor do I have thin skin. I spent 20 years in the military, and am used to "colorful banter". I can be as colorful as anyone, believe me. As for the whole" english humor" arguement, one of my best friends is english, so I am somewhat familiar with that whole situation.

 

With my original question, I was merely trying to figure out the rules of engagement as they applied to dealing with/responding to CT.

 

That's all.
