Pompous dismissal of contrary views as "trolling" is just that, pompous. And childish.

I have no idea how some of you tenderhearts survive in the "real" world.

Easy, they don't live here.

 

You said "tenderhearts". I could melt.

What is the "real world" like?

So, if it were up to you guys, you would ban people with opposing opinions? Not very secure in your beliefs, eh? Maybe we should create a perfume scented forum where all members hold hands and sing kumbaya as they lick each others asses.  rofl3.gif

No I would absolutely not ban people from simply expressing their opinions!! I was merely pointing out that those who are overly aggressive or deliberately antagonizing, get warned regarding their manner and (after an admin consultation) banned. I don't believe that a couple of trolls should ruin the forum experience for everyone else. As the OP mentioned some posters here seem hellbent on initiating an argument!

This, in a nutshell.

 

Everyone's entitled to an opinion. That someone hates a given song/band/setlist doesn't in any way diminish my enjoyment of same. I've never understood why some posters take it so personally if another forum member dislikes certain songs or albums. Different tastes, that's all. EVEN THE MEMBERS OF RUSH HAVE ADMITTED TO DISLIKING SOME OF THEIR WORK THAT CERTAIN FANS VIEW AS HIGH HOLY ICONOGRAPHY.

 

That said, no one is entitled to present their opinion as hard cold FACT and then sneer at anyone who disagrees. And to join a board and immediately start shitting in the sandbox in that manner is trolling, sorry.

I dismiss them as incorrect. tongue.gif

 

I think, for example, that anyone who thinks "Tai Shan" is a good song is an idiot. That's not pomposity, it's honesty...

Well, there are exceptions to every rule, of course. And even Geddy cites "Tai Shan" as a primary example of a"WTF were we thinking?" moment in the band's history.

 

For example, "Justin Bieber's music sucks" is not an opinion, it is a fact. His fanbase just isn't old enough to realize it yet.

It was actually a compliment. I'd prefer some of your comments instead of the nauseating, sycophantic rants some people post!
