EagleMoon Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You know when a thread devolves into name calling and personal attacks about opinions it's time to hang it up.Well, this thread was doomed regardless of how sincere the question was. Yeah but it seems like so many threads turn out this way regardless of the original subject."Seems like" but not truly. I've visited a dozen+ threads in the last half hour and none of them have become name calling arenas. I'm just talking about since I've been a member here. I've seen it happen so many times and it just gets worse when there's no tour or album coming up. Now that they're retired it's just stayed that way. The most innocuous threads sink to name calling.I'm talking about the big picture.What percentage of threads got to name calling? 50%? 20%? 10%? No, probably not even 5%. Are 5 threads out of 100 a lot? I don't know if it is. I do know that there are fewer instances of name calling than 10 years ago. You're overthinking this. Not really.I'm telling you you're finding too many negative points and forgetting all the normal, non-name calling conversations you've had and have read on here. This place wouldn't have survived this long if it were as gloomy as it's sometimes painted. I think shes only reading threads where Tony gets mad. Or appears at all. I obviously don't read every thread on here but there has been a lot of negativity going on for the past year or so. There's a good reason that so many people have left. Yes but there are so many new people that have come to the forum. Some have even returned from long droughts. Its just the nature of the internet. Oh really? I hadn't noticed too many new people.

I find it ironic that someone so concerned about "negativity" sounds rather negative about everything here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 What has Queen got to do with this discussion about Rush? While I am at it: Metallica is more metal. So are Saxon, and Opeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just commenting on how it seems like there is a lot of name-calling and disrespect on this forum. Compared to what I'm used to, that is. And yes I do know that there are much worse ones than this. I'm not trying to be negative at all. I'm just making an observation and I think it's sad.

lifeson90 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Queen, Dragon Attack, oh yeahh. nothing to do with metal probably, just popped in my mind (or whatever it is i have) by the way, Rush are about as metal as Cheap Trick :) mann, Brian May was awesome. only rock guitarist i'd put in same bracket as Al in the imagination department.
