Criticism, Grammar, and Expanded Vocabulary banned from TA
And apparently with mod (even owner) approval.
It is incredibly unfortunate to me to see these bannings occur. While we've all seen that TA is good for cock jokes, flame wars, and making fun of Tiesto, I recently made the mistake of assuming that a logical discourse critiquing certain aspects of an event, track, producer, dj, etc. Unfortunately, this is clearly not the case.
Case in point: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...966#post5800966
Due to last nights database error, the thread is pretty much back to the way it should have been prior to certain TA's deciding to continue being upset over the content of my posts. Now, not only did I never once say that the event or talent was bad, but also each and every one of the posts I made in the thread was carefully worded so as to make my point and not incite a flame war.
Apparently, however, certain TA's who aren't moderators are allowed to decide what is and what is not appropriate content for a thread, and were quite visibly upset by my comments with really no logical reason as to why they took issue with exactly what I had initially criticized. As opposed to leaving it be and simply not acknowledging it, it was made into an issue. An issue, that in fact, was likely the reason for TA's database error last night.
And in what had to have been the single most unfortunate part of the entire experience, the owner of this forum decides to throw his two cents into the ring with:

We get the point... RJT+company move on.. wtf.. stop bickering
this thread made me lose sleep...srsly.. (*cough melly *cough*) |
Now, when I read the thread I don't see myself "bickering," but rather trying to reasonably defend my position regarding an event in the sole existing thread for said event. Is it then considered "bickering" anytime anyone expresses an opinion opposed to TA's queen bee? I should certainly hope not.
The incredible lack of class, understanding, and reading comprehension skills that I have witnessed over the last day in the above mentioned thread are both startling and saddening.
Now I realize this post is more than 20 words long, so some of you may have a hard time grasping it. To summarize:
- Well articulated, logical, and reasoned criticism or commentary on an event/artist/* is not allowed on TA. Please stick to flame wars and other inflammatory statements meant to ellicit responses of "Oh Snap!" from the peanut gallery.
Cheers.
Edit: Oh no, my summary is more than 20 words too! Well here's an even easier one:
- Dumb is better when it comes to TA.
