Yoepus made a little oopsie. Sorry, but big fucking deal? Lira knew it was a little oopsie, Yoepus apologized for the little oopsie, and that was the end of it. Do you honestly feel that you have made a contribution of any sort pointing this out any further, especially with the attitude that you brought with it? |
I reckon that he apologized and that this thread was practically dead, but I was standing up for my friend because it angered me to see someone like Yoepus attack his character like that. In my experience and from what I've read, Yoepus spews hate and shallow anti-European propaganda. I have respect for conservatives, but not for one that demeans my culture (like he did on the Madrid bombings thread).

There are a handful of us here that frequent other forums but give little input to those forums. Does that make us musically or socially inferior in your eyes? And if so, should I be panicking right now because of my inferiority? |
No, but I find it awfully suspicious when someone registers on TA and posts exclusively on this forum. I admit that this will strike me more when I read a post that I find offensive.
| quote: | | There was a thread about this some time ago, and I failed to give my input in it, but my feelings about posting in other forums are probably similar to Yoepus' or most others here - there's a sincere amount of immaturity in the other main forums. There's only so many fucking times I can read, "OMFG I DIE when I hear that tune!", or "should I eat out my gf more" followed by a "Pics or STFU!". Furthermore, there's only a finite amount of times I sent myself scrambling across the internet or in my own .mp3 collection trying to identify the Paul van Dyk's 5th song in some fucking rave, let alone commenting on how great that damn fucking repetitive beat is over and over and over and over and over..... |
There is a sincere amount of immaturity in this forum as well. Actually, this is the reason why I don't post in here as much as I could. Politics is my second passion after music.
And also, music discussion has been host to many deep and meaningful discussions regarding music history and the musicology of edm. These discussions make TA the important medium that it is, as a useful way to discern global trends in music and edm culture, having a huge impact on the current evolution of the scene and general taste. Most of the posts might seem useless, but many have a useful purpose.
| quote: | | The one area that has maintained my interest, however, is the Political forum. A variety of views all across the world are poured into this forum nonstop, some mesh well while others clash hard. It is extremely interesting to me to hear all sorts of viewpoints, as well as debate those points that I disagree with at any level. In short, it is quite intellectually stimulating to be here, something from which I tend to find the other threads lacking. |
I think it's great that this forum exists. And I would post more if it weren't for time constraints.
You're one of the few people that I agree with most of the time, so I feel kind of bad that you have attacked me.
| quote: | That's not to say I haven't done those things, nor is it to say that I think it's "stupid" or "unnecessary" to comment in other forums. It's just no longer my cup of tea. Call it a phase, call it a life's moment of trying to be someone in a pretty eclectic forum and community, the point is I'm over it. I still love the music, I love the dance culture, and I sincerely wish the best for it. But I tend to find those old conversations are not only repetitive, but they are simply not very stimulating anymore. Again, not my cup of tea.
I hope that's okay with you, though I certainly won't lose any sleep if it's not. |
To each his own, and please understand the context of my criticism of Yoepus. Frankly, I think it's fine if people post mostly on Political Discussion. But I can't help being suspicious of the intentions of someone like Yoepus. Every TA should have a connection to edm culture, even if it's remote or minimal. It wouldn't be very constructive to see random football or basketball fans registering to TA just to post on the sports discussion if they don't have any interest in trance or edm culture. That's my only point.
