You're still here and this thread has become entirely too long. I love Armin, but if other people don't like him then let them be.

I'm here to stick it, to those who remain too insolent and immature around these forums..

This thread is taking a new turn, obviously..

If it stops after this.. good, then I'll let it be.. but I will not stand for this insolence

___________________

so I guess the shortened version of this thread would be...


you like ASOT, and that you dislike those who dislike ASOT.



am I correct?

You won't change people anymore than they can change your view. Some people do it for fun and some people are being sincere. It's a message board...an open forum. This isn't Armin's website. People come on here and put artists down all the time. Sometimes I am tempted to tell some people to f*ck off, but that is just plain stupid. They are attacking an artist...not me...so who really cares? You want to make a difference? Continue to support your artist. You don't need to create a thread bitching about it...it won't make a difference. By being nasty and hateful the only thing that you will have accomplished is that you will end up looking as bad as they do. People are going to think what they want to think regardless of what you say because it is their opinion. Aren't we all entitled to that? Whether we convey our opinion in an intelligent manner or not doesn't matter...it's still our opinion. At the end of the day Armin is still Armin van Buuren. Like him or not...he still has a shitload more going on than the majority of us do. If we were out there touring the world and producing music that DJ's everywhere were playing we probably wouldn't be on here bitching and moaning about how much we like or dislike him. I like Armin and I support him as an artist/DJ. I could care less if nobody else in the entire world shared that view.

In the post I quoted you moron.

Originally posted by LiQuiD_FuSioN Some people are ignorant and would rather make tons of useless topics about how much the last ASOT sucked.. I think there are certain unwritten limits to that type of crap and that's why we got MODs to help out with that.

Let's break this down.
1) You say some people are ignorant and would rather make topics about how ASOT sucks. How is that being ignorant? It's called having an opinion.
2) You continue by saying that there are limits, and there are mods for that. You're implying that if you were a mod you would close down anti-ASOT threads. In the first sentence (not to mention the rest of this thread) you're talking about how you dislike the anti-ASOT sentiments people have, then you talk about thread control. This leads me to believe that you would rather people stick to your own ideals than having (and stating) an opinion contrary to your own.

Originally posted by LiQuiD_FuSioN That's why I'm open to any positive feedback, it seems that has failed though don't you think?

Well if you haven't given us reason to take you seriously, it would seem the fault would lie mostly on your end. As I said before, you don't give us any reasons as to WHY we shouldn't be bashing ASOT. That's the way intelligent debate goes. You don't just state your opinion (as you've done), you state your opinion and back it up with facts or reasoning. You've provided neither.

Originally posted by LiQuiD_FuSioN lol, um.. are we coherent?

What part of my post is incoherent? You said the following:

quote:

Originally posted by LiQuiD_FuSioN Seriously, there are some single-minded people around here..

And I responded with this:

quote:

Originally posted by tranc3 I suppose you have multiple minds? Would that make you a biological freak or a person with multiple personalities?

Seriously now, how is that lacking in cohesion? You stated that there are single-minded people around here, and I asked if you had multiple minds. If you couldn't get that you must be a dumbass.

quote:

Originally posted by LiQuiD_FuSioN lol, you only contradicted yourself with this post.

Again, you've only proven to me how stupid you are. If you think I was contradicting myself by saying this:

quote:

Originally posted by tranc3 My God, what an intelligent comment! You're doing an excellent job of sticking to your original "intelligent debate" platform.

then you are obviously in dire need of some English classes so you can learn the meaning of the word "sarcasm."

quote:

Originally posted by LiQuiD_FuSioN Yes it is. Talking about something rather than whining is the more intelligent thing to do.

So START TALKING ABOUT IT FFS!!!!! All you've been doing is whining about the whiners thus far! Make with some reasons! Since you agree that talking about something is more intelligent than whining, STOP WHINING AND MAKE WITH SOME REASONING!

quote:

Originally posted by Boomer187 so I guess the shortened version of this thread would be... you like ASOT, and that you dislike those who dislike ASOT. am I correct?

No, I don't like people who diss ASOT because of small contingency that 'AVB is changing his sound' etc.. the possibilities are endless.

I'm also here to stand up to the tossers here, read my first opening post.

You haven't been irritating me, I just see an argument that hasn't been articulated or thought out in the least and thought I would point it out. Way to respond to the criticisms btw.

Edit: I'm going to take your lack of response to my criticisms of your intellect as a signal that you agree with them, in which case you'd be more of a "dribbling dolt" than I.
