Private property rights, freedom of speech? |

Looks like I'm proving you wrong yet again. I originally came here in February 2004, and have had a number of accounts.
Keep on losing arguments, this is really entertaining to me. |

- Why do so many of these missionaries think that they're indispensable pillars of the EDM community. As if, if they were to vanish into thin air one day, an acopolypse would obilerate EDM off the face of this earth and all hope for it's revival would be lost. Are they that self-absorbed and deluded into thinking that their loss would be an irrecoverable one? |
Do they really? I've seen a lot of people who feel like no one seems to get how far EDM has descended in the pop realm. A periodic despair, but not self-aggrandisement.

With good intentions in mind, it is then that these missionaries again go on a crusade to actively rectify these newbies. If these newbies want to stay in a fool's paradise and be complacent, why aren't they just left alone? Why do the missionaries relentlessly continue to flog a dead horse?
Why not concentrate on those who are open to suggestions and are not afraid to be experimental? |
The thing is, they bring their opinions here. This is a forum of discussion and debate. If no one disagreed with them, there would likely be no discussion nor debate. Even these so-called "missionaries" have had to defend their opinions and positions from other people who have different tastes.

No kidding, thanks for providing us with an example. :rolleyes:

He's not acting offended. Learn to read between the lines a bit, and then come back and try again. Also stop being bitter because no one seems to like your music. |

I was just wondering why he's doing the exact same thing he's bashing others for. It takes a lot more to get me offended.
I don't like double standards. |

| You obviously know why they do it. And asking a question about it in order to create some sort of contreversy wherein these 'missionaries' are suppose to suddenly realize their evil is silly, don't you think? |
