It's obviously a grey area, but you know what people are talking about - stop being a knob about it

It's a grey area yet morons insist on deconstructing it as if it has quantifiable boundaries (hint: it doesn't, it's down to personal opinion) and calling people knobs when they're challenged on using such retarded phrases as if they mean something.

Most other people on the thread knew what was meant by it. You just decided to pick at it.

That's correct.

I was pointing out the futility in obsessing over a vague and meaningless PR comment. If that upsets some people's delicate sensibilities then perhaps they need toughening up in preparation for the real world.

A few weeks ago I had a scan of the Sonisphere boards to check if there was any Soni rumours; there weren't any but some user was saying that R+L have Foos, Kasabian and Florence lined up. Obviously I thought nothing of this at the time, and I guess I still don't. Anyway earlier I was looking at Ringrocker (think a much less reliable German eFests) to see if there's any news and rumours on European festivals because I've been trying to decide if any particular European festival takes my fancy. I checked on R+L to check out who it reckons is a rumour for the hell of it. It had Arcade Fire, Slipknot... Foos, Florence and Kasabian! :lol:

I don't think that'll happen of course and I wasn't gonna mention it in case people got carried away with it but that's kinda curious. I wonder if they'd get as bad a rap as the Blink repeat. :P

obsessing

These following posts were the only two posts that were actually about which acts could be included in what Melvin was saying. Everything else was discussing the quote in general (not taking it as anything more than a vague and meaningless comment), which you did as well, so I guess you're as much of a moron as the people you're calling morons.

I know I shouldn't take notice of anything Melvin says, but didn't he say that all the bands they're talking to are guitar bands? Ruling out The Prodigy?

He said they all have guitars, and The Prodigy have guitars.

so I guess you're as much of a moron as the people you're calling morons.

I don't think that's ever been in doubt, the difference is that I'm aware of it. Being aware of and comfortable with one's flaws and knowing how to deal with having them pointed out is an important part of becoming a rounded and well-adjusted member of society; some of those here clearly aren't there yet so I'm happy to help along that path. It's only because I care. I couldn't in all conscience let it slide as I'm aware of the damage that such behaviour displayed on these forums could do later in life, and I genuinely worry about all of you. I'm happy to sacrifice my own profile in order to help, I don't expect any thanks, the knowledge that I have sub-consciously helped you become better person when you grow up is enough for me. I've said it before but it's worth re-iterating, in many ways I'm a lot like Jesus.
