I may be relatively newly registered but I've been FR around for a long time, and I'm not a novice to net forums. "Newbie bashing" and "flaming" (arguing with cheap shots and ad hominem attacks as opposed to varifiable facts) are 2 of the tactics of trolls and people who revel in conflict instead of intelligent discussion. Next you'll be calling me a Nazi. Lame play.
btw, the Bible has very few varifiable "facts". The is mainly a matter of faith, not facts. Even at that, its incumbant upon you to cite passages that back up your assertations if you expect me to take anything you say seriously. But that's not your game, you are merely baiting, another time-honored tactic of forum trolls. I'm here to discuss music. If you have anything intelligent and substantial to add to the discussion I'll be happy to debate and discuss it. If you want to have an idiotic flame war count me out.
"You responded with an unsupported crack about the masculinity of anyone who sees merit in Queen's music."
I'm not bashing you, you're just so darned serious - I know Clash wasn't very good, and I'm not sure why I like them, and frankly I've never given it much thought.
I was just enjoying a light moment on the heels of the election, I'm sorry if I came off as insulting.
I was just having a little fun, and I apologize if you took me seriously - my table manners are not always so great (my wife's always giving me heck about my "rough edge".)
Can I get a a "mulligan" on this?
