Oh, snap. Get the sandbags ready.
The point is we all know that wouldn't happen becasue Bowie is too popular in B&C so instead, anyone that tried to insult him would get bitched at instead until they leave the thread.
Face it guys, if it's a band that isn't liked by a handful of B&C people, it's going to be bashed into obscurity.
But if it's some whiny new Indie band or if it's an well founded already popular band, then the thread is going to be protected at all costs.
I usually don't get involved in these stupid arguments, and I don't plan on continuing this one, I'll talk to you guys later.
Exactly! If it's not a B&C favorite, the band will get chewed and spit out!
And that's not against the rules at all.

And the mods should feel the need to get involved in this, why?
It may not be against the rules but it makes that person you're piling on, feel like shit! Not everyone has thick skin like you in your Bowie scenario.
i know what you mean! the first car i had used to be in good condition, but in the last years of my granny's life (no one else wanted the car when she died so i was like "shit, i'll take it!" i'd just turned 16 so of course i wanted a car) she didn't take such good care of it. then the car i got after that i got used as well, and i loved that car. if i hadn't been in an accident, i'd probably still drive it today. i'd grown such a sense of attachment to it that i'd said even when i got a newer car, i'd still keep that one
but the experiences of that first car, and the fact that i needed to get expensive maintenance done to the second car (timing belt, crap like that) made me say i want to buy a car, and then sell it BEFORE all the expensive shit starts coming up. i'd love it if i never bought a timing belt again or any of those other several hundred dollars maintenance repairs.
It wouldn't bother me in the least. I have to deal with being a U2 fan in real life, I've had practice dealing with opposing viewpoints.
I'd defend him, but I wouldn't get insulted or bothered.
Incorrect! I posted in that thread asking people to stop bashing but I don't post in the RED thread 70 million times a day! I don't even remember the last time I posted there. Anyway, I just felt bad for the hate posts piling on and on over the OP who was obviously quite excited.
yeah. i'll never forget when someone signed my yearbook "U2 sucks"Honestly, being a U2 fan prepares you for real life. Defending Bono is a restless job if you make it so.

My favorite:
"Dan -
U2 sucks. DMB rules.

Hence, my post: "People in this forum are too sensitive." I'm fucking 17, and I'm apparently more mature than about 90% of this board.
They should only feel like shit if it gets personal, and if it gets personal, it's against the rules.
I love telling people I'm a U2 fan, because then they immediately want to bash Bono, which they think bugs the shit out of me but I tell them I could care less because he bugs me sometimes, too. Which immediately deflates some detractors.
I'd say djerdap's post was pretty personal. And I'm not saying that because it personally offended me. I'm saying it cos it insulted Bon Jovi fans.
Kind of. Laz's was actually more personal than that, if you ask me. D-Dap's wasn't too bad.
Guys, I think it's time I run through a little OOC marathon.
What if you started a thread about, say, a surprise gig by David Bowie in the Philly area and everyone came in and talked shit about Bowie calling him a weirdo who can't sing? Don't tell me it won't bother you.
To them he's a weirdo who can't sing, but for fans, he isn't. Some posters take it to personal insults, which I agree is wrong, but like I said in the thread, if it's said in jest, then it should not be a big deal.
their response should be "how much less could you care?"I tell them I could care less because he bugs me sometimes, too.
their response should be "how much less could you care?"
You grammar nazi!
Except it's hard to tell what is being said in jest and what is being stated like facts. Especially on the internet.

I'm pretty sure they could figure out the jest in those Bon Jovi jokes.
