The Sad Punk
Blue Crack Addict
Ah, yeah, I tend to outright ignore most of the threads he'd post in on B&C, so I don't get confronted by his attitude in that sense much. I'm mainly accustomed to seeing him post on EYKIW/WTAHNN, where he owns the over-eager and ridiculous fans with coherent argumentation.
But yes, I remember that JD/NO comment, I think I was involved in that thread. Personally, I can't fathom why anybody would think New Order were even a tenth as good as Joy Division, but each to their own. I prefer the dark post-punk stylings of Joy Division to the direction New Order went post-Movement. Dreams Never End is a fucking great song, though.
As for GG, whatever it is that keeps her from the Superthreads, we need to get rid of it because she needs to be here.
I see his posts in the U2 forums too, yeah. I usually respect his arguments there, but find them to have an added layer of hostility that they could do without. Or if not blatant hostility, a holier than thou attitude. Maybe I look into it too much?
The thing about the JD/NO thing is that it's not the fact that he likes New Order more than Joy Division. I don't give a shit about that! I don't care if someone likes Linkin Park more than Louis Armstrong. The thing is, Laz DOES care. If someone's opinion is different to his, he doesn't see the futility in arguing about it. Isn't he like forty? What the hell people.
