Actually, its nothing to me.
This is a message board, it doesn't affect my life. I don't get off on being sick of you.
Its more related to you- multiple people are sick of it. Not your opinions or interpretations, which you are more than free to have, but your condescension and your overall tone.
Actually, I love No Line on the Horizon and had a great time at both shows I went to last year. Who the fuck are you to assume that I'm stuck in the 90's? Just because I don't like the lyrics to Every Breaking Wave or some of the stuff on ATYCLB and HTDAAB? Why aren't you commanding Iota to do the same thing, since we seem to be in agreement here?
Don't tell me how to spend my time. I didn't come in here trolling to start a fight about EBW. I was appalled at reading all the hyperbolic responses to mostly banal lyrics and what I thought was a MEH performance outside of Bono's vocal and thought I would express my dissent, which as far as I can remember is allowed even in this drooling, sycophantic wing of Interference.
Good, you love NLOTH. I suspect we agree it is mostly a step up lyrically from ATYCLB and HTDAAB.
Who the fuck am I to assume you are stuck in the 90s?
First off, thanks for proving why everyone is sick of you, its the tone again.
Second, go back and read your last 8 pages of posts where you repeatedly made Zooropa and Pop out to be the walk on water lyrical albums from U2 in contrast to almost everything else that had been released.
Its not like I pulled this stuff out of nowhere. I don't keep secrets around here, I go on what I see.
I didn't tell you how to spend your time, you are giving me way too much power here. I simply suggested that maybe complaining about the same thing over and over again and condescending to anyone who disagrees is not doing much for you or anyone. As Salome said, its not like we will ever agree.
The part of your post that I bolded/underlined is flat out absurd. Since when have I ever had a problem with dissent here? I have criticized U2 plenty here. I defend them more than criticize, but you will see multiple strongly worded complaints about the number of ATYCLB songs in the 360 set list from me. That is just the most prominent example.
I can think of 1 or 2 true sycophants here, and they are certainly not me, Laz. Certainly not me.
One of the most overused and sad tactics of Laz and his ilk is to accuse anyone who doesn't share their opinions of being a blind sycophant who will not tolerate dissent.
I don't care what you think, whether it is against a decision of U2 or in opposition to something that I think. Never said I did.
All I did was remark on how I was, along with many others, getting sick of your attitude.
Nice try, though.
The whole post was a good effort at trying to condescend to someone it wont work with
