And as for not foisting opinions, that's what this and any other forum is all about.




Sorry I meant to clarify that this is only in the political threads. Music, sure... I'll spout opinions all day, that's what I come here for. If I wanted to keyboard joust with arseholes I'd go to www.politics.ie.

Apologies gibbo, that first one wasn't aimed at you, rather at several dudes giving it I lurked for years, what's this dope ass breakz yo and then wondering why they get battered.





And sticking to the music is fine, but generally that doesn't allow the wider population know what that poster's personality is like.


Maybe that doesn't matter though.


I can't call it.

Everything matters.





Nothing really matters.

Just make it entertaining, lose the sense that you're an instant expert on everything ever, have a sandwich after two consecutive posts in which you insult soneone, that's all that's required.







YES

Yeah man, I knew it wasn't a dig at me or anything. I guess I just stay out of the really divisive threads. These tend to be the political ones, which I guess sort of mirror real life politics in a way. Within a few posts people start tearing each other to shreds. It's generally all down to a few trolls taking pot shots at people. It's crap when it descends to mud slinging instead of reasoned debate.

YES




But this is the point: who, other than a troll, wouldn't agree with that sentiment?

 

[skel]

Ergo, lets bring the ban hammer out.


I was once against this, but have changed my mind.


Something a troll cannot do, it seems.

The trolls and Facebook caused a brain drain. Not that there aren't cool, knowledgable people still on here, but a lot of the famous dudes/dudettes bounced. I don't really blame them because there are some mega herbs in here that harsh the collective mellow. Knownots that pipe off with disregard and just lower the bar.





One of the really cool things about soul strut was that there were big time dudes posting right along joe shmoes like me and it was sort of a level playing field. And there were insane amounts of knowledge. It used to be an effort to keep up with all the posts on page 1 AND 2! Now page two is like from a month ago. I'd be interested in reading some Insightful posts in the politics threads, but they're mostly just 3 legit pages ad then like 10 pages of the same people quoting and replying nonsense.





And...





There's hardly any fun around here. Something like 1,2,3 would have been wildfire back in the day. The inside jokes of the past are gone and I think that's sorely missed.

Speaking of which, this beatoff appears to have crashed and burned unless we can resuscitate it pfq. From 25 beats to (possibly) 4 is bumming me out.
