Subject: It's a sad day....

Gimpy, don't be an idiot. Comparing the wiimote to the power glove is like comparing sex to dieing.

It seems a majority of our members can't seem to comprehend the definition of an opinion. If you check out almost any thread that is based around music, a majority of the posts will be flames, along with " _____ is better because ____ is talentless crap"

I.E.

Ghost Master X's posts are always productive...not...

Yup

There's two from today.

I think music discussion should be banned from the forums, just like politics and religion.

I agree with you. They are so pointless. It always ends up in flamewars. And everyones opinion is different. Just like politics.

Why not just ban all discussion?

We're here to talk and interact with each other. That's the entire point of these forums, or any forum. Just because something could get taken along the route of a flame war, doesn't always mean that they should be completely banned. Granted, most people here can't deal with other people having an opinion different than their own, but forums without (good) debates would be very dull indeed. We shouldn't ban every topic that might cause a problem, instead, only ban the threads that go down the well trodden "flamitory" path.

Hey wait! That's what we're already doing!

PS: (Politics excluded. I'm not saying politics are fine to discuss.)

Politics, it's not pointless unless you know it.

They should really just lock the threads that involve the putting down of one genre of music or another like the "rap is crap" threads. Those are flamewars right from the get-go. Anything else has the potential to be good, even if most of the time they end up with flamewars.

I really think that the no flaming rule needs to be enforced a lot more instead of banning topics that might encourage such.

Actually, that sounds like a better idea.

This might sound like a dumb question. But where are the flames. I've seen some border but for the flood that is good. You have no idea how harsh some flames could be.
OUCH! shakes hands**

Today, you have to bring someone down to make yourself higher I guess.

You used to be able to talk about music casually. Telling others why you like or don't like a certain type of music. At least, thats the way it used to be on the old b.net.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

I would really prefer that these idiots not make the situation so bad that music discussion is banned from the forums, seeing as how that would be a death blow to my group Rock Hall. But it may be inevitable.

It would not affect groups. If music was someone banned from the forums, it would only apply to the public forums.

There's a group called Body Politic founded by Reig, and its about politics.

Well, I knew you could have political groups, but (now this is slightly off-topic), why are groups such as the 420 Lounge not shut down? It is a group entirely based around smoking and mainly drugs.

I concur, a civil music thread on B.net is like a Jewish party at Hitlers house.
