Some awful awful bullcr#p has gone to number 1 and long ago been dumped into the dustbins of history. It's not enough to say, this song is great because a bunch of people bought it.

No, but more people will understand why somebody uses Yesterday in a comparison between two completely random songs than a Ned's Atomic Dustbin b-side.

The mods may delete this post due to my bringing up Firthy (nothing against him at all) in a personal way, but I do it to make a point. It's on thing to disagree about music, it's another to bring in ad hominum attacks. Cut it out!

Its not simply a re-use. It now has a st ettiene poster and charity calendar on the wall!

That's not true. In fact, as you might say, it's "awful awful bullcr#p".

I don't mean it in a literal sense of course. I mean it in the sense that a majority of the posters who post most of the time are quite rude.

Do I? Have you reported these personal attacks? You'll have to forgive me for not trawling religiously through your numerous threads to hang on your every word. There is a report button. Use it.

The mods aren't your personal road sweepers. If you want to embarrass yourself in public forum, far be it for me to provide you with a strategically-placed fig leaf (even if it would only have to be a really small one).

I certainly have used the report button. In fact, I've ticked that I would like a followup, but I never get one!

Erm, I didn't ask you to clean up, I was just noting that it may be deleted. I wasn't asking you to delete it or not. It's up to you.

You're dishing out orders, trying to moderate again.

Why keep starting threads up and then asking them to be scrubbed?

This year alone you've used the report button to complain about one poster's contribution to one of your threads, to have somebody's post removed because you found it inappropriate, and to direct us to warn somebody you were feuding with. The report button is there for genuine grievance - not to settle scores.

Why would it be deleted? Why is it "up to us"? I've got to hand it to you: you've managed to derail your own thread. Now, if you want to continue this lunacy, feel free to take it to PM. I'm sure I can spare a week of my life for the inevitable ensuing PM tennis.

If I thought it was inappropriate for the forum, then it's something to report. Either way, you should get back to me on the issue. This year alone: you've used it three times! Gorsh, that is so much!

It's ALWAYS up to you. I was just saying it COULD happen. I was saying it was a borderline comment, I knew that, and so I was just putting it out there.

Why would I give a crap if my "thread derailed"? Almost no one on the forum can understand a poll between songs that are quite similar. That's not my fault. It's happened before, there was a big to do about Mike Posner's song. Objective, yes, objective fact: there are many similarities between that song and Love Etc, Pandemonium and a couple other Yes tracks. What happens here though, is a total lack of respect. Sometimes I get PM's from people saying they don't know what everyones problem is, but they don't say it out loud. Bohemians makes totally incomphrensible posts and mole makes extremely pedantic ones, but they don't talk back about it so they don't get the same amount of bitching. Simply put, there are a lot of people who don't treat people nice on this forum. I know of some members (large contributers) that have left the forum and no longer post (think about it for a minute, you may be able to come up with them) who have just made their excuses and left.

The thread I asked to be closed was closed for a very good reason. You were a big part of that reason, and the mods must have agreed with me since it was indeed closed. You just fart around the forum causing problems when you can. In fact..I'll have to do it again.

Mods, please close this thread.
