On one hand it's impressive but on the other, it's pretty pathetic that people go out and buy all this stuff because he's died. Fair enough it was new material but i don't understand the mentality. ''Oh, listen to my i-pod, i've got Jacko on it. I've been a huge fan for 48 hours''

Are all your posts bitter diatribes? Some people have been shocked by his death and have remembered that they liked his music again. Why is that so difficult to comprehend, and why is it such a negative thing. I think it's pretty pathetic not being able to grasp this.

As for your detailed response to my last post, I suggest you re-read it and try really hard to realise how wrong you are on all counts. I actually can't believe you are seriously convinced of everything you write about people. It does serve to give me a good laugh. For instance, you never fail to make me laugh out loud while I read and respond to your ludicrous assumptions, and you think I'm sitting here in anger. This is beyond priceless! LOL

I guess I do criticise your grammar quite a bit, don't I? Unfortunately for you, one area that I *do* feel is fair game happens to be intelligence - something you've now proven in spades to be lacking. I can only imagine how you make many of your own forum members cringe with pity and embarrassment for you as they read your constantly failed attempts at simple idea exchange. In fact, never have I had an online "opponent" beat himself to a pulp so effortlessly. It's not unlike watching a boxer knock himself out over and over again. Thank you for the entertainment, though.

WTF? How can you forget to like somebody? Fair enough if he had only released a few albums but MJ has been in the news virtually everday for 30 years. He is arguably the biggest artist ever. You don't forget you liked him LOL

The grammar is your only answer. It's the sign you don't have the ability to back up your posts, therefore you go for the c*nts trick. You have done it here because you gobbed off about the chart rigging and your backtracking was cringeworthy and embarressing. I remember when you tried it about the sales of 'Pop 2nd whatever' and got beaten up in there.

I know my grammar isn't perfect by any means but you do a pretty good job reading my posts and replying to me (constantly). It seems like thats the only reason you are here. Although it's usually you thats gone down the 'personal attack' road, which proves that it doesn't particularly matter if the comma is in the right place when i'm streets ahead with the debate

I have gone on many artist CD-buying binges after remembering how much I liked something. Music is a large universe.

I'd say.

More delusions of imagined victories. Are you running in slow motion with your hands in the air, surrounded by the cheering minions in your dreams as well? It's mighty rich coming from the king of personal insults.

It's like I've never been away.

Cut out the direct and personal references to a specific individual's intelligence, please. You are not simply bemoaning a perceived lack of wit in a poster in this case, you are deliberately glorying in this subjective opinion in an offensively personal way.

Drico.

Pulse, sum people carnt help it if they dont spel right.give him a break its not iz fault u no.

I guess I am, aren't I?

I hope I get the same grace from you next time someone posts a picture of me and proceeds to insult it... or many of the other lowest-common-denominator comments made in the past.

Not as long as yours, F0, but then that's understandable as I must have touched a nerve when I suggested that you might have a predilection for one of the three renowned organs above. That's not a personal insult, though, because intelligent people know that intelligent people often have low-brow taste. Just look at Pulse and his love of Erasure. Others, of course, just have low-brow taste. By the way, was Glenn supposed to be insulted by my self-deprecating humour? Look it up when you're finished stalking me and trawling through my posts.

F0? Very good.

I know all about self-depracating humour. But this is the Internet, and you don't always know what you are dealing with. My only beef is you rubbing your clear intelligence in people's faces at times. There is a time and place for that - hence my respose to what I quoted you as saying towards my (sometimes) good self. Personally, I prefer to flex my IQ of 140 at regional-level quizzes - with great success, I might add. I would like to challenge the Eggheads, but neither myself, nor my team-mates have any time for arrogance. I would feel bad if I had to give the eternal 'International Mastermind champion' a bloody nose before we had even started.

As for my memory, yes, it is good. I didn't have to stalk you, I just knew what keyword to put in the search-engine. I knew what posts I was looking for.

I'm splitting this rubbish off from the Chart Thread to keep that on-topic.

Fugitive, I'm taking our discussion offline to PM as my intervention was designed to reduce strife on the board, not increase it. There's one on its way to you soon.

Paddymacall, please desist from obsessively following me around the forum for the sole intention of trolling. It's like being savaged by a particularly insignificant Yorkshire terrier with a bad case of the yaps. You're scuffing my shoes and embarrassing yourself. Shoo.
