Okay, speaking as a mod here, it is Bam, itās totally cool, and up until this pointā¦
I donāt think you said anything untoward or out of order in this thread. You donāt like Britney (or it seems most āmanufacturedā pop, you explained why and engaged with others.
That second post I quoted is not engaging properly though, and Iāve been mulling over stepping in for an hour or two now. Itās glib, completely dismissive of an entire genre that you donāt like, doesnāt actually offer any clue about what you consider āgood musicā to be and is to be honest a rhetorical question - you know thereās people on the boards with similar tastes to you. All youāre doing is throwing your weight around becauseā¦ wellā¦ I canāt tell. And thatās the problem.
Similarly, this oneā¦
Completely misrepresents the thread up till that point. It was mostly full of people saying they were giving Britney 2s, 3 and a few 4s. Barely anyone went straight for a five, and no-one did it ājust becauseā.
Youāre completely entitled to your views in these threads, but youāre not entitled to misrepresent or dismiss others, and youāre not entitled to come in and glibly dismiss the entire topic obliquely as you did in that first post Iāve called out. Engage with othersā views respectfully and theyāll treat you with respect, even if you disagree, but the reason people are responding the way they are at the moment is because theyāre reflecting your own attitude back to you.
If you want to discuss further, then Iāll happily do it in a separate thread or in a PM, but in the interests of not taking the thread completely off topic Iād rather not do it here.
