If you're not doing so already then you must never read Show Yourselves or anything on the football forum, or read image comments.
If somone gets a 'frivolous' tattoo, it's safe to say they're gonna have to deal with people giving them a bit of gyp over it, that's just part of the deal, and similarly, if you post something like that up, in a tattoo forum, people are gonna comment on it, and if the work is severely bad (as in this case), people will mention that too. As I said, you can think what you like, but the fact that 'fefe'
has, in response to the comments, decided to get this bad tattoo covered up and replaced with something better, I believe, vindicates my comment. At worst, it's a passing cheeky remark by someone she's never met, is never likely to meet, and probably never noticed up to that point and never will again, so I hardly think it was deserving of being called out by the big boss as the prime example of an arsehole AltNation user.

I usually defend the magazine pieces if I think they are ok, the fact it was my pal/burd didn't make a huge amount of difference (she's more than capable of defending herself) but as a newish user posting I really thought the 5th degree wasn't required.

5th degree? Are you for real?

Plus we all know that music is subjective and if I asked anyone to name the top 5 of any genre you'd get a lot of different lists,

Music taste is subjective, Music genre classifications less so. The point, which seems to have gone over your head, was that missunderscoretress2003 (I read back other the thread in question again) was using the term hardcore to refer to bands which weren't hardcore, they were metal bands. I, as a long-time fan of hardcore music resent and am bothered by the fact that the term has been co-opted into meaninglessness by metal bands, and that kids nowadays just have no clue what it actually is, hence my comment. Also, it was actually Lev that brought it up, I just thought her reaction to his comment was very stand-offish, and so I chipped my tuppenceworth in too.
Oh and the TOP 5 BANDS thing is a reference to an ancient honesty thread in which Rab BJ claimed that liking death metal meant he wasn't a wigga, as black people don't like death metal. Not that mrs_tress knew that (though I did mention it in the first post), but I thought it was obviously a joke anyway.

usually cause people havn't listened to every band in the world. Personally I thought you were just being a complete dick in that thread especially, as it was a live review of a couple of local bands not music hardcore 101 still would hav ebeen nice if you'd answered her questions since she answered you while explaining her opinion.
|
Point me in the direction of what questions she asked which I didn't answer. Read over the thread and you'll see there weren't any. If she wanted me to tell her what hardcore actually was, or why I didn't think any of those bands in question are/were hardcore I'd have been willing to do so, but she didn't, instead she went on the defensive, skirted the issue, then insinuated that my opinion was invalid because I had never written a gig review for AltNation. But yeah, I'm the arsehole.

Forgive me for actually thinking I'd like to make this place more welcoming to people. I've obviously been doing something wrong the last few years bothering my arse.

Have you ever been on any other forum, ever, that is not like this one, ie. older users ripping into newer ones a bit and general arguing and nastiness? I haven't. It's part of the beauty of the internet! It shows us that
everyone is a dick.

That comment is Lev core 2003 mate surely you can do better than that.
|
Ironic comment, considering your post here where you dissect people comments towards you bit-for-bit is pure Lev.

Slightly out-dated reference unfortunately, since Lovey's not watched wrestling in about 3/4 years.
The 'being wide to newer users turns them off' argument has been waging on this forum for about 4 years now, Forbes, and if you think the odd wee cheeky comment is more off-putting than the insular, bland in-jokes, 20 pages of gibbering about a night out, or anything like that then I strongly disagree. These are the reasons why I don't post as much anymore, I can say that for certain.
