I avoid the footy and show yourself most of the time with just the odd check out every so often.

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 suppose I could have picked on other people but thems the breaks and yes as I've also said it wasn't a great tattoo but I guess I apply my old mums rules mostly. If you can't say something nice don't say anything...though I tend to change it to If you can't say something nice, at least make it constructive.

Sorry got carried away with my top 5 metal tunes

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.

It's just punk, enough of this Hardcore, Emo, Goth, Ska...it's PUNK you whacky kids and your new genres!

I'd argue that genres aren't as clean cut as you make out.

Not that mrs_tress knew that (though I did mention it in the first post), but I thought it was obviously a joke anyway.

Sorry mate not so down with the in jokes and new users certainly would have no clue, much the same as they would have little clue of the way you are on the forum.

But yeah, I'm the arsehole.

I'm pretty sure she asked you what you thought the top 5 were and you skirted it but we could probably both disect that thread to pieces and get no where. Course if you'd been decent in the first place and just said, I don't think those bands are hardcore but really metal then you might have got a better response. You could have offered an opinion rather than what you did. I suppose we have different way of appoaching things.

Yeah there are a good few technical forums that are pretty decent and don't have people being dicks for a cheep laugh. I'm not saying it should never happen I'd jsut like it to happen a little less.

I Lev.

Does he not still wrestle or like it any more? As I said not a lot changes when you grow up I've found you still like what you like and do what you enjoy.

These are the reasons why I don't post as much anymore, I can say that for certain.

Bland injoke? Like Top 5 honesty thread . I know what you mean though but you got to start some place and the tattoo forum doesn't have in-jokes, 20 pages of going out gibberish. I guess we have to focus on making small parts better and that should up the rest of the quality, plus you were a good part of those 20 pages of gibbering a few years ago when you were a main stay clubber here along with mr injoke hoody etc.

Anyway I'm just on the wind up now. I've made my point that I thought you acted like a dick in here, it's no big deal really after all I'm just another person on the internet but as the "big boss" of the forum I do feel at times I have to stick up for the new users a bit more because most other people won't, I guess I always expect the older users to have a bit thicker skins and be able to take it a bit rather than just be on the giving side.

As big Ari Gold would say...Let's hug it out bitch!
