You're right, but silent protest doesn't quite have the ferocity of a couple of clicks!

Though I cannot say that it's a terrible album, I just have never gotten into ITCOTCK, maybe too many hushed sequences on my original LP that made it difficult to hear exactly what was going on. I'm also not a very big fan of the second album, but the string of albums from Island (my personal fave) to Red is astounding, maybe the best LP run of any prog band ever.

There was no question mark at the end of the post which would have implied I expected an apology.

^I read Leary's post as him asking you to apologize as well, so we both made that error. Typed discussions certainly are a problem.

I thought you wanted me to apologize, which is another problem with typed discussions. I accept your apology and it is very gracious of you to offer it.

I am not looking to fix anything I offered a sincere apology and acceptance is up to you.

Yeah, I was looking back over this thread and couldn't find any reference to Dylan. This is why/how PA becomes mystifying.

You forgot that you went off a tangent that jumped from thread to thread and was the instigator. This is the type of thing I was referring to. As I said, there's no easy way to fix a problem like this.

You bring up arguing quite a lot Terri, so I take it that it bothers you. Yes, it's true that many hide behind the safety of a PC keyboard and all the rest of that. It's also a matter of people not understanding the dynamics of a chat room discussion which can be taken out of context. I might offer a leading question to someone stating I saw a young rock star before he was famous and not let on that I was only a kid at the time, waiting for the person I was talking to question this before another member post's about something different derails the conversation. Someone else who catches my midstream discussion, that's been cut off, questions how I could have seen such a big star before he's popular, not realizing that I could not complete my statement. Broken up conversations and taking things out of context is one problem. The next is that the inquisitive other member doesn't ask me to clarify my statement before declaring it to be BS and telling me so.
So long, story short, most of these squabbles could be avoided with a question instead of an accusation. How to rectify that is a question with no easy answer, I suppose.

I questioned your claim of seeing Bob Dylan. After your explanation I accepted your statement as true. I was not going to accept your claim blindly. I called you no names nor did I personally attack you. The end line was you posting a picture of troll spray which was humorous. I have been here a long time and have heard some outrageous claims. How about a sincere apology if this is important to you or even if it is not.

^No, this doesn't bother me at all, and perhaps a dialogue of this type can help to erase some of these bumps in the road.

it seems to me most of these squabbles could be avoided by people not taking offense unnecessarily and without waiting to ask questions (I certainly concede that point). I don't mind a good argument, myself, but I find that often when I am interested in a topic it gets highjacked by a quarrel that seems to spring out of nowhere, and then no one returns to the topic. A lot of people on this site do seem to be in a hurry to misunderstand and impugn everyone's motives. I'm fine personally with assuming that people mean well until they provide me with clear evidence that they do not (you know who you are). As some of you noted, you share an on-line history that I don't know or understand. That's cool, I was just pointing out how it appears to a new PA member, and I hope you all don't mind if I occasionally ask for the backstory when curiosity gets the better of me.

Come on! What would hipsters go for - Black Metal or Christian Rock? |
Tough choice.

Seems straightforward to me: of these classics, which is less a cornerstone of the prog rock pantheon--if any--and argue the point. But perhaps old-fashioned debate without personal attacks is more than one can expect, even from the intelligence I routinely encounter on this site. |
On this forum we do occasionally get childishness ... and arrogance. We can't have perfection.

Sounds like two different groups of people to me.
