I'm only kidding. I guess I'm always the guy with the comment in is head that just says it no matter how dumb it may be to others.

I am finding alot of these kind of topics in the forums and am getting a little tired of it all.
There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism of a band or artist,as long as it's backed up with some reasonable explanation.Bashing is just senseless and a waste of time.I also consider it baiting,where you are intentionally posting negative comments to deliberately elicit negative reactions and angry responses.And that is against the forum rules and guidelines.So enough is enough.

do you think about these meaningless polls beforehand or do you just write anything and everything?
I'm all for a good time on a laid back website but this is becoming ridiculous man.

Tell me what is becoming ridiculous.... This poll? Off course!! That's the point! A ridiculous poll about a ridiculous thing like bashing and bashing....
Or you are in only for the serious matters?
I HATE bashing now... I used to bash when I first got into PA... I see it's pointless.... But what's so awful in trying to see what people answer about that ridiculous practice?
And no, I don't think long beforehand, just a couple of minutes.... The thinking is mainly reserved for interesting topics and reviews... Polls are useless any way... Or hey, they have a use: entertainment. Especially the non-prog polls....
Go say that about the "blue vs red" polls... I'm all for those...I'm all for fun...But i think this one has more meaning....

I try not to bash. If I do seem to bash I add something that might back up my opinion. I like heated discussions but not bashing anyone or anything purposefully.
