The (Factually) Greatest Drummer

Wow, nothing speaks "intelligent" and "mature" like being ready to insult a person because they attacked your favorite band. IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE!! WHAT A PERSONAL OFFENSE!

Or ban you!

But rather than arguing with a punk I made a silly, meaningless joke. So sue me.

A 'yo momma' joke would be like..

Yo momma is so boring she thinks the latest Dream Theater CD is exciting.

(Ed. Note.. I don't think it is boring, just making a point.)

Exactly - I purposely made a "yo mamma" joke that doesn't actually say...anything. And then three people demanded I apologize...for saying nothing. Wow, that's what you find inexcusable around here....

When three (or four) different people of different nationalities and ages advise you to appologise don't you think that just perhaps maybe you've made a mistake and just perhaps maybe it would be better to appologise than try and give excuses?

I didn't say DT were boring. I said the latest album was "Punk"! Still incites needless arguments, punk. I'm sorry, you are quite right. I'll keep my opinion to myself. You obviously are to immature to handle a different opinion. I used to think you were  an Ok person. I am sadly mistaken.

I don't care if you think DT, or any of their albums, are boring. But to enter into a discussion of how multiple people love something and abruptly state that it is boring is kind of an argument starter, and it's not like we don't have enough of those around either.

My wife doesn't care much for DT or any of their albums. But she also doesn't walk up to me and my buddies when we're talking about our appreciation of them and say "hey, just thought you'd wanna know that I think all their songs sound the same and are boring. Just thought I'd interrupt your conversation to offer that helpful opinion."

I have been criticizing DT for a long time, but have never really invested time in listening to them, so last night I went on youtube and listened to Octavarium.

Opinion confirmed: they are boring.

Have you not looked at Ian's LastFM signature or read any of his previous posts? He is a DT fan, just like many of us who have posted here, we just don't think everything they've done is good or great.
