 And what artistic genre does not have it's snobs? Snobs are a part of life and the people that defend them, you are excluded as you're pretty broad minded, are usually snobs themselves. Exclusivity is the cause of most metal vs. prog vs. whatever debates.

Aww right now I do not care who is right or wrong, Davesax is a nice person and for him stating he is thinking of leaving, we instead of saying I wish you well or farewell we should soften up, try to be nicer and less dismissive thus more considerate to other people's feelings, after all the main purpose we all got here together is music and this experience should be fun, great fun! A great escape and a wonderful; experience to share between us all. Big hug to you all

^Sonia, it is great to have you back hugging. I have missed it.
Normally, I would agree with you wholeheartedly. However, I got the impression that Mr Davesax was threatening to up and leave just because people do not conform with his view of the world. He might be a nice person, but that sort of attitude is hardly going to gain a lot of sympathy. BTW, this post was made on the basis of reading just a couple of pages of the thread. If I am mistaken in my understanding of the situation, then I will happily apologise. |

See Davesax's reason for leaving:
He doesn't claim to have been harrassed or bullied here. He just doesn't like people defending metal. Most comments since have been pretty considerate, I think. Edited by Polymorphia - March 30 2015 at 14:12 |

Well, just when I thought I'd seen it all... Somebody wanting his/her presence to be erased from a forum just because other members like a genre he/she dislikes
 . This kind of intolerance really does nothing to improve progressive rock's reputation. |

Lazland  mhwoaahhxxxx plus big hug thank you and more What you said is true however I think Davesax had a bad day I think because I never read anything negative from him prior to this. I am sure he will realize later today and regret what he said. We all have bad days, I do, too many hehehe and sometimes the next day I am embarrassed too
 another hug |

I am all for the main topic to continue, however considering that I am a nincompoop and a happy one I might add, besides stars etc, I still have no idea what Indus means or stands for on here? Group hug

As two people have already said: it's "Industry" - the thread title got truncated to 50 characters when David corrected the spelleng misteak - probably because he was using his phone to access the forum.

Metal is a fad. Fads are always popular but most people are way too simply pleased when it comes to music. Melodically metal is terrible

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Hi folks, no, I can confirm I've told the admins that I have left the forum and will not be posting here again. This is absolutely my last post.
Simply put, I honestly do not think that heavy metal threads on a prog rock forum are appropriate. Obviously some people are going to have contrary views - to say the least - but I was under the impression that I'd joined a prog rock forum, as the title suggests. There are plenty of other heavy metal forums on the net. Should I go on one of them and talk about Genesis, I would expect a similar response. And deservedly so. Not a case of me throwing Teddy out of the pram or leaving due to one thread, it's a combination of several factors. I came here to talk about prog rock with likeminded people. As a PS, I do agree with Dean's comments in his last post - in the main - but I wasn't referring to musical complexity but musical *worth*. All the best Dave

Cricky, a 40+year long fad... if only my home-made music was a fad I'd be quid's in.

What the hell just happened over the last couple pages? This forum's community really confuses me at times. For the most part, it's the calmest and most mature online community devoted to music discussion I've ever encountered... yet, when a flamewar erupts it's over a topic I find extremely unlikely to inspire something like this.

Why isn't prog as successful as metal as an indus
