But I'd like to say though that I (don't want to speak for you) haven't felt this discussion has gotten personal. There have been some instances lately where I felt like people were rude to each other about something they disagreed about and that really bothered me. You can have a discussion and have differing opinions without name calling.
So thanks for that.
i feel like that was happening a lot when some newbies were testing the waters....poor newbies! ;P |

LOL! I just thought you were only half reading it and that's why you didn't get it. I am often joking and sarcastic so this isn't the first time people didn't realize I was being serious. |

Amen brother! And I love that you know that phrase. Though of course all sorts of groups have now personalized it and made it lame. "Keep Austin Reading", "Keep Austin Biking", etc.
It's a bit much. |

hoorah for anyone who does not take every single thing on this board personally!! Just read weirdmum and steves posts. It is great to see people actually talking things through on a different (grown up almost, lol) level.
It hooked me cause i see a lot of "the not listening to each other and not being open to appologies" happing at work at the moment, which sucks donkeyballs. sorry for the all soft and mellow comment (My excuse is: it is afterall early in the morning here:) |

It has nothing to do with drooling over them or screaming 'omgz I love you', I just want to get the full experience, and be able to take good pics from the front.
they don't look any clearer at the front, and even if they do, so what?! so you can see that they are deffiantely smiling at this point, or his head is slightly to the less at this point, you still know that there are singers and 'musicians' sitting at their instruments, playing them and singing...usually on about the same spot of the stage...thats just so weird (to me) that anyone would care if theyre at the front or what - I mean fair enough you mightn't want to be stuck so you can barely make them out at the back of T in the Park, but in an average concert hall or whatever - whats the difference?! |

You haven't even acknowledged that the sound is completely different at the front compared to the back in most venues. |

don't be so bloody judgemental! as long as the band don't mind why should anyone else?
and at least they don't spend their time posting bulletins taking the piss out of people who support the band who's messageboard you're writing on...
it's getting hell boring. even if it is a joke. |
