January 17, 200719 yr Have you really built me up as some 2-dimensional character that is enfuriated when he sees Gwyneth Paltrow pictures? Not at all. Actually, you strike me as being quite intelligent. But what's the harm in posting a few pictures of Gwyneth in a thread called 'Gwyneth'?:rolleyes:
January 17, 200719 yr Sorry, I figured since the past few hours have been a back and forth that 4 pictures accompanied by :P was directed at me.
January 17, 200719 yr What IS your point? That you're going nowhere with this whole argument, that you're making yourself look completely ridiculous, and that you should stop caring so much about it. But hey, you can do what you want. You're only entertaining people that much more.
January 17, 200719 yr That you're going nowhere with this whole argument, that you're making yourself look completely ridiculous, and that you should stop caring so much about it. But hey, you can do what you want. You're only entertaining people that much more. Only the simple minded would be entertained by me continually asking for an answer to a question.
January 17, 200719 yr You call me a fool for continuing to post in this thread, but at least I'm posting with intent. I honestly do want to discuss this point. Why do you continue to reply to me if you're not going to touch upon that question? Tom, you've 'discussed' this over and over again and lots of people have given their view, agreeing and disagreeing with you. The point of disussion and debate is that you actually LISTEN to other people's points and accept that sometime people can have different views to you, and it doesn't mean they are stupid people. All you have done since you got on this board is preach - not debate. There is a BIG difference. Perhaps you should think about they way you argue you points, as it's not winning you any respect. I disagreed - but respected - your opinion when you first raised your concerns, but now I just think you're just trying to be smug... The owner of the site has given his view on the matter and, as a visitor to their site, you should respect their final decision and accept that people have different views. Or find another Coldplay site that shares your view... or find something new to go on about... :\
January 17, 200719 yr Because it's a bigger issue with me than 'different views'. 'Different views' is arguing which of Coldplays albums is the best. That's fine. In my opinion, this celebrity worship is unhealthy and something fans of the band need to realize. If Chris Martin had some housewife, none of you would care and rightfully so. The mother of Chris Martins children has nothing to do with his music. But because he happened to marry a celebrity, the same unhealthily obsessed fans who write band fiction can now branch their obsession further outwards into tabloid fodder gossip. I mean, what if Chris Martin was a fan of motorcycles and bought a bike company? Would the yearly stock report be something to discuss here? NO. I'm really amazed at how many of even the seemingly intelligent people here miss this. There is SO little music discussion that goes on here and the obvious question is "then why do you continue to post here?" and it's because I LIKE the band and there aren't too many large message boards like this one. You've all built up in your minds 'Coldplay the thing', that involves celebrities, fictional stories, photo galleries and all sorts of shit and almost disavowed Coldplay the band. I'm leaving the site because there's simply no discussion here of Coldplays music, even in the release section of the site. I knew that Coldplay was a lot more mainstream than most of the bands I'm into, but holy shit. You all strike me as tweens.
January 17, 200719 yr I knew that Coldplay was a lot more mainstream than most of the bands I'm into, but holy shit. You all strike me as tweens. This is totally beside the point. Whether people get obsessive about a band doesn't have anything to do with how mainstream they are.
January 17, 200719 yr I've gotta hand it to the guy though. He really did allow me to refresh my debating skills. :lol:
January 18, 200719 yr Gwyneth looks like the gates of hell would look like if they personified themselves.
