Hi there :)
It is interesting to see how much we care about other people opinions even if the chance that we will ever meet them in real life is sooooo very slim that we could also simply ignore them. But were would be the fun then? ;)
I joined some time ago but never really took the time to post a reply as I am quite a lazy person and my English isn't really that good but I love to read threads no matter what they are about. I especially love threads where I can get pictures from the band members and I like to read what other people think about them - no matter if it is about their looks or their hobbies or their music or whatsoever. It is nice. I don't know a real live person who actually likes coldplay and with whom I could share my love for their music. Most of my friends are guys and they prefer The Prodigy or Rammstein to Coldplay. Not that I don't like their taste in music but it is kind of frustrating if you can't talk with them about your favourite band (altough I am more the kind of listener/reader than talker/writer ;)).
My point is that I think what people do like to forget is that this is a place for fans or at least people who are interested in Coldplay no matter if they are hardcore into them or not. And there is nowhere written what you have to be interested in if you are a fan of a band and join their messenger board.
You want to talk about their music? Great! Find a bunch of people who share your interest and do so. :) You want to talk about your love for a special bandmember? Wonderful! I am quite sure that there will always be enough people to be found who share your interest in them. :) You want to talk about their concerts, albums or music vidoes? Then do so because again I am quite sure that you will be lucky enough to find someone to do just that. :) You want to talk about your desire to bed some of the guys? Be my guest. Why not? Come one I seriously doubt that this is harmful - maybe a bit annoying for some people (guys and girls who are not interested in such talk) but what the heck? They always have to possibility to leave the thread or leave a stupid reply so other people can get annoyed over it and start a big discussion because of it. And we love to do that don't we? *lol*
I like coldplay and I really don't have the desire to elaborate on the reason to anyone why exactly that is the case. If I like them just for their sweet arses? So what? Sue me or think me as a lesser beeing. I so don't care. As I said before it is very unlikely that I will ever meet a single person from this messenger board in real life so why should I care about their approval or opinion about me? I don't understand why you have to explain to anyone why you like someone or something? It is none of their business. They don't have to pay for my likes or dislikes do they?
I will tell you what I think about the person who startet this thread because I feel like sharing when it comes to that. I think it is someone who like to talk and be talked to. Someone who likes to feel superior to other people for whatever reason it may be (and why not? We all do that in one way or another no matter how nice or good we are most of the time ;)). Maybe it is a loner in real life or maybe he is just frustrated and needs someplace to makes himself feel better.
Then again it could also be a person who was just bored and couldn't think of anything better to do than to start this very funny thread that moment (because heck - funny it is! When I read it I had to laugh about so many comments and insults... I kind of felt like watching my little nices with their friends when they bicker. Very entertaining and very senseless at the same time. *g*). Maybe on the other hand it is just a nice person who expressed their opinion in a wrong and quite offensive way. Who knows for sure? I don't.
Whatever the reason for the creation of this thread was in the end it is unimportant. Like every "discussion" it is something that makes you talk, talk, talk and try to convience another person of the rightfullness of your opinion (because that is what a discussion is about - you don't force your opinion on someone or at least you should not do that but you try to make him see your point) and I can just talk for myself but most of the time I stuck with my position that I am right and the other person is wrong. So this thread is a place for many persons who like to tell their opinion and get frustrated over the fact that they can't make all the other persons to see things their way. And with frustration their comes agression and with agression there comes the willingness to attack even if it is just with stupid little insults which makes one feel better. ;)
Anyway I don't want to make anyone stop from discussing their opinions about beeing a Coldplay fan or their reasons why they are allowed to call themselve fans. It is really not my place to do so seeing that I am just like the rest of you. I desire to share my opinion. *lol*
I want you to know that it really is not my intention to insult anyone so pleaso don't take it that way. I just felt the desire to write a replay on this particular thread. ;)
And to the person who start this thread (if he should ever read this which I am sure will be the case) - I can't remember your name and I am too lazy to look for it now, sorry - my opinion about you above is meant to be a little bit insulting because I really don't like your reasoning for this thread or your disrespectful way to deal with the fans in this board. If you don't like it why the hell are you here? Maybe the board is different than some years ago but things change and there are places where you don't have to read about the things you seem to dislike so much. Why do you seek it out at all if you don't like it in the first place? I mean you have to know that you annoy and insult people with that kind of posts. How old are you that you feel good about stuff like that. I don't say that the thread itself is for nothing because you can talk about that stuff but that really, really childish and inmature way you started it is outstanding for itself (not that most of the following posts are much better). No person should starts a thread with an insult within their first two posts. This is laughable seriously. :laugh3:
