Ugh now I have The Lion Sleeps Tonight stuck in my head Thanks a lot :angry: WIMOWEH A WIMOWEH A WIMOWEH OOOO O O O O O O O OOOO O O OO OOOOOOO

If the stage isn't 360 degrees, which I believe is the case in some venues but not most, they will not sell tickets behind the stage. That would be like selling tickets to sit outside of a movie theatre.

Oh okay That's weird. He must have been really offensive or something.

Uhhh what are you guys doing?

Oh snap. You just owned New Zealand vernacular. WUT NOW VEGEMITE-EATER? Wait to New Zealanders eat Vegemite too or is that just strictly an Australian thing?

Ha Evidently they were not.

Ha, yeah. Well, Coldplay elect to release their albums via big labels. Radiohead tried to strip away from this model, and after doing so EMI released this bullshit. After they were saying in the early-2000's that they'd never release a best-of collection because it's against their values and their image. So here we are. I just don't like it because they're so ardent against it, and I really think that the artistry of a band should be dictated by its members, not its label. And I know that sounded hipster but I don't care. Coldplay are cool with the major label thing thus far, so I don't have a problem supporting it.

Anna, I feel the same way about Parachutes :disappointed: I was like 11 or something :|

Well, like Reilly has dictated, it's useless for me to talk in circles. And it's useless to continue discussing it. So, if I've ever offended anyone personally, made you feel inferior, chased you away from the boards, annoyed you, or whatever, I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to do so, and if I've impactually made a burden upon you, I sincerely apologize. I'm sorry for mocking this thread, and specifically, I'm sorry Reilly for making you explain your position to me because I just don't get stuff. But thank you for having patience. And Dee, I'm sorry for being a burden to you. If I could take back the comments I've previously made in this thread, I would. I didn't realize, again, that I was being such a headache. Finally, I'm sorry I've dragged it on. There's clearly something I don't or didn't get. I understand that no-one has asked me to be less of a dickhole, but I've made the decision to stop being a terribly invasive, obnoxious one. And I made this decision on my own. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, I'll be more than happy to do so.

I'm in St. Louis right now :uhoh: Seeing that's where I'm from and shittt

Good point :nod:

I understand no-one asked, but I see it's a problem, and I'm acting on it. Perhaps you're the one selectively reading. I'm making the autonomous decision. Like I said, I didn't know it was an issue, and, like the sovereign thinker I am, I am acting upon it. And that's the end of the story, really. I won't be SUPER nice, as, like you said, no-one is asking me to do so. But I will be nice-r. Or just not say anything when I'm about to be a dick. Which is what I'm gathering you guys want. It's no big deal: I can dilute the concentration of meanness. Furthermore, I understand that I am repeating myself and reiterating things. It's the way I understand stuff and dictate logic. But that's my prerogative, and I don't think being repetitive is a crime.

Like the forbidden forest? :anxious:

I have hair on my arms too But I'm a guy so it's whatevz

Are you furry?

Kat you should eat a cat

Something tells me the commute wouldn't be worth a slice of cheesecake

Gimme some :angry:

Yeah you're right.

Okay I'm going to break this down so that I can understand it, and everyone can understand what I'm trying to say. It's an impossibility to change the way people work. Their personalities. Their interactions. Their senses of humor. You, yourself, can be kind of rude sometimes. In fact, I didn't come onto the lounge for a long time because you would pop into the Coldplay section, use sarcasm or mock the band or someone posting about it, and leave. Sarcasm and teasing are pretty big parts of a lot of people's senses of humor. That's why I said it's an impossibility to be really nice to everyone all the time. It's a grossly gigantic assumption to think that this would work. If anyone would agree with me, it would be you. I'm not trying to be a dick, and I'm not trying to isolate people. If I am, I'll just go. I don't want to ruin everything for you guys. Nah, I don't need to "make it known" that I'm mocking the whole idea. And I will abide by your wishes. I didn't really know, again, that my being a total dick is a "cancer." Obviously "banning" Billy from a thread is impossible. This is why it was funny (funny to me, at least). Your treatment of people isn't the nicest thing in the world, either. I think we're pretty even on that front (I'm not going to point fingers, I'm just dictating that this is not something that is exclusively an issue with me. If I'm the person everyone needs to point fingers at, that's okay. I accept your points. I am not innocent. I'm saying it's impossible to change the attitudes of a large group of people. I can lighten up, but changing my sense of humor and changing my attitude and outlook isn't something that's possible. Like, if you have a cup of coffee that's too strong, you can dilute it but you can't completely rid the cup of the taste. I think this makes sense.

Okay, like I said, I'm going to make a compromise here. I'm going to turn down the obnoxiousness. I wasn't aware it was a serious "cancer" that's "killing the lounge" until now. I think you would be a lot happier with everything: This forum, specifically, if you would just relax. Dealing with a lot of different types of personalities is a big part of life, and while it can get frustrating at times, overblowing it will never work, and it may even compound the problem (this is a good example). I'm not trying to be a jackass, ever, and I just make a lot of jokes and stuff. Everyone seems to realize I'm joking, but you consistently read really deeply into it and blow it out of proportion. When I'm clearly trying to be light-hearted. You were right: People on here aren't the nicest bunch. But I like to think they have pretty good heads on their shoulders. We understand each other. Like, I love my brother, but I will never stop teasing him and he will never stop teasing me. It brings us closer, and it's how families work. The same could be applied to an online community. It would suck if everyone was super nice all the time. There would be no dynamics anymore. I can tell that everyone on here is a good person, whether it's on the surface or deeper down. And I don't think anyone, including myself, will ever mean to hurt another person on here.

I mock it because it's an impossibility. Just because one person (who is self-admitting that she's bitchy) is unhappy enough to complain about it by starting up a thread doesn't mean that she can change the nature of an online forum. It's silly. No, I won't actively mock it anymore, and I get that I can be overbearing at times. I'll quit it. I didn't know that it bothered people so much. But I'm not going to be super nice by default. When Dee came back, actually, if I remember right, I was pretty nice and cool. Like I can be LESS mean, but I'm not going to concentrate on being super nice. That's not how humans work. This thread makes me feel awkward. Or I'm making myself feel awkward. This was an unorganized post. I'm just kind of regurgitating stuff. Sorry. I really will be more bearable, though. I'll watch myself.

I refused to buy the Best Of Bullshit record company

My internets are okay I guess

oooo :surprised:
