Re: Michelle Shocked has lost her mind
And no, no need to go around in circles; I get what you're saying, reject your take on what I'm doing and your advice, and will no longer respond to you on this topic. I'm glad you said your piece, but I don't accept what you're telling me or your seeming suggestion that I just sit silently by while people ruin threads for their own amusement or insult other people. I have paid attention to what you have to say, I appreciate your (mostly) respectful tone, but no, I don't think you get it, and I am absolutely not convinced you're not blinkered from your long-running familiarity with the people whose rudeness I took issue with. (I like the way you minimized his out-of-nowhere "Who the fuck is Michelle Shocked?" and the way he EDITED his second comment after I responded to it, which is telling when it comes to your credibility and just how seriously I should take what you're saying as being in good faith.) What you're saying doesn't jibe with the reality of what I saw go down, so I'm going to continue to comment as appropriate when people try to drive threads off the road or are malicious. Not because I imagine it will bring them into line (the opposite, probably), but because it's all I can do to at least not leave that stuff unquestioned, and to leave a trace for other newbies or more considerate, less pushy, belligerent, and narcissistic members that it's not always so monolithic and nepotistic here.

I will respond to the rest sometime tomorrow. Going to sleep. Like your new sig by the way.

Re: Michelle Shocked has lost her mind
Is it really suprising that someone who chooses to call herself Michelle Shocked is a bit mentally unbalanced?

I'd like to thank gogogo31 for breathing some new life into the music forum. Think you can spice up Book Talk next? Just look for any threads with wm Lopez posts.

Re: Michelle Shocked has lost her mind
You got angry at Tarantino asking who Shocked is.
You did the sarcastic "google" response.
He responded, calling Shocked an idiot bigot while doing so, that he knows what google is.
If you would have left it there, no problem in the thread.
Then you got smarmy with Tarantino
Foo, the loon he is, thanked you for being the moral pillar of the forum.
Anger unfurled.
The rest is our discussion.
As for you wanting only comments on here to be the way you want them to be... I wouldn't really know where to start.
EDIT: My homosexual reference was do to the original content of the Shocked story. The bitterness you showed would have been relevant if a forum member would have ridiculed homosexuals. But showing that much anger and distaste over "who" and "I know what google is"... I mean come on.

On topic though. So gogogone is raving against the world and has specifically turned his ire toward 'Terrible Tarantino', 'Lunatic Lt. Ripley' and 'Foo Loon'. Oh and he was bitching at 'Krazy Ky-fi' in the hottest chick in music thread (along with me again...lol)
WHO'S NEXT? CAN ANYONE OF US ESCAPE HIS WRATH?!
I think we should send him over to start posting on Youtube Videos and see how that goes.

Re: Michelle Shocked has lost her mind
As a metalhead, having musicians like Michelle Shocked and Moe Tucker go off like this makes me feel less embarrassed about Dave Mustaine and Blackie Lawless.
If a sexually ambiguous folk singer can go homophobic born again and a member of the Velvet Underground can support the Tea Party, it can happen to anyone.

My reactions to this thread:
1. I'm uncomfortable conflating someone who says "God hates ****" with "red state intolerance". It implies that Republicans in general stand for this kind of thing. Understand, I'm not defending Michelle Shocked's comments, just disputing that she is representative of Republicans as was implied.
2. I'm uncomfortable with labling Mo Tucker "mouth foaming" because she attended a few Tea Party rallys. To me, the Tea Party has been routinely demonized and mischaracterized by the media to such a degree that many people believe that only a raging ignoramous would agree with any portion of the Tea Party platform.
To me, both comments are examples of the casualness with which many people these days dismiss and denegrate any right of center opinion. They assume agreement on these sentiments. This is no less annoying than people on the right who assume "everyone knows" that everyone on the left is a deluded commie.

"Anchorage" is always on the muzak at work, they play the same 40 songs over and over, it drives me nuts. My job my be bearable if I could have tolerable music in the background, I swear....Anyway, that's the only thing of her's I could name you. I thought it was the name of a band rather than an individual, to be honest.
