o.k. maybe i went a bit overboard, but if someone says that something i like is crap or boring or whatever, personally i couldnt give a shit, it doesnt affect my enjoyment. I dont even hope for them to like it. (unless it was like a present or something). To me the implication was that it wasnt possible for someone to find Ae boring, unless they were taking the piss. Like 'come on man, they mean so much to me, how can you not like them...you must be trying to wind me up'... horses for courses : english phrase, similar to 'nowt as queer as folk'....just means that different people like different things.... bloody Aevangelists, the lot of yer... ;-) Jesse Injety wrote: > Alien does allow you to express your opinion, he didn't berate people who > disagreed, or said they had no right to have their opinion. he just said he > hoped it wouldn't be called boring. i hope the things i love aren't found > boring by people too, but if they do, and they say it, i guess it just sucks > a little bit. not much tho > > > snip snip snip> > > > > All I wanted to say is that I hoped Ae would not be called boring on > > > this list. > > > > > > Alien > > > > > but by your criteria (which is the only valid criteria), you must allow > > someone to express their personal opinion. > ---- > he is allowing you to express your opinion > ---- > >How can you expect > > someone not to > > call them boring if thats how they feel, personally i find them boring as > > well, or do you want this list to be a forum for mutual > > masturbation?.... > ---- > he didn't expect anyone to like Ae (or not think them boring), he said he > liked (loved i bet) Ae himself. > ---- > in> a way its similar to the argument for freedom of speech...you > > will only have > > freedom of speech when you allow people to express the views which are > > anathema to your own..... > ---- > he never disallowed you to express your views > ---- > >i understand that its hard to accept > > that something > > that speaks to you on such a level can be regarded as boring by someone > > else, but as i said before: 'horses for courses' > > it is hard to accept sometimes, but, horses for courses? wha? > > -jes > > PS you might not like the backstreet boys, and your allowed to, but i just > hope you won't call them lame ass excuses for anything having to do with > music. it'd break my heart
