>And before you say, "that's not what I meant--of course he should try, just >in a different way," my question is, why didn't you say that in the first >place? you know what, i agree with everything you say here, but not quite so passionately. not because i'm not passionate, but because i think the IDM list is not quite like real life, where everything you say should be believed passionately. yeah, i dissed alex, but because dissing is fun. i mean, i didn't really think anybody was MEAN to him (save maybe wells but we all know what wells is like and i think we all get a kick out of it, or we should. he's a real character, a list personality). i was trying to have a bit of fun. it really made me feel great when about ten people came back with very matter of fact replies of, "uhh.. music is subjective. you can't criticize Alex for trying." i had underestimated the list and thought people either would just laugh along with us pranksters or apathetically scroll to the next listing of what's playing on various college radio stations (that's always the most interesting part, you know). but people (not in a radical, inflamed way, let me add) let us pranksters know that anti-intellectualism isn't cool, and i think this whole ordeal was worth it just to reinforce anyone's faith that the *I* most certainly SHOULD be there... just look at how UNapathetic and UNunintellectual the majority of responses were. i'm not recanting what i said, don't get me wrong. i can't speak for others but if you look back at my post, you'll see i was making fun of myself, too, with a references to the WWF attempting to point out my sarcasm. i don't think anything that awful was said, but i can understand why you're reacting the way you did. we've just got a lot of different personalities here, some of us like to take advantage of an exposed crotch, others don't. i don't think any hard feelings should be harbored either way. love, rjck/xxxxxxxx@xxxx/cex _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
