So why did you write "I would appreciate a bit more respect to the artists in this forum", then? I mean, everyone has a right to say disrespectful things to artists, obviously. So saying disrespectful things is fine, then, right? I mean, you do it and then when people react angrily to your doing it you start new threads complaining about how unfair everybody is being, instead of reflecting on the fact that maybe there was something wrong with the stuff you wrote. So you evidently don't see any problem with being disrespectful towards artists. But then why would you ask other people to be more respectful towards artists? You're sending very mixed messages here - perhaps you could clear things up once and for all?

Sorry, but you seem to have misconstrued my question. I wasn't asking about sharing your opinion - obviously everybody here is entitled to share their opinion of any music that's on-topic - I was asking about being disrespectful. Really? You don't think that accusing him of using the Pleiadians name to get "hits" or being "dumb" is disrespectful? You don't think that calling him a "wannabee", calling his music "uncreative", "copy and paste" and "cheese" and accusing him of being a sellout is disrespectful? But you do think that these three posts are disrespectful. Riiiight. Should he add that the people who have different thoughts about it don't know what music is, too? Wait, I'm confused. When did you ever say disrespectful things to Filteria and his music? I only remember the things I mentioned above, which weren't disrespectful at all, right? Are you?

That doesn't answer my question. So why did you write that you were angry about the "Filteria worship"? Tell you what, let's make a deal: I'll think about it if you answer my question. Is it OK for the rest of us to write disrespectful things about the artists who post on this forum if we're angry about their music, or is it only OK when you do it?

How about just answering my question, radi? Oh, really? That's OK then. As long as you're angry about the fact that people like music you don't like, you can be as disrespectful as you want to the artists without any negative consequences. Perhaps you could clear something up for me, though - does this rule apply to people other than you? When you wrote that you "would appreciate a bit more respect to the artists in this forum", are we allowed to disrespect artists if we're sufficiently angry that other people like their music, or is that only okay when you do it?

Thanks.

Your Mileage May Vary. Used on the internet to mean that not everyone will necessarily share the speaker's experience.

Huh. I've seen Hallucinogen live and it sounded pretty much exactly like listening to the CD as far as I could tell. YMMV. Shpongle live was great, though.

When you wrote that you "would appreciate a bit more respect to the artists in this forum", are we allowed to disrespect artists if we're sufficiently angry that other people like their music, or is that only okay when you do it? Right, none at all. I mean, some people seemed to think that Filteria's first album sounded more like Pleiadians than the prog & fullon that dominated the scene back in 2004, but those people were obviously wrong, because there aren't any similarities at all between Filteria and Pleiadians. None whatsoever.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Brainwavz M5. Though you're better off reading Head-Fi than asking here.

How the hell is it "fake"? You wrote a bunch of very insulting stuff about an artist who is also a psynews member - attacking both his music and him personally - and you did it a few weeks ago. For you to then complain about the lack of respect that other people allegedly show artists on this forum is absolutely flabbergasting. If you don't like people calling you out for acting like a twat, then you're more than welcome to stop acting like a twat.

You can see what radi thinks is wrong with Filteria in this thread. You'll also see how incredibly hypocritical radi was being when he wrote "I would appreciate a bit more respect to the artists in this forum".

My, that was a pleasant surprise. I had Siouxsie and the Banshees written off as a punk band. Any other tracks by them you'd recommend?

I'm flattered, but after four years of unemployment the money is almost gone.

Indeed. He did win the contest, after all.

KDD is continually pushing the envelope.

I like it.

Hello D3lirious, welcome back.

Oh yeah, my dad uses that site, so I should have thought of it.

Yes.

That's kinda ambiguous. Do you mean the one in front or behind?

I heard that too, from Nemo IIRC.
