MH is right- this is classic bully behavior. Dude with 45,000 posts who knows he has a crew who will defend him laughs at people expressing an alternative opinion. Sure, it's not going to hurt VG at all, but it's going to affect other posters who are more sensitive to that, and who have multiple times made that clear. Get over yourself, trag. When you talk about what you know, we listen, but you are better than this.
Where was my crew when you called me a condescending prick for a post I was making fun of trag about and you thought it was about you? How's the air up there?
Relax- no one called you a prick. This is how the conversation went:

tragabigzanda: Ok who are the Porch castoffs that showed up to rank this at five stars? Reveal yourselves
RockPusher: That's a shit thing to say, man. I gave it a 5 because I fucking love it.
E.H. Ruddock: What he wants to know is, do you love it because it’s good or because it’s Pearl Jam?
RockPusher: What the fuck do you think you condescending punk? Because it's good.


That was exactly what I'm talking about- bully behavior by trag, and you leaping to his defense. And FWIW, implying that I could only like it because it's Pearl Jam (i.e. I'm a sheeple) is condescending punk behavior, and those words came from you, not trag.

It is reasonable to believe "eye for an eye" is the best course of action to take in the face of heated disagreement, but it is not the most diplomatic or productive amongst your available choices

Lol condescending punk behavior. I guess my joke about the Porch and trag's post didn't land. Had nothing to do with you other than you posted in response to him. But I'm not going to get in to semantics, because I was informed earlier that I don't know proper ways to post/converse. This is wild shit man. I can't wait for the album to come out. I'm going to spam the shit out of the album thread.

This purely a reference to these two users spamming a new album thread. Harmless is averaging 6.5 posts per page (rough estimate)!

I'm honestly not trying to be combative, I just really don't get what we're driving at here. Sorry team.
