Personally I think there's too little moderation here for things like people attacking others but it's hooplas way and as a member, I abide by that.

That's my favorite part about this forum. It's keeping the shitposters away because they see they can't hide behind mods and quite frankly, some people just need to hear it over and over about how awful they are.

That’s pretty interesting that he was able to pull those quotes and make such a great song out of it.

Inspiration is inspiration and there are songs that make it big out of some kind or another. Another great protagonist perspective song is "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan. That was her way of dealing with a serious stalker issue she was dealing with at the time and the song is delivered from the stalker's perspective.

Said stalker wound up taking her to court over the song and songwriters everywhere held their breath until the judge took Sarah's side in the argument.

Yea, that is part of the self policing aspect though. Shaming people out of their stupidity helps keep it moving. People will either be able to handle some shit talking or they will run and cry like that Jenner peach twat.

But you have some that shaming doesn't work with. The moron just banned shows that. All they care is they are creating havoc and enjoy it, don't care if people shame them.

For people like that, you need mods who kick them to the curb.

And for those with strong personalities who ride roughshod over those who dont.

Seen it on rivals, seen it here where some think its okay to be nasty because it's allowed.

I like the freer rein but you have idiots like moron who don't care and keep up their nasty ways until they bring the whole thread down.

When one person can dominate a thread to the point of ruining it for all, they need to go.

Not everyone here wants to fight and hurl insults.

It is the internet with words on the screen. It is simple to scroll. No need for anything extra here our mods have done a fantastic job. No need for more ever.

Yes, I know. It was swift. I have not left SO, but wanted to see what this place was all about. What happened hasn't been easy to take, but I can't help thinking we will get things back in order.

This isn't some made for tv movie, this is real life.

We are NOT going to get things "back in order". There are a lot NOT coming back, no matter if Rivals threw open their doors.

Time to face reality, Rivals shit the bed. The new reality is a few may post in both places if they get reinstated but the place we once knew is GONE.

You must have missed the part where I said they are two different sites with different philosophies.

I don't agree but SportsHoopla is what it is. I'll deal with that until it becomes unacceptable to me, then I'll leave. Simple as that .

I won’t be coming back, sheluvs. I’m not even sure what I was banned for, but I’m not one to rebuild burned bridges. I’m here now and planning to stay, tell @huskerlivinTN I said to stop by and say hello from time to time; the Music Forum is pretty cool over here.

Well, I can't blame you. I am sure you will be missed. I hope this will be a good place to be for you.

No, but it’s a perk to get to hammer the shit out of Mono and the like.

I still did it on Rivals, but was “shamed” for it. Here, I can tell the little troll to go screw a hornet nest and he just has to take it.

:D

True. I just find those kind of stories about how some songs came to be very interesting and bring a deeper meaning when you hear why the artist used the words in the way they used them.

Sometimes you get a cool backstory. Other times you get "Cherry Pie" by Warrant which was scribbled on either a napkin or toilet paper and went on to become this big hit and the bane of Jani Lane's existence until he died.

Very true. How did you get into music and finding out so much about it?
