If you knew the setlists would be this bad?

The setlist would be awesome if I didn't contain any Lost Highway songs, apart from Make A Memory.

I hope we get a better setlist than last time. I would see them no matter what. Bon Jovi singing Bon Jovi songs, of course I will pay money to see them no matter they choose to sing.

Well, there's 2 existing threads and 1 I created with a poll. If that's an issue, then merge them into 1.

For 10 years it's been the same story, "Seb shouldn't do this, but...."

I'm just calling it like it is. Message boards are like Survivor. The producers of the show don't want the person who pisses everyone off voted off the island because it makes good TV, thus bringing in more viewers.

Actually, I've stopped the name calling a few years ago. Just try to find a post of me from this year in which I'm calling someone a twat or anything like this. Sure, the desire is there, I just no longer do so. Just browse back in this topic, all I do is post a link in a topic in which you're expression your happiness towards the band which goes against your posts lately, and your first response is to resort to name calling and insulting me. And yet, according to you, I'm the one who starts the slinging. Sure, I'm critical, but I'm not miserable. Currently, you seem to be both.

It's like I said; if you're in your happy period you'll slam everyone who isn't, yet if you're unhappy you slam everyone who is. But your response when someone says something about this? More name calling, more insults, and as soon as a mod steps in and tells you not to do so you start acting like a crybaby. "Seb is allowed to do it but I ca-a-a-a-ant...". No, Seb isn't allowed to do so either, but he follows the rules, and you don't. Despite Captain_jovi not agreeing with me, all I do is post my opinion on your behavior on this board lately in a rather normal, polite way.

The real issue here is you not being able to take part in a normal discussion on a messageboard and your general refusal to accept the consequences of your behavior. You focus on your insults and frustration first as opposed to just taking in what's being said, as opposed to focussing on what you think is being said. If you can't deal with people quoting you and calling you out on the things you're saying, then a message board just isn't the place for you. Your incapabilty to pick up on sarcasm and irony is mind-boggling sometimes, which are, coïncidentally, all symptoms leading back to someone suffering from bipolar behavior.

So that's really the difference between you and me. I know where to draw the line, and you don't.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Gotcha!

Out of interest, do you believe that Sebs posts on this thread are any more insulting towards you than your multiple posts over the last few days have been to the board's South American population?

You're both as bad as each other. Short of censoring or deleting virtually every post you both make, what exactly is it you're expecting? You two have been going at each other for years, so you are the only ones who can stop it. Didnt you once have each other on the ignore list? Whatever happened to that?

Personally, I find it best to just let you get on with your mutual fixations on each other and only step in if it gets nasty - which I dont believe this topic has, yet.

That's not the only difference between you and I Seb.

The thing with me is, my feelings for the band flow with the current direction they are in or what they are doing. I don't just hate what they do for the sake of hating them, or love everything they do for the same reason. They release, what I feel, is a good album. I praise them for it. They put on a bunch of lackluster shows. I criticize them for it. My mind isn't geared to only love or hate something.

You've had battles with more posters than anyone else on this board. You've probably driven away more posters on this board than one can count. Doesn't work with me. I don't fall for your dancing around words to hide who you are. I KNOW who you are. I've been here for 10 years. Yes, you stopped the name calling, because the Mods won't have it anymore. But you still insult and mock others in a way that you can get away with.

You want to keep dancing? No problem with me. My feet aren't sore in the least bit my friend.

Then take both of your "dancing" to PM, because pages of your pissing matches drive people away as well.

First off, I explained the whole South American rude behavior posts quite a few times, and apologized for stereotyping. What more would you like me to do? And I'm not throwing my insults at anyone on this board. I'm throwing them at a specific group of 1 country's population, and it's not crap I'm making up for the sake of hurting someone's feelings.

What you fail to mention is that it's not just me that Seb has been at it with for years. It's several posters. Outside of an occasional difference of opinion (typical for a message board), I have no problems with anyone else here. I'm not saying he should be banned. Only trolls need be banned. But to point me out and say "You two have this problem, you both are the same", that's BS and you know it.

Personally, I think Seb just dances around the insult, covering it up, and the Mods just don't get it, or can't be bothered to read all of his drivel. In that respect, he's smarter than I. I just don't give a crap to do that.

But, you are correct. The ignore button is there, and for everyone's well being (most importantly, the good of the topic), I will use it. Also, for the fact that I know being a Mod is a thankless job, and I'm sure you have better things to do than babysit the 2 of us.

Agreed.

However, Seb disabled his PM a while back.

There you go:

Buddy / Ignore Lists
To remove a user from either the Buddy or Ignore Lists, un-tick the box next to their name and click the 'Save List' button.

To add a user to either list, enter their name in the empty boxes for that list and click 'Save List'.
