Mark,
Please, if you can spare a few of those powerful braincycles, could you go
into a little more detail on how I'm not Nobel laureate material? I'd
also like to know more about your opinions about Americans - why is it
that we're idiots? I'd like to be a little more self-aware so that some
day (and what a glorious day that would be) I could rise out of the mire
of Americanism to the intellectual heights that you have so obviously
attained.
I just failed the turn-the-other-cheek test.
Up until the past couple weeks, I enjoyed being on this list. It was an
interesting place to pick up information about bands, i discovered pdx-pop
through this list, and i made a couple friends.
I'm not sure why people have been arguing so much lately, but I don't
think that my post warrented the response I got.
Mark, you're being a jerk. I don't care to be attacked for sharing an
experience. Saying that you think fight clubs are dumb is one thing, but
calling me an idiot for going to one is looking for a fight.
I've been on quite a few mailing lists where crap like these arguments
about censorship and spontaneous attacks on people who post to the list
lead fairly quickly to list-implosion, and no one posts anything of
substance ever again. I'm contributing to it.
