I know exactly what you're getting at mate, I was merely hinting that it's not ironic at all, as for a start, those kinds of discussions don't even exist on this forum. I saw your post as another way of launching an attack on Death on a Stick, and just think you're wasting your time. ;)Quote:

I Can't believe this discussion is still going, and it's decended into pointless bickering at the fact that Death on a Stick is completely taking the mick, and you're all getting so riled about it... do none of you lot have anything better to do, or even have the imagination to talk about something worth talking about? I'm not trying to have a major dig, it's just all a bit pathetic, the last 3 pages of drivel I've read in this thread... Move on, Move on...
Well I guess victory is yours. Well done.
...this threads funny as funk! :dance:
Oooooh, what do I win?? :cool:
Allow me to make an observation about you: You are ignorant.Quote:

@ crime...nope, nothing better to do. Not right now, anyway.
Fergie on Radio 1. Now he's the master of funky techno...
;)
Now thats what i call techno!! ;) :roll: :lol:
He's spot on mate! He plays all the latest funky techno from "The greatest funky techno album in the world...ever! part 3"
Ryan you win a medal. :)
DOAS, it doesn't matter what your favourite type of music is because I bet you I can find a group of people who will treat your music with the contempt you treat 'funky' techno.
Excellent!!!Quote:

OK, thanks, you've confirmed my initial observation.Quote:

Could you also explain to me how you came upon the notion that I hold funky techno in contempt? Could you perhaps hypothesise as to why I would have recommended multiple examples of music that I hold in contempt?
Think before you type. Or are you in fact someone who talks before they've remembered that they don't actually have the ability to think? Please don't judge me according to your own ignorance.
*yawn*
Well, I assumed that because you're in the hard techno forum that your pretty big into that style of music. Then I realised that the point I was making didn't really have to rely on any particular type of music at all, so I broadened its scope. Comments I've heard about hard techno from the glitch techno scene about this style include that 'It's lowest common denominator techno', that 'it's mindless noise', that it's 'only for people off their faces on drugs' etc etc ad naseum. I don't agree with those views but you always get wankers like that who piss on other genres like that.
Btw, if you think ad hominum arguments strengthen your case they don't, they make you look like a person who has difficulty engaging in an intelligent debate.
innit mateQuote:

Surely an intelligent thing to do in a debate is to pay attention to what people are saying and respond to that, rather than making assumptions and basing your arguments on concocted scenarios that have no relevance? If I've insulted you it's because you made haughty observations about my posts that served only to show that you hadn't understood them.Quote:

I don't belong to any one scene. Me being on this forum or that forum displays no commitment or loyalty to one genre or another. I see the good and the bad everywhere and I'll point out both when I see it. It's people who feel the need to identify themselves with one thing in particular that are worthy of the tag "purist" and on this forum especially I'm probably one of the last people you could justify tarring with that brush. Some of the narrow mindedness displayed here regarding variety in music is astounding. As has been observed here already, those who drag the "purist" smear out most often are the exact same people who are most deserving of it themselves.
