Top 5 most patronising phrases used by people on this board

Post by Jackson Monk »

1. 'Deal with it'
2. 'Get over it'
3. 'Live with it'
4. 'I'm a musician and I think that stealing other people's music is cool'
5. 'Get a life and move on'

NB. Number 4 is especially irritating when there is little or no evidence to support the statement. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jackson, give it a break.

Your little cheap shots may be funny to you, but I'd appreciate it if you stopped trying to downtalk me. I could give a damn if you don't like my music. I'm damn proud of it, I feel that it gets the point across, especially since the songs were recorded in my bedroom. I get that you have a problem with me, but stop getting personal with me, please.

I don't have a problem with you at all. I have a problem meeting deadlines at work, finding the extra cash for my new car, eating sprouts. the impact you have on my life is minimal. I actually applaud your enthusiasm and for someone to set up a whole website to talk about themself shows real dedication. I am truly impressed.

I think that your taste is great. It's your taste and that is all that matters. Be true to yourself.....what a terrible phrase that is.....must have been watching too much daytime TV :lol:

(http://www.purevolume.com is a website with hundreds of bands, I didn't set up a whole website to talk about myself. i uploaded my mp3s so that they could be heard.)

Yeah, I shouldn't have expected anything more than sarcasm from you. Just leave me alone from here on out.

POP please replace your avatar with a photo of yourself. the current one is driving me mad. i used to look forward to your all too infrequent posts; now i fear them. afraid to examine closely, at first i thought he was masturbating; then i thought he was picking his nose. now i see his face is falling off. really.

I apologise, Oily, but to replace it with one of myself is not a wise thing. Hows about a hairy man wearing a bra? Just for you.

That ain't any hairy man in a bra, that's Bernard Bresslaw of Carry On fame, those bastions of English comedic cinematic culture. POP can tell you which film, sadly I can't remember. he's huge and hairy, wbut with a ridiculously meek, high voice, and normally plays the hapless innocent who's just got married but ends up horrifying his new bride by ending up in another woman's bra for reasons beyond his control.

JACKSON: I thank you for your kind words. As a lifelong spurs supporter insults are like water off a ducks back to me!

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world
And I want to have a little pride in
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what I am

...hhhmmm someone should make a song out of those words it could be a hit!! :lol:

1. "That's not even how you spell Alison... asshole."
2. "When I met him at El Mocambo, he warned me about people like you."
3. "Blood and Chocolate is a masterpiece. I should know; I cowrote it."
4. "Even Bebe says you suck."
5. "I heard even Cope Fan blushes after reading your posts".

Oh, and I almost forgot the most scathing attack that was pointed directly at me:


"You are such an idiot. I know for a fact that Diana Krall is not and never has been a member of En Vogue!"


That hurt...the condescending SOB.

Here was another zinger which appalled me.

"I forgive him for Kojak Variety. I forgive YOU for Kojak Variety. And in some strange way, I even forgive KOJAK for Kojak Variety."

That was just plain nutty!

Slagging people while they're not even around? That's a new low. For the record, I am a musician, but I don't think stealing other people's music is cool. I think paying peope for music you download is cool. And I think if an artist (say Elvis) doesn't want his music downloaded, that should be respected.

Other than that, I can't imagine why you'd associate those phrases with me. Sounds to me like plaything needs to get a life and move on. I mean, if I ever said anything to annoy you, get over it, already. Jeez. It's just words on a page. No need to be hostile. People rub each other the wrong way sometimes. No need to be snooty. Deal with it. I know what's going on here, I think. You're so upset I've been gone, you're lashing out. Well, that's sweet, if kind of sad. As I said, it wasn't personal. I'm just overly busy. And if I'm not around as much, you'll just have to live with it.

Who said I was slagging you off, noise?

We sometimes forget the power an intended (or not) :wink: holds, don't we?

Oh, and you're contradicting yourself in that first sentence: you have been/are, quite clearly, 'around'. 'Tis a silly thing to assume I thought otherwise.
