I don't mean for this to sound judgemental or 'soapboxish' .. but no matter what our intentions are..they are always going to be taken personally..different..by someone..
I have always been how I talk..nothing to do with my current situation..
Some of us go through really bad things and end up being very negative and some of us end up being very thankful for what we have.
There are some people here who have been through some really bad things..I don't know if they were always so hard on people/mean/negative..etc..I used to think that if everyone went through something bad..they would end up coming out of it being happy for what they have..being thankful for a second chance..being kinder..realizing what matters..etc..
Everyone is different..everyone handles things differently..and I am still trying to understand that..while still being blown away how some people can still be so mean..angry..negative..either they always were..or ended up becoming this way..almost bitter..instead of taking the other route of being grateful for what they still have.
Some people are just going to be who they always are..no matter what happens to them good or bad.
The way people go after each other here..and most times just for an opinion on a music group is just mind blowing..sometimes it doesn't seem just in fun. I have been completely blown away at times what someone else has told someone else..and just over an opinion on something like a lead singer..WOW
Everyday we've got people sick from diseases such as cancer..losing everything from things such as tornados..and people in much worse situations than most of us..and yet most times we are calling each other horrible things..posting only things for shock value or things we know will get a reaction. If there's a topic posted on something good or positve..it might get only like eight reactions.
Is it just that the passion gets way to strong or this is place you can come and let out your anger about everything..unload on someone..and think it doesn't matter because it's just cypberspace.
In light of what really matters and what is really going on..80% of the stuff that gets people going off here..REALLY doesn't matter..and I have never understood how far..over something that doesn't really matter..someone will go to tell someone to go F themselves or hope they die. Most cannot just post their opinion and be happy about that..they have to come back over and over througout the thread and just keep raking on anyone who doesn't totally get their point.
I used to think that if people went through something life changing..or ending that they would understand all the business of being thankful for what you have..not what you dont have..figure out what REALLY matters..there is always someone worse off than us..etc..
For a lot of people..they enjoy being mean/angry/negative/bitter..etc..they will never truly understand/feel any of those positivet things.
It's always been easy to tell when someone's opinion/thoughts have gotten to someone..because that person just tells the other one to F off..die..hope something bad happens..etc..mindblowing..
And a lot of times..it has come of sounding very serious..
We all just want to be heard..fine..buy why does it matter so much if someone doesn't see thoughts the same way you do..on something that just doesn't really matter if the big sheme of things..I just don't understand..
A lot of times this place has been a great source of info and laughs..but sometimes I just wonder how people can get so angry at each other..most times..over something that just doesn't matter..
There have been many topics posted where I have understood why people have gotten heated at each other and passions have gotten out of control..I understand PASSION..and it can be a fantastic thing when used properly.
A few times there has been just an amazing story posted about someone who overcame something..or a real bad situation someone is in..and not even five minutes later..someone..in another topic will tell someone to F off or heating debate will get going again..and I wonder..wow..did that story effect anyone..
I really sometimes don't know what it will take for some people to be at peace and quit being so mean and harsh at each other.
I say it once again..go out and find what is you..find your happy place..find peace..if you are able to do what you have always wanted to do..DO IT! Is the spot/postition you are in REALLY that bad?
Realize that there is always someone worse off than you..be thankful for what you still have..not what you don't..or bitter at what you have lost..or almost lost..go out and enjoy life instead of spending time ragging on each over things that just don't matter..don't waste negative energy on stuff that just doesn't matter..spend time with those that maybe you have wanted to..but haven't been..
There are a ton of great people here..who have great heart..and to you I know nothing that has been said will bother you..to those who tell me to F off..point not taken..
One thing I have learned here as I pick up things here and that everyone has to truly come to these things on their own..and some people who have been through something that should have putten them at this place..aren't..
There are people who have pm'd me who said that they get it and thanks..if we can even only touch one person's life..
I have been saddened at times that some people aren't who I hoped/thought they were..and that has taught me again to not expect anything from anyone and be careful in trusting in someone..I have seen some people..people who I thought were something else..jump right in and join in on stuff that has blown me away.
I wish good things for everyone..I pray for everyone..I pray for everyone to be at peace and find their happy place..I hope..becasue without hope..we have nothing..I hope that everyone can really, really, trult figure out what matters..what IT is..and really sit and think why they are so angry and understand that there IS someone worse off than you..no matter how bad it seems..be happy for others when things are going good for them..even if not so for you..be thankful for what you have..it will make you feel so much better.
You hardly ever see anyone apologize to anyone..it's always more of..if you don't like it here leave..while I have seen some very cool people here with huge hearts..I have seen a side of people that is almost embarassing and sad..I feel very sad/bad that some people are so angry that they have to treat people the way some get treated.
What has blown me away the most at times is the topic that has gotten so many heated at each other..I almost end up laughing because I can't believe that people are going at each other over something that just doesn't matter!!!!! And it makes me sad because in that I realize so many don't know what really matters and may never care to find out..
I could keep going on and on and not feel like I have gotten all my thoughts out. I know to many of you..none of this really matters..and if it does..it won't last because you have to find it yourself..to those of you who have/do it..KUDOS..to those who want to..go for it..for those who don't..there is alway hope..
One thing I know is that this place has kept me entertained many times..so thanks..and there are so many fantastic poeple here and sure represents every time of human being..
) because there is much more positive here than negative, especially the people. Some of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting. 
Yes, there may be fights and bad ones at times, but I think it is all because we share a passion for the music.........and when push comes to shove and the chips are down.......this board rallies round and comes together like nobody's business.
