Indeed.

Then assume from this point forward that most, if not all threads, carry "not for Portland" somewhere in the title.

No, I think this is Brywool's point: you bitch, periodically. You whine and complain and constantly reassert that you don't like Arnel and Perry was the best, yada yada ad infinitum. Concepts we understand, many sympathize with, and most would agree: Perry was the best. It's not a rational argument; it's not like me constantly asserting (and proving) that Steve Perry was an egomaniacal, narcissistic prick when he was in the band. You're merely stating preference. Over and over and over and over again. You make a point of going to every possible thread and, for whatever reason, throwing that preference down. Even when no one disagrees.
And then, you bitch at
me for asserting (and proving!) that Steve Perry was an egomaniacal, narcissistic prick? At least it's (a valid and completely legitimate) argument that is still being discussed. You all but whip out the SP pom-poms and valiantly rush to his defense, whining and carrying on.
This is what we call a double standard. You in the past, said you'd quit posting on "Arnel threads" or whatever. You don't have to, but traditionally when someone gives their word, they're held to it. The only reason I can conjure for you not keeping your word is that you, predictably, like to bitch. A lot. But not about Steve Perry, no, no, no. No, Steve Perry falls somewhere into the bitch-free category and should be for everyone else, right?
Not to mention, at least with me, you like to make ageist remarks and take malicious delight when others argue with me, throwing in a one liner here and there giving your support, which is odd, since you've professed a desire to "not argue with Gideon."
Sort of like the frail, insignificant child hiding behind her bigger friends all the while talking trash and egging the fights on.
Pathetic.
Anywho, the moral of this story is that Brywool is completely right, you're completely wrong, and your anti-Journey sentiments
are being called out for the world to see.
Bravo!
