I guess I don't understand that level of obsession, which is weird since I have an obsessive brain.WestwayKid wrote: ↑18 Oct 2017, 11:53amHistorians can be even worse.

The same can happen for any subject. There will always be those who want to prove they know more than you and they truly enjoy pointing it out.
I've been a fan of the Clash since I was fairly young - but I admit I don't know as much about them as a lot of people. There have been other bands that have held by interest and my philosophy is that I'd rather know something about all the bands I've loved than to obsess over the details of one particular band or musician.
This is sad and the best way to deal with people like that is just to ignore them. Again - going back to the racing forums - they want to get you upset and when they can't they'll keep poking at you - trying to provoke you - but if you ignore them they move onto another target.
I think it is cool to be passionate about things and when you're passionate about things you naturally want to discuss them with those who share you passion. The internet has made that so easy - and that is great - we just need to keep the trolls out!
Definitely. There's no way I'm as passionate a fan of the Clash than the vast majority of people here—ironically, it was DCT that pushed me away from just plain enjoying the band as I once did—but the people here are, as a whole, fucking great. Intelligent, funny, decent. Plenty of people here I'd go to the mat for (even Heston!).
No argument from me about the awfulness of historians.WestwayKid wrote: ↑18 Oct 2017, 11:53amHistorians can be even worse.

I love how Brian showed up for this. And Stamos too, but only on that sunset shot where he is barely discernible. The other time they are playing, Jardine's giant kid is playing drums.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑18 Oct 2017, 12:29pmThat's worse than "WBTC," right? And "Hotel California"? Leaving aside the unintentional comedy of it all, aesthetically it has absolutely no value, made worse by the fact that it was done by a major, major band.
