Regarding Dave/Arnold, always for "the love of truth," I confirm what Ghemison and Bjorky said: he didn't use any other nicknames to comment, except for the three well-known ones and the three used a couple of times to mock rivoli. Recently, he used a couple more just to write reviews, which were indeed filled with 5s from people who would have definitely given him a 1 if they had known who the author actually was...

@senmayan, I still think that a further step forward would be to eliminate COMPLETELY (without the almost) anonymous comments.

Antisionism does not mean opposing the policies of the Israeli government (which is legitimate), but it means denying the right to exist of a Jewish state in Palestine. As Napolitano recently stated: <<Antisionismo significa negazione della fonte ispiratrice dello stato ebraico, delle ragioni della sua nascita, ieri, e della sua sicurezza oggi, al di là dei governi che si alternano nella guida di Israele.>>

So... Regarding the Happypippo-editors matter: anyone reading the comments on the incriminating review by Iside can notice that Malloy intervened in the happy-vabbè dispute to announce his ban BEFORE Pippo insulted him. In fact, Pippo's insults towards Malloy are a consequence and not a cause of this announcement. This is not to engage in the pippo yes-pippo no debate, but for the "love of truth." Pippo's outburst posted by Alè seems a bit pathetic to me. He was wrong, and instead of admitting it and apologizing, showing a bit of humility, he lashes out randomly as he has often done.

Yes yes.

Certo! Inviami il testo che desideri tradurre e provvederò a farlo.

On the "E"s after the period (just like the "But"s), I follow odradek. Sometimes they are really necessary.

Arnold no longer has the ADSL contract; it's likely that this (at least for now) is just a quick visit. He had mentioned that he would occasionally check the site, but nothing more. We'll see...

Given my utter ignorance, I do not dare to add anything to lovelorn's post (which, by the way, will never cease to amaze me with its depth of culture, not only in music but also in literature, etc.). Regarding the use of adjectives like gay, finocchio, and similar terms to describe music, I recently had a small discussion about the so-called "metal-gay" of Judas Priest. Although the term has (unfortunately) become common and is often used without malice (as I believe in this case), I still find it in poor taste and offensive, not so much to the music group it addresses, but rather <<towards some people, as it refers to a contemporary stereotype of homosexuality that does not reflect reality at all.>> Unfortunately, even here on DeB, the derogatory use of these terms (referring not only to music groups but often also to site users) is widespread. And I’ll close this parenthesis.

And why don't you say it as yourself, rabbit? I simply think, Bjorky, that this anonymous person, whoever they are, does not do a good job of upholding their own intelligence by "having fun" this way. The sad thing is that it might be someone you genuinely respect and admire when they are authentic...
