Mr_Iko

never felt. just let me know when we can meet up and have a colossal drink while watching a livez. We'll dress up as metalheads so they don't see that we're beyond the legal age limit.

Never heard from you. If you tell me when we're hanging out and having a massive drink while watching a live show. We'll dress up as metalheads so they won't see that we're beyond the allowed age limit.

This time Mr_iko is not to blame, he didn’t sow the discord, I ask you not to hold him accountable.

And then enough with the self-deprecation, please... I'm not a charmer and I don't want to become one. I’m not interested in pleasing you just for the sake of it; I don’t ask for it and you will never hear me ask. I prefer to be a virtuous and honest nuisance, someone you can turn to for a comment that reflects reality. Am I showboating with Latin? Well, my professors of iurisprudentia used to praise me for my use of it. Different views for the same behavior. It's up to you to find the shallow to cross...

Okay, you are all good. The review remains a piece of crap. I take music very seriously, and this sometimes leads me to go overboard. But I don’t want to be told that I’m a violent bully. I have always maintained that ratings for reviews should be abolished because they generate antipathy. I have always believed that the review should celebrate the album (or silence it) and not the reviewer. Here comes 2+2=5 to lecture me. But here we are, find me one on this site who hasn’t done it yet (right, zzzzzzzzz and cleo?). I can't, it's not in the mindset of my approach to music to talk about it lightly. Sticking with quotes from Oscar Wilde (Hal placet), I always say what I shouldn’t say; in fact, I tend to say what I really think. This is a great mistake in our time because the truth makes you unpleasant through frequent misunderstandings. I know, one should never take sides for anything. Taking sides is the first step towards sincerity. Seriousness immediately follows sincerity, and from there, it’s a short leap to being considered a bore. But I can’t change the regard that my love for music has led me to have. The big difference between 2+2=5’s writing and the copy-paste descriptive account of zzzzzzzzzzzzz is that the former is passionate but incredibly bare, while the latter is stuffed with facts but so cold it becomes unreadable. As I often say, virtue lies in the middle. It’s up to you to find the ford to cross the river.

djd knows what he wants. and he knows what he says.

That is, "others might FINALLY seize the opportunity not to write a pointless comment" implies that my negative comments on the photocopy reviews have been regarded as unnecessary, banal, superfluous, and not particularly insightful. And that finally, in particular, suggests that there is an implicit and forced request for abstention in the statement, as I would have been a nuisance. However, since I attempted to address the issue and you replied that you do not censor anything, I will persist in my battle against the obvious reviews until I get tired of it. Maybe in two minutes I'll already be fed up, but until then...

okay, dopey, and you know that I care about you a lot!

The problem is that you qualify a negative comment on the review as "useless." This is in contrast to the philosophy of freedom you speak of. Quicumque turpi fraude semel innotuit, etiamsi verum dicit, amittit fidem (I believe it goes something like this) - that is, anyone who becomes known once (the first review of that kind) for a shameful deceit, even if they speak the truth, loses trust - FEDRO in 100 A.D.

What is in the heart is in the mouth.
