If not well used, irony can insult more than a slap from a fool, trust me, I know this very well... you have no idea how many people I've offended with irony without realizing it before I learned to temper my words... that's why I've always maintained that there are veiled insults in your words... and it doesn't seem very mature to insult artists, and I don't see all this irony in saying BJ is crap; now if I wrote here rem is crap, how many do you think would understand that it's irony and not insult me? I believe very, very few, and rightly so... it doesn't take being relatives to be hurt if an artist you like is insulted, because in a way you insult the ideas of that person, certainly this is not your intention, but you could be misunderstood and subsequently insulted.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Giorgio didn't show up... You see, I usually don't like to go around insulting people for no reason, but when someone pushes me to the edge, I explode and shower that someone with insults. I know it's not nice, but that's my character; it may be a crappy character, but it's what I have. Having said that, you might have understood that that someone, in this case, is you, with your wicked posts about Bon Jovi reviews. You keep claiming you never meant to insult, either directly or indirectly, but perhaps I'm just being malicious or paranoid; I’ve noticed those veiled insults. If I read that others have seen them too, well, you get it, maybe I'm not paranoid... You say that those who insult lack taste and intelligence, and maybe that's true, but don't you think making fun of people you don't know is still somewhat unwise? And know that certain jokes, especially if heavy, can offend even the least sensitive person in the world (and I'm not referring to myself; I know I'm sensitive), so if you are smart enough not to insult, try to weigh your jokes too...

I absolutely didn't understand what the last sentence means... Anyway, I don't want to oppose you regardless, as you can see with the darkness, but you haven't given any real motivation for your theory. In my opinion, the superiority of one group over another should concern technique, originality, and taste in composing, and I apologize if I'm being repetitive, but I see them at the same level. First, because they both sound good, considering of course that their genre is clear, they haven't invented anything new and, again considering their genre, they've made some nice songs. That's why I see them at the same level. Then, whether one group is liked more than the other, well, that's normal; it would be a tragedy otherwise! So as much as I find the REM a bit too soporific, I don't consider them crap like you consider Bon Jovi, and you will never find a post from me that defines a group/artist as crap; I can say that I don't like them and explain why.

I KNOW I'm ALWAYS right! =)! but, gosh, I can't think of any other sayings, I'm sorry... that's my favorite, so I can subtly insult zucchetta like he does, but I admit to insulting him, so they're not subtle insults anymore, right? In my opinion, the one who's most right of all is zucchetta himself.

If you're wondering why Giorgio is siding with Zuckina, it's because of that saying about who should be given reason... ah, Zuckina, how strange, someone else thinks you're subtly insulting, so maybe I'm not paranoid... or are we both? What do you think?

Ah, now you justify the alleged higher level of the rem from the posts left in the reviews? Then you really don't know how to defend your theory...

Giorgio, I see that even when you're sick, you don't change!!! Go take a nap, so you can heal and we'll see each other tomorrow!

Ah, I would really like to hear the opinion of someone who loves both groups to pose the tricky question: "Are the BJ and the REM on the same level?" Only, I don't actually know anyone who loves the REM as well...

Zuckina, do you know who gets the credit? Yeah, the fools... but why do you insist on saying that it's objective? It’s not, it’s just a matter of taste, do you want to understand that or not? The REM did nothing more and nothing less than Bon Jovi, and from this point of view, they are on the same level. But anyway, yes, good job, you're right...

In my opinion, it's the opposite: the more music you listen to, the harsher and more critical the judgments become.
