Dear Italiandreamer, come on, this is not a shitty site, itās a space where anyone can express their opinion. So if someone wants to post a recipe because they enjoy sharing it with others who might never taste such delicacies and can thus delight in the kitchen with new experiences, they are free to do so. If others, who have read the 12 previous reviews and know every detail about LaBrie, Portnoy, Petrucci, and the whole gang, post comments like "I Dream Theater have broken the c.... and similar stuff," itās hard not to understand them. If someone offers you constructive criticism, accept it graciously, and if they give you compliments, even better. This place allows anyone to write, but before doing so, you should (or ought to) read the first page where a few but effective rules are outlined. If followed, these can prevent a flood of negative comments (many justifiably posted) and spare you from atrocious anger and/or disappointments. If I, as a new user, were to stumble upon this "divèrs" site and think "Damn, I can write reviews too!", Iād log in, click on ādescribe itā immediately without passing go with the idea of writing something about, I donāt know, Iron Maiden, I should ask myself: "Maybe someone has already talked about them, damn, I canāt be the only one who knows Iron." So Iād search for something about them and see that there are over a hundred reviews, with duplicates and triplicates and all sorts of variations, so itās only reasonable to ask myself, after reading plenty, "Do I really need to write something too?" If you have proof that they are indeed a group of bloodthirsty satanists, sending subliminal messages that brainwash consciences, and you want to make that clear in a dedicated review (to clarify: thatās something that hasnāt been said yet, everything else has), then go ahead. Otherwise, read the others, post your comments, but donāt make a review on "Iron Maiden" or "Killers," youāll be torn to shreds in no time (as it should be). You canāt expect everyone to post comments like "Damn, Portnoy is such a cool drummer, heās got grit, and heās not a young lad anymore, just listen to him play and see his technique!" (sure, but there are at least fifty drummers who outplay him, take Danny Carey and Thomas Haake as examples, to stay in the genre), or "Petrucci is a blast with that guitar, pentatonic scales at 3000 km/h and lightning-fast solos, the best in the world" (but not really! There are tons of Guitar Heroes, heās just one in the crowd) and "LaBrie has a divine voice" (but also not really! The world is full of singers like LaBrie, who letās be honest, is not this grand monster of power and technique). Letās call things as they are, come on. Ultimately, itās up to those participating on the site to grasp the irony in certain comments, critiques, and so on, and no one is obligated to stay if they donāt want to. There are other sites where you can write reviews that welcome you with open arms, but you know how boring that can be: "Yes, I actually find that the transition between the fourth and fifth notes in tapping at the 3:27 mark is something wonderful," honestly, Iād prefer a culinary recipe.... Regards... And donāt take it too hard! ;)
