"WAH, you should pay me for my opinions about pop music, especially now that it doesn't generate any capital! It's my right to expect this!" is much classier and more dignified.
^ I'm totally with you. all of those posts where Maura and her writers complained about not getting paid were just awful. I mean, did you fucking READ her last post? completely undignified. I'm so with you here.
you know, people should be paid for their opinions about music, especially when those opinions are as worthwhile as those of the people who ran and wrote for Idolator. i want to read intelligent writing on pop music, as do many others, and we're lucky that smart people who know a lot about the subject want to produce it.
it's super funny that you think Idolator "failed" in some way. they had an amazing three year run, which is more than anyone can say about most blogs—most things—in life. Maura and all of the other writers did more to make the discourse about music on the internet far more intelligent, wide-ranging, and worthwhile than the majority of other music sites out there. it's hilarious that you're making fun of people who actually put the effort into raising the bar instead of just bitching on a message board about how bad music sites are.
alright, that's about it. done giving time to this bullshit.

TS: ignoring him in the hopes he goes away vs. calling him out as the bitter asshole he is

can we just agree to do the former now that we've done the latter?
― still think kshighway is a sock (kshighway1), Thursday, 12 November 2009 14:20 (sixteen years ago)
the point being, the more you call him out the more likely he is to stay
oh wait, I can ban him ^_^ want me to?
― a Barbie-like nub where he provates should be (HI DERE), Thursday, 12 November 2009 14:20 (sixteen years ago)
nah i feel like just straight up banning him for making a few dickish posts is too far

the bright side is now there'll be a 2,000 word post on 'shallow rewards' in which we'll all now be in the infamous media assassin's crosshairs right alongside maura and whiney

Can y'all do me a solid and not drive Chris to a hipinion-style flame-out before my ban is up? Would love to get in a real conversation about "dignified" with the guy.

he did not say that, liar

Probably for the best, as this will give Whiney a chance to talk at Ott without being rudely interrupted.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 12 November 2009 15:42 (sixteen years ago)
how do you interrupt on web

tthis shit" being message board bs? if that's what you mean, there's no way i'll still be posting here a couple months from now. the thread that had people comparing five-digit post counts convinced me I need to leave sooner than later. that shit's insane.
