This is a newsgroup about music and recordings.

Things were really great during your absence.

Please no more YouTube links with no commentary whatsoever. This is also a discussion group.

Are you making rules on the fly for the group?
OPs can say as much or as little as they like
about the topics they post. If the topics are
of any interest there will be no shortage of
"discussion". If they aren't, there won't be
any "discussions" no matter what the OP
writes.

Wannabe dictator Andy?

You're free to post anything here - money requests from Nigeria, drug adverts, and various other ways of making a fool out of yourself.

Caring about others on the ng should have moved you in the direction of discussing topics like the rest of us do. But it hasn't. You're perfectly capable of good and valuable discussion so why just be lazy and post meaningless YT links? Shape up, man.....

Then why did you post antisemitic remarks? Why did you make posts about Trump?

Gerard you are a god damn moron...

Your notion of "greatness" is other people's
notion of imbecility. For instance, listening
all the time to baroque and medieval muzak.

What "discussions" ?!? Counting the number of CDs in various sets ?!?
Dancing about architecture? Andy, you are the epitome of smug British
pretense and hipocrisy.

For the same reason you write about posters here, except that Trump is a real 100% moron, worshipped by real 100% morons.

This reminds me of Adlai Stevenson during the 1956
presidential campaign. AES II was an accomplished
speaker. After giving a great speech on the campaign
tour, one lady walked up to him and said "Senator, that
was brilliant! All the intelligent people will vote for you".
To which AES II replied "Madam, I'm afraid that won't
be enough. We need a majority."

Cheers

You see, I am not worhsipping him. That's just how your delusional, manichean mind tries to make it out to be - you are just overwhelmed by a complex reality and unable to make sense of it in any meaningful way; so you reduce it to primitive formulas: Trump/Right = Bad, Ray/Left = Good. It's you who gets off on Trump-Hatred just to feel a little bit of self-worth...

Any words about the Palestinian's murder spree across Israel? You know, about the babies who were beheaded by Hamas? About the baby burnt in an oven? About the German-Israeli woman who was raped, then murdered, then paraded across town and then beheaded? And all that horrendous shit? No, you just come out of the woodwork when it's about Trump or to demonize Israel - time to join the Fakestinian Resistance Ray...

We all know the name of the group. None of us were tricked into clicking on this- the subject clearly says "OT".

In the old days you could imagine arguments breaking out about the need to clearly label off-topic messages. Now that traffic here is so thin, that's not good enough for you. Or maybe you don't really care about the thread at all- it's just a tasty an opportunity to engage in more personal attacks.
