First, there were/are some pretty ignorant statements made in the FINALLY! thread I refered to. I'm not sure how to refer to ignorant statements in a manner that isn't "disparaging", but if you possibly have some way to refering to ignorant phrases, by using a term other than ignorant, you're much more PC than I, and possibly even a better person. Congratulations.

I'm not refering to those that disagree with me as ostrichs'. That's what I feel is an accurate discription of someone that just plain refuses to accept something that is recognized by, well, probably tens of millions of people as something that is a legitimate entity. Hip-Hop as music is an example. Global warming is an example. Some people refuse to accept or recognize these. Ostrich is a fairly beign term to describe them, as "disparaging" as the word might seem to you, and I don't believe an inaccurate one. Denying something exists, having your head buried in the sand pretending it doesn't exist, doesn't NOT make it exist. Well, maybe to 5 year olds for a limited amount of time.

Here's a link to a post I think is pretty ignorant. You need not share my view on that, but that does NOT mean I don't think it contains much ignorance, so therefore must BE ignorant. Now, perhaps I could find a term other than ignorant to describe something that IS ignorant, but if the shoe fits, why be ignorant and ignore it?

BTW, there have been a couple posts on both this thread and the FINALLY! thread, oh, you did read that thread, right? since you're commenting on my post that refers to it? - that have "disappeared". Even you, and perhaps markrohr, might have agreed that there was, alas! ignorance present in those "disappeared" posts, and possibly in some of the remaining posts.

What you seem completely unclear about is that anyone, at any time can disagree with me and my views or opinions. I'm not at all insecure about that, it's a healthy thing that I'm fine with and it's something that makes this great place what it is an I don't "flip out" over such things. I only made my original post to state that denying that a music that is recognized as music, that fits every definition of music is music, whether the poster thinks and accepts that so or not.

Did you even read that post? Somehow I doubt it...

I may have misinterpreted makrohr's references of disparaging words in the post you reference because I really don't consider then disparaging, only accurate. So my apologies for that. If you find something else to nitpick about, just let me know and I'll be glad to address it!
