Was that for me? I'll pretend it is. I think I've written about three sentences about the concert overall. There was about an hour and twenty minutes one day last week where I cared about the concert. I'm over it. I poked fun at Adam Lambert before all this, I'm poking fun at him now, and I'll almost certainly be poking fun at him in the future. Because I hate the way he sings and I despair at the inflated celebrity. That's about all there is to it.
Edited for snippiness.

You don't like the way someone sings so you mock him. Bravo! You must get frustrated at the guy in the wheelchair cuz you hate how it slows down your day so you'll mock him too. Congrats!
You're just as petty and shallow as I thought you were.

It's one thing to look at it critically, then put it into words why you don't like it, etc etc. That's not what fans did. They went ballistic both here and at that other cesspool. I decided to take that same mentality and use it against them. Then I laughed at their own self righteous reaction to it. This "how dare you say that to me?" bullshit, the utter shock at being insulted when that was the very thing they were doing in the first place.
It was an entertaining exercise but it's run it's course now.

Err.. no. You have a warped sense of reality if you draw those conclusions. As for petty and shallow, a grown man wetting himself at the prospect of Adam Lambert fronting Queen, and then hurling insults at those who ahve a different point of view -- that's the definition of petty and shallow -- and sad as fuck.

You seem to be ignoring criticisms you don't agree with. Granted the whole thing is subjective, but a significant number of people identified what they felt were flaws with Adam Lambert's previous effort with Queen (I'm ignoring those prats who were simply 'who is this fag', which I mean -do I even have to point out the flaw in logic there?).
But there are real identifiable characteristics in Lambert's last attempt a Queen show that can (and have) caused people notable distress. I'm not making that up and I'm not saying it to be contrary. I genuinely reckon the guy has the range and the control to make a proper go at this level of music, and it *infuriates* me and frankly insults my sensibility to hear him cock it up. I actually want nothing more than for someone to get up and deliver, and when it doesn't happen (as was the case last time) it pisses me off.
What I'd like most of all is for him to prove me wrong and do a good show. Failing that, I'd just like a couple of surprises (I refer again to Brian putting Bijou out there in '08) and to hear Brian and Roger do what they're supposed to be doing. Preferably with Dappy on the other side of a electrified fence.

Once again you have proven your lack of ability to understand a single fucking thing. Your lack of reading comprehension is astonishing or is it you have just created a world inside your own head and choose to follow that reality instead of the real one that's just been explained to you?

It amuses me greatly that you fail to grasp what the intention was. You are a lost cause.

As I said, it's one thing to explain why even though their sample group to use for criticism is ridiculously small but more often then not those same people would follow it up with musical snobbery and elitist thinking, the very thing Queen have been working against from the media their entire career and now it's coming straight from their own fans. Then you have others who rip into them with reckless abandon (but gasp when I did it to them) and place Freddie into godhood and Deacon into sainthood based on misplaced and assumed intentions.
As for Dappy, I thought it was ridiculous and cringeworthy but hardly worthwhile to complain about for weeks. It will be forgotten in a month's time and the world will continue to spin as it always has.

The thing about reality is that for those paying attention it's not going to bend too far to accommodate self-serving and frankly laughable justifications for absurd behaviour or the grandiose intolerance that fueled it. It's not going to scooch over so anybody can reimagine the record either. The vast majority of people supported their objections in significant detail,often multiple times, on multiple threads, including sometimes why the reality show path can matter. Musicians and entertainers implicitly contract for critics by virtue of their career choice. Nothing could be more predictable or mundane. To respond to it by stalking opposing opinion with baiting and bizarrely disproportionate attacks for the singular purpose of disruption and asserting your right to crap on the right of somebody else to have a thought and a conversation is not mundane. It's skewed and entitled. There was ZERO discrimination for who had thoughtfully laid out their opposition and who hadn't, making you either dishonest or deluded. Being so fundamentally unable to deal with something so intrinsic to internet forums as an opposing opinion that you have to leave one forum completely and make up fairy stories at the other one to support impossibly thin excuses for shitty behaviour is something else for sure. Several people will have noticed by this point. Maybe stop digging now.

and when exactly did I say that either of you said those things? I said "rip into them." Get your fucking facts straight.

Keep trying to validate yourself and excuse your own behavior. I called you on it, I gave you a heaping dose of it back and you didn't like it. Good. Glad it left a bitter taste in your mouth.
