Orion and To Live Is To Die are better, IMHO. :)
Sorry I posted the wrong songs.
Don’t be. I’m just sharing an alternate opinion.
Do you get, though, how it doesn't improve a thread asking people what they're most excited about right now when you reply telling someone they're wrong?
Do you get though that I said “in my humble opinion” and posted a smile? Do you get, though, that other people may like Metallica and have different songs they like and would have the urge to reply to your comment as if it were the Metallica thread? Do you get that, though? Do you?
I'm just saying, in life there are contexts where your disagreement is meant to be part of the discussion, like a best song thread, and then there's other contexts where criticizing what someone likes, even in a non mean spirited way, subtly depresses the fun of the situation.
When I was younger I didn't get that, my friends would talk about things they liked and I'd instinctively disagree. And at a certain age I realized I'd be better company if I didn't interrupt their enthusiasm. Because the world sucks and enthusiasm is hard to cultivate.
You sound insecure. I wasn’t trying to bring you down. Be confident. Own your opinions.
Have a nice day.
