by naming himself slash, there is an immediate association between the act of tearing/attacking, and such other definitions with this guy's persona.

the mere thought that this guy wants us to have either an implicit/explicit/conscious/subconscious association with these COOL very rocker (rolleyes) ACTS when we hear his name is just laughable.
It is all part of the megalomaniac, narcissistic assholery, proper of idiots like this one, who expect to receive unmeasurable levels of awesome because his pseudonym is like sooo rad.


sorry, had to explain it to obtuse people who can't see the obvious.

The problem here, trystero, is that when you attack, you always fail to attack at my point, you're always missing.

yeah no place for narcissism and megalomania in rock and roll oh wait I pretty much owned this point with my first post?

the difference lies in that you can't get more obvious than SLASH.
Even STING is a bit more subtle than SLASH. Gee! I don't have a problem with sting! Marvelous!


please note this whole discussion is relative to the observer and you cannot be objective, so no matter how hard you try you will not be able to put all pseudonyms in the same bag.


Edit:
most pseudonyms are supposed to uplift a person's image.
Some are better others are worse.
Slash is not good at all

ahhhh, it's so simple..

(i'm off)

what the fuck have you been talking about this entire topic

I dunno, read and make your own conclusion, dumbass
it is all connected

hey shep: did you know we're both wrong but you look even worse for it?

it's a childhood nickname given by an old family friend. he used to run around and this guy called him Slash because he would "slash about". so you've not only been complaining about a word for two pages (and hey pal it takes two to tango, you can blame me for calling you an idiot but two pages of it wouldn't have happened if you weren't being so fucking stubborn about NOTHING per usual) but you've been complaining about a childhood name that does NOT mean SLASH ABOUT ATTACK but was a loving nickname from a family friend that had nothing to do with attacking.

once again owned unless you want to bitch some more about how some words are just better than others. VOCABULARIST FASCISM christ.

not owned at all (lovin this competition, I have longer and thicker dicklength too)

* You looked worse than me, by being VERY ITCHED to the fact I think Slash is a stupid name.

* I didn't bitch about the word for 2 pages at all. I just made ONE COMMENT about how it is not good. Then YOU CAME, with your massive and completely unnecessary polemic rantings, in an attempt to make me look stupid for considering this particular nickname to be laughable.

* So the rest of my posts were basically: "steel take a chill pill" and trying to explain to McObtuse where my disapproval of the word comes from. That is NOT being bitchy. That's being patient.

* The fact that it is a childhood name (man you even went up and looked for the origins of his name so that you could come back at the discussion with something) does not change anything at all. I still consider it to be a silly name for the reasons given.

* You are stubborn in making the whole issue a huge deal. I don't think it is, I just calmly answer back to your disproportionate refutes. That's what lead to 2 pages of this discussion.. your insistence in not acknowledging my perception.

* Nor does it make me some sort of fascist or a horrible intolerant person if I think certain words are best not used as nicknames because of reasons already given.

* Note all perceptions are subjective and that does not exclude you.

are you fucking kidding me? look tex you have no room to manuever. you've made 12 posts in this topic. even with counting my double post as two separate posts? I've only made 10 (eleven counting this, but like I said I also counted a double post as two different posts!) how can you claim any sort of ground of NOT BEING CONCERNED when you've posted more and you started this entire derail to begin with??? it is not possible someone can be this catastrophically stupid, you can't claim you're less invested when you've posted more than ANYONE in the topic on this subject. so I'm "itched" about you being dumb about fucking rock names but you're apparently obsessed!

you've also not explained anything. Slash is a childhood nickname. somehow you've applied a false dichotomy where STING is not silly but Slash is. do you realize of slash's 16 or so definitions, a good portion of them have nothing to do with this bullshit HEH HES BEING A FAKE ROCKER, compared to sting's 15 definitions all having something to do with piercing something else? and that his name does not in fact originate from your bullshit claim of a lack of subtlety but a childhood nickname? oh but I forgot LOOKING IT UP is apparently a crime. god forbid someone actually google something, are you kidding me? FYI, panda IMed me that little factoid, I didn't look it up, so suck it AGAIN, this is the third time you've just been straight up ignorant. at this point you're clearly trolling because idk you love a high post count?

why won't you reply to an argument instead of claiming there's some inherent flaw in the word "slash"? why is Slash ridiculous but naming yourself after Elvis isn't? how is STING better? you just say IT JUST IS and then claim this is a calm reasoned response instead of more of your bullshit. and how come neither you nor Rockman is replying to hiphop being completely full of pseudonyms yet neither of you criticize it? is it because you recognize the stupidity of criticizing a fucking NAME no matter what it is unless it has some culturally accepted idiocy? funny how your argument looks completely stupid both prima facie and on further inspection.

no one, at all, has brought up objectivity but guess what opinions are based on something all the time. not all opinions are equal! sorry! relativity doesn't apply when you're trying to ask someone WHY they think something because then they're supposed to seek an objective way of explaining themself instead of "opinions are magical shields im safe! im cool!". I'm no big fan of the name Slash, but I also don't have a fake name dichotomy so stupid Linnaeus spins in his grave. if a name is kind of neat for some type of device like literary reference or something, that's one thing; for similar reasons, a name can be stupid, like that one punk rock band called VONNEGUTT. but this is just a fucking word. if you despise certain words for no reason other than your own perception that ITS BAD, yeah, you're being a linguistic fascist, something so incredibly dumb it makes my jaw drop.

wow..
you leave me completely breathless
I'm blown away by such massive amount of stupidity.
There is so much to correct and just seeing you work with this kind of logic makes me sorry. You are really narrow.
and you ridiculize yourself

I made my point and you insist on trying to find flaws.
That's not good health.

I rest my case.

ahaha did you just post IM TOO SMART...YOUR DUMB IM NOT REPLYING as a reply?

dude you cannot claim a high ground at all in any way in this topic, just give up already. you've got the most posts (meaning you're the one obsessed, not me!), you haven't even looked up what you've been complaining about for TWO PAGES and then proceeded to insult me for trying to save us both some time (and were STILL wrong about it because I didn't even fucking look it up, someone who read the topic told me), and you still have not responded at all, despite multiple entreaties, to any of my arguments (restating: why is sting, a word that almost exclusively has violent connotations, worse than slash, which has half non violent definitions, why is naming yourself after a verb silly but taking the name of the single most famous rocker in history to sell albums acceptable, and is hiphop exempt from this bullshit nomenclature rule because no one seems to want to address this (possibly because you know no matter what you say I will chew you up and spit you out because your knowledge of hiphop is limited to white guys rapping about star wars???)).

btw: by "resting your case", you can no longer post. see shep, unlike you, I happen to know what words mean. and by saying "I rest my case" you've given up the right to reply to this or any further post because you can only rest your case at the end. even worse, the expression "I rest my case" in popular parlance does not mean I WIN but that the opposing side has just said something that qed proves your point. in both cases you've fucked up; in one you give up the right to pursue the argument further, and in the other you're saying you quoted me proving you right, which you never did. in both definitions you cannot "rest your case" without defenestrating your opponent through a direct citation or evidence.

normally I would just say "btw: you used rest my case wrong" but its hilarious because you're still arguing you know about the inherent value of words better than I do and instead shot yourself in the foot. ironically by your own ignorance proving that you don't know the definition of words, I can successfully just do this:

I rest my case.

no, I rest my case, because you clearly don't know what that phrase means at all and it's a good indicator you don't know what the word slash means either.

 

i don't care who started the conversation or who the real idiot is, both of you should be ashamed for arguing about such stupid shit for a page and a half.

steel, i figured you would know by now not to keep making walls of posts against Shepperd

edit: if someone wants to start another Chinese Democracy topic to comment on how the album sounds (since I don't recall anyone talking about anything more than speculation) go ahead.
