Shame on you pianostreet

[lisztisforkids]

Whatever happened to the old friendly, respectfull pianostreet?

[ihatepop]

Lost in the mountain of rubble of religion and spam.

Well it depends of us all. Pianostreet is a place which I will always keep in special remembrance and I don't like to criticize it permanently. Let's write interesting and friendly and also funny posts and keep the good spirit which is still somewhere there.

Why avoid discussion over key issues that affect our policies today?

This is the anything but piano forum after all.

What happened to everyone else?

This place used to be a lot more fun and a lot less political. I think it is now full of very serious people with little sense of humor. They are all sitting there with frowns on their faces, and something lodged up their bottoms.
No not really.
But this place used to be real cool. It was somewhat of a paradise away from the other serious and shite places ive walked on the web.
But maybe the whole venting thing will do this place some good and things will improve.
One thing ive learnt about this place, it is never the same place, it is ever changing. So why not help form that pleasant environment that used to characterise it.
night all.

Religion destroys everything it infects. Its vile tongue has slithered its way into this forum and what you see now is the result.

[prometheus]

Both me and Pianistimo have been here for a long time.

[living_stradivarius]

Of course, I go to www.classicalmusicguide.com for my political debates

What's your point? The raging religious debate has only recently begun to surface, and it now infects everything. It has spread like a virus and cannot be stopped. I've been here longer than you anyway you putz.

[dnephi]

The debate's been going on for a very very long time.

[prometheus]

I have been here since 2003 and ever since I have had some debates on religion every once in a while.

I have been here since 2003 and ever since I have had some debates on religion every once in a while.

And I've been here longer than you and I don't remember this crap.  Definitely not in such a high concentration.

I find myself in complete agreement.

i disagree on the religion being bad part. It is not so much a matter of religion being bad, or no religion being good, etc etc. Its about a balance. Its hard to say the world would be *** perfect had it not been for religion.
It is just a weak and hypothetical argument. So the world would have been overun by huns, mongols, vikings etc etc. sh*t i dont know about the history.
But it is so easy to sit there after witnessing 1000's of years of religious war and wrong doing and to say all religion is evil. That people. Is offensive. Just as offensive as insulting someones sexual orientation or skin colour.
Why even go there? just respect other peoples beliefs, and shooo!

[prometheus]

So when someone lashes down on my view that the universe is static that is also offensive?

Or if I propose there is an ether to which everything moves?

Or even stranger claims in the realm of science that don't only lack evidence but also seem to go against all we know?


It's a choice. If you have ideas then you need to be able to defend them. If not, keep them totally private.

Say no against special standards for religious ideas because they are 'holy' and 'sacred'.

It is not offensive to say that someone's religion is bullshit. It is not. Don't compare it to racism.

This is exactly the taboo that needs to be broken.

Pianistimo offends my brain cells everytime my eye accidentally catches a glimpse of her convoluted nonsense.

[thalbergmad]

She irritates me, but i still love her.

Disagreements aren't a problem, neither is controversy, a little offense now and again is no big deal.

Welcome to the internet!

If raging debate has spread through this forum, it's because we've let it.  It's up to each of us if we want to argue with whatever we disagree with, or if we'd rather click on more agreeable threads.

The piano-specific areas are pretty harmonious.  There are a few people making some good contributions around there!

If people want to make a big deal of it... well, enjoy the results.  How many seperate threads do we now have from this one issue?
