What happened here?

[outin]

Has everyone gone mad? People have suddenly started being really rude to each other and many of the topics are full of hatred, accusations or sexual matters that belong to a more adult environment 

I am beginning to miss the 88th guy who learned Rach 3 in a week or something...maybe rude at times but at least he was talking about music 

[drexo]

The whole world is shaking - welcome to the internet.

[matt_walker]

I'm new here, and to be honest I've noticed it too, unfortunately.

[perprocrastinate]

I am not going to take anyone's side in these matters, nor am I knowledgeable/worthy enough of these matters to participate.

But some have to consider this: Is it really worth it? Is it time to just let go?




I speculate that the89thkey is contagious

[pianowolfi]

I guess it's the full moon and it will hopefully pass.

[birba]

I'm actually morbidly curious about all this hubbub in the competition thing.  I'm sorry I missed the action!

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Did that 'would you rather' thread inspire you to make this one?

No but yeah, I this isn't that bad.

I remember when I first joined, I made a thread and this guy Keyboardclass was flaming EVERYONE!!!

It was like three pages of fighting lol

The "Boyfriend" thread yesterday was really uhm... unusually aggressive... "For 18+ only" would have been an understatement...

Discussion when people disagree and throw tantrums is never pleasant especially between strangers who are here to discuss not only piano but also anything but. Some people's opinions should be kept to themselves but when you in a forum that is here to discuss matters sometimes all people have is their opinions despite the evidence to the contrary or lack of!

Oh and Internet arguments happen everywhere online, if it surprises you then you really are an Internet n00b

It is not that, of course arguments are part of it (and as we have seen can be kept up almost eternally). But these are people who are usually behaving more civilized. (Well, maybe not R-4, but he is excused because he is a sweet guy really.) I have nothing against arguments and even a nicely put hidden insult here and there which some of you are really good at. That can be entertaining. I am not entertained by some of the stuff going on right now because this is the one forum where I don't expect to see such nonsense from so many threads at the same time. So I am just surprised...By all means go on, just keep it on a reasonable level.


EDIT: Or maybe it's just that too much Bach makes one an intolerant prude? 

[drexo]

I hate Bach.

Flame on..

I hate Bach.

Flame on..

You won't get any from me 

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Flame on..

Yes my brother, see the light!!!

[lloyd_cdb]

I apologize for being right all the time and trying my hardest to make sure everyone acknowledges it.

I'll put all my comments in smaller text to be less aggressive.

[drexo]

I see the light - It's coming towards me

[rachmaninoff_forever]

I was just listening to that a couple minutes ago.

Impossible, there's no such thing as too much Bach.

Maybe the Mayans were right and we just missed it.

The Mayans invented Bach - now I understand.

I get it now...the end of the world was not a one time incident but happens gradually...people will first act a bit weird... soon they will be killing kittens and pianists, eating babies and dogs, torturing their neighbours by drilling a few measures of Bach for hours and before we now...the world as we knew it is gone!  

[drexo]

The world was already gone after Bach composed his first piece of... ehm.. Notes.

[ted]

Waves of nonsense break from time to time on forums and in life. We shall look them boldly in the face and pass on. Music itself doesn't care and worse things happen at sea.

[j_menz]

worse things happen at sea.

Indeed.

That's my motto. I'm telling everyone while wearing this sweater

January/February is not a nice time of year. :3

Every day is the same, in case you didn't noticed.

I think that it's all in the "anything but piano section"...I remember someone talked about public nudity and I made an inappropriate joke, then the boyfriend cheating thread....oh, that thread really should have been deleted right away, but nooooo, more inappropriate jokes, and then people must have started to get offended, I feel really bad about little tune seeing that thread. Not because of anything personal, but because children and young adults should be protected. Sorry. And titles like Piano porn? Attractive pianists...ugh. while related to piano...not sure if should comment.

I think littletune should be fine.  She's like 14.

And very wise for her years.

These days the internet is the "window on the world" for many people. They may have not been to a public meeting or participated in an association.

Things get really ugly out there. Just recently I saw a fist fight break out in a national parliament.

You shouldn't be shocked when invisible people write nasty things. Of course we would like everyone to observe some sort of decorum.

But don't count on it!

Are there not moderators on here? I haven't come across any spam in the past week, which is a good sign, but I haven't come across a moderator either.

Well, I have, a lot. There's actually a bit of a war going on right now. So I come to PS to relax and find the same thing suddenly appear here

I haven't seen your alternate personality in a while.

Your pills started working? 

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Your pills started working? 

Or maybe you finally learned how to suppress ajspiano.

And what the heck happened to davidjosepha?  And 23568926512935296196Enrique?
