"boot on the muppets face"

sounds like a Norwegian death metel song title that got slightly lost in translation

So don't intentionally push my buttons anymore and try to get me banned from the site. Both of you. I've never tried to do that to you.

Cuts both ways son...As I said before, a bit of self-perception as to how your own comments come across and affect others goes a long way. There's being critical of someone's music (which is absolutely fine), and then there's the quasi-macho posturing which as far as I can see seems done a lot to deliberately to get a rise from people, particularly those who you know you can rile. Not pleasant when the boots on the other foot is it?

a bit about last night...

i had no intention of getting him banned/suspended
just, as donks said here, the guy knows who he can get a rise out of and pushes those buttons.
me, im pretty much unphasable, so i figured id show him what its like from the other side.

now, obviously, i don't mind a laugh and a joke, but you have to know when to take a step back, or to realise when your humour may not be the right thing for a given moment.
i have a dark, sarcastic sense of humour myself, and sometimes i do take the piss with people, but if i see its not being taken as humour, i step back.

i hope after his suspension, he has learned from the experience.
as im gonna be busy doing 25 to life if my neighbour keeps up being a dick

For me it has become very simple. I no longer engage. I use the ignore button and that's it.

My life around here is going to be very calm and peaceful from now on.

That would have been a great post, if you'd used some capital letters.

I had a job once assisting a one armed typist with capital letters.
It was shift work....

For me it has become very simple. I no longer engage. I use the ignore button and that's it.

My life around here is going to be very calm and peaceful from now on.

But what happens if one Mutes folks who aren't permanently banned and participate in future contests? Does their great music still get through?

There are options to display posts of ignored members. I'll do that only for the submissions thread.

[rp314]

Whatever works, no? I actually seem to recall asking that very same question after a similar dust up years ago and I think it was just Ignored. (Although, to be fair, maybe quite a few around here would not even consider using that option)

Look on the bright side-there was a good number of entries and rachMiel made a return appearance.
