What about them?

I think the suggestion is that they are fucking moronic
December 6th, 2007 at 10:17 am
but then, which is more moronic?
posting threads to engage others in debate (or, sometimes, just for the hell of it), or posting anonymously on a barely-visited blog to insult a group of music fans?
out of context these thread titles are meaningless and any attempt to mock DiSers is therefore invalid.
side note: are you the same jokers who made DownInSound.com? that was lol.

i don’t see what’s moronic about them, they’re just threads. How is ‘Artists that changed/developed your music taste?’ moronic? What are you expecting? There are a lot of moronic threads on DiS, but these seem strange choices. If you want moronic, check the ‘social board’. Or NME.com.

I wouldn’t pay a passing comment much mind
