I doubt you can judge someone's intellectual curiosity by a few posts on an internet site.


James' backside is neither spotty or flabby thankyou!

And remember that journo who said he had a political chat with Sean but with Richey it was about girls or something!

Yeah.

I wasn't admitting to 'liking' the Manics, thus restoring order to your (tiny) mental universe. You overlooked the fact that i added a comma; thus:

Unquestioning fanship of this band is unspeakably pretentious, in the wider scheme of things; didn't you know?

Just as when I'm on Coldplay's forum I stick to the Manics thread and don't go into the part of the forum that is mainly about Coldplay jus to diss them!
This topic interests me.

I don't like them. I find their fans a source of endless fascination.

Are you Welsh?

Yes, he's the big cheese around these parts.
No, he didn't say he liked them. He said - 'I, like the Manics' as in, he himself, similar to the Manics not 'I like the Manics' :|

Wait... Cola is considered a 'troll' for asking questions that a few intellectually frustrated fans find difficult to answer? Or for bringing up an alternative POV towards the band?

These are my opinions, I am not a troll anymore than the happless Wire might be.
Wire is probably one of the biggest trolls of all so you're right there.

Nawr, cau dy ben!

I myself don't consider Cola a troll, no. But if you join a forum for a band and then start posting comments that aren't really to do with the thread and are just to attack the band, don't be too suprised if people who are fans of the band get just a little bit annoyed. So the problem is really 'intellectual frustration' then. Not sure if pestering the Manics and some of their fans is really gonna alleviate that, no offence. Richey is my third fave member of the band by the way! Does that get me off the hook?

This thread is about the Manics being political and he is challenging that image of them. Even if you think it's the wrong thread for it, it doesn't make what he's saying less valid.

Such as 'Is Kezia really Rachel Elias?' I don't think most of us find that one difficult to answer tbh...

Right. That's cool. You have your world view as I have mine. You've never met Rachel, have no idea of what she gets up to in her private time and yet are still adamant this Kezia could not be Rachel.

A bit more objective thought please!

I suspend my judgement until I can get hold of all the facts. If that is impossible I still live with an element of doubt because it's just an opinion at the end of the day. Only an idiot can be so adamant in the definite confusion the world has to offer. How I've deconstructed the world to be in my own head doesn't always match up to physical reality. Try this notion on yourself sometime (if you can get past your giant ego!)

Im with Gutless on this 100%
There are a hell of a lot of bands I cant stand and some of those have bog fanbases and political ideals that might be questionable in their sincerity, but I have and would never wastey valuable time posting on a fansite to slag any of them off or wind up their fans!

Im gonna say it - I think it counts as trolling
