Oh, I tell people to fuck off on the reg especially while driving but that's not personal. I do agree, we don't know enough about the specific context but it seems he was not to nice to a few people, one of which I personally spoke to over the weekend. I didn't think too much of it then but then seeing the other people having the same issue, well, it seems to be more than a one off heated moment.
In the end, I really hate facebook culture. I think that's a huge part of the problem. Someone expresses an opinion and if you don't agree then things get out of hand really fast.
If for some reason it's a repeated thing fair enough I guess but yeah I stay off Facebook because of all this sort of shit.
There surely has to be more behind it however one would think.
This is really why I even brought it up here, was hoping Nick could shed some light on the situation. I wouldn't expect him to do that on facebook where the hounds are let loose. I feel DTF has always been a more open space for honest discussion. I could see why he won't though.
What makes you think he will post and shed light about a situation that has nothing to do with anything to this Board? If he does, I guarantee, based off of the comments here, he will be getting the same, but in a nicer way of words, treatment.
I read the situation, and it bugs the fuck out of me when people post things the way that guy did. First he posts a vague post about "Snowflake Musicians", and then posts a screenshot, that doesn't show anything related to the context of the conversation, we are just supposed to take their word for it (NO, that's not how this works). If he wanted to really Share his damning info, he would've posted exactly what Nick said to cause the poster to post that thread.
The OP basically called himself an Asshole as well, so there is that. Just 2 Assholes going at it.
This is how I see it...
A Musician is also a Human Being, meaning, a musician also has the rights as all the "Common people". They are not GODS. Musicians are not some special type of people, no one is special, This is the very definition of Celebrity Worship and Idolism. Why do people get upset when their Idols or People they look up to, do not act how they expect. That is called putting on a PERSONA, ALL FAMOUS people do this. Once, they walk out that door, they put on their face, sometimes they live that Face, and no one has seen their true face.
Facebook is people connecting with people, and people post their Thoughts, Things that are relevant to them and how they as a person Thinks and Feels. It reveals whom you are, your IDENTITY. Their are vast ways of thoughts and things, that some tend to collide with each other, that's normal as not everyone can be a positive, some have to be negative to start the charge. If you connect with someone, that's cool, because you share similarities. If not, that's fine too, you don't have to connect with that person, and just let them live.
You can EXPECT and ASSUME all you want, but that won't change a person from being who they are, that's their IDENTITY. If you want to change someone, Facebook IS NOT the way to do that, that's why we have Therapists and Psychologists.
