Everyone in this thread has stated that they thought the racial shit wasn't funny and many of us think that his banning was justified because of it. .
Hypothetical question
Originally posted by Brian Wallace:indeed, that's why i prefer your inputs than the afore-mentioned dupek. i don't agree with what you say, but i'll defend your right to say them (and my right to make fun of them). racist provocation, on the other hand, i won't defend. beu-bye.
I'm not some aimless provocateur trying to "stir things up."
Originally posted by Brian Wallace:no, walalce, not exiled, just ridiculed if you seriously think that today's corpo-rock is original and owes nothing to its predecessors. if you want to listen to MCR, go for it, but don't pretend they're not hugely endebted to queen and bowie. and your knee-jerk reaction to anything more than 7 years old is just as funny as other boardee's knee-jerk to anything that sold more than 15,000 copies and is known by the mainstream.
I just thought there would be a little more adventurous thinkers/listeners on this message board who resent being fed the same things over and over and over again. Instead it seems this message board is full of people who in theory have an open mind but if you say one bad thing about Thom Yorke, Billy Corgan, Springsteen, Morrissey, etc. to them, you get tsk-tsked and exiled.
the ability to recognise that certain rock acts are still relevant 20 or 30 years later means that one can listen without historical prejudice, IMO. keep in mind there are hundreds if not thousands of "old" bands we don't discuss because they haven't passed the test of time.
has it ever occured to you that you're the one with the closed mind?
Who are Pete Wentz and Gerard Way? I honestly have no idea.

I don't think Brian needs to go. At least not until we find out who he really is.

I'm not really one to jump on the bash Brian Walalce bandwagon. I think some of his assessments are off-brand as hell, but he's pretty funny at times even when I think he's dead wrong. Whether he's real or not. (I just recently started leaning towards the former.)
As far as Dupek thing, it boggles my fuckin' mind that some of you "miss" the humor of a racist fuckin' coward who doesn't have the courage to state what he really is in real life, so he spews his warped form of "racial crusading" on an online forum. A musical one that leans indie & liberal, no less. Quotes about lynching negroes in Croatian???? You motherfuckers really find that funny??? It really makes me wonder how some of you conduct yourselves out in the "real world" where there are far less "PC people" (no pun intended at all) around. Fuckin' atrocious. Assume when I 1st came around these parts I were to start off posting a bunch of white-folk filled hate humor. I guarantee that shit would not be endearing to anyone. I like off-color humor & racially insensitive jokes as much as the next man, but only when it comes from a funny place. Dupek was simply a salty coward mad cause black people at his job surpassed him in professional status, some got away with some shit and he couldn't handle it. Nothing funny about him. I really wonder about some of you people . . .
B Walrus is ageist, but nobody seems to mind that?

You're officially an American. You may now enter corporate America. Leave your British accent at the door.

facinating hypothesis. does this mean we'll be the subjects of a badly-written "hipster expose", which in the end only further reveals how self-absorbed mr. du lac really is? interesting.
Could it possibly be Dupek with a whole new persona?
i considered that possibility for a moment - not unlike dupey, he's into saying obnoxious things seemingly to push people's buttons. and some of his posts as of late have been pretty impressive in terms of writing, witty comparisons, etc… if it was dupek, he was letting his guard down and falling out of character.
but in the end i really do think it's a petulant 17-year-old with a big opinion about something he should know more about (the reason why he fits in so well on this board)… either that, or a generally Oscar-worthy performance.

I think it's either Rhett or just a pimply 16 year old who has no friends so spends his entire life after homework in his room spanking his monkey while watching Hanna Montana on the Disney channel or making smart ass comments on message boards like this one.

Did anyone else notice Brian Wallace's account was registered in October 2005? I'd love to be able to go back and see the early posts of this cat.
Some of the comments he's made allude to an alterego – i.e. he hints that he's meant Miss P.
I dunno. Dupek is batshit insane enough to create an alterego totally unlike his self.

I seriously doubt it's Dupek, his musical tastes where fairly specific an don't think he went off listening to Fallout Boy with the intent to stir up trouble here.
