It's much easier to discuss music over the net. I've noticed that's it's difficult for me to tell people there music tastes suck in person... but here it is no problem... likewise in person i wouldn't want to sit around talking about ae for 6 hours

perhaps it's because their taste in music is no better or worse than yours, and if you really feel their taste in music "sucks" then you're not a very good friend.

you're actually cruel enough to tell people you're not friends with that something about them "sucks"?

i just mean that it's easier to discuss things when you don't look people in the eye.. it's same thing with intellectual attacks on paper.

"you're actually cruel enough to tell people you're not friends with that something about them "sucks"? "

yea, "the faceless victim." sure, it's easy to shoot your mouth off on the internet and type something you don't have the balls to say on the internet. maybe you don't even mean it, maybe you just wanna fuck with people. personally this got old for me after i turned 16 or so.

i guess i worded it wrong
telling people that there music tastes suck would be the most extreme case.
i meant that we might disagree over an albumn or an artist and if I knew you in person i'd be like... whatever.. whereas here we can discuss things down to the nitty gritty.
i've never told anyone in my life that their music tastes suck

i'm glad cos that would be not only mean, it COULD be seen as hypocritical (in the case where you've been told your musical taste sucks; i know i've been told that before plenty of times in recent years).
internet forums have a lot of pros and cons. one of the pros, as you said, is the ability to have an intelligent conversation about interesting topics. part of the reason we can do that is because our mode of communication is writing, and writing inherently requires some thought. conversations in "real life" tend to be more on the fly and people like myself don't often say the most interesting or eloquent things unless given a moment to think. another reason quality discussions are possible online is the diversity and sheer number of users on a forum like this. you're bound to find someone who understands you, agrees with you, or disagrees with you, especially on a "niche" board like this. (but try bringing up aphex on a teen chat board, or a gospel forum.) so it definitely has some advantages, although they can be far too alluring. it's easy to lose track of time on forums for hours, days, or years.
