Who else is against China hosting the olympics? - that was the topic.
I asked why I should be against that, Aaron stated his point, I answered that China is not that different to America in the aspects he mentioned. I guess, noone would be against the Olympics in the US, right?

The rest is lies, insults, foul language and questions from me that were'nt answered.
That's how I see it.

Originally posted by markp91[..]That's true, but I think that the discussion was a bit to personal...not about China and Tibet, but Aaron VS Yeah...

Okay, thanks for sharing your opinion...You're kinda right 'bout it, from a certain point it was useless discussion...

It seemed that Aaron was also drawing on past exchanges as back up for his arguments (whatever they were), but I think that the fact you managed to get a Crew Member virtually shouting at you was pretty impressive lol, and in some perverse way you should be congratulated. Neither side's approach was endearing to an argument (i.e. the one side getting overreactive although not any clear reason, as far as I could see; the other doing a good job in exacerbating such a stance), but it was one of the most heated debates ever seen on this forum and as such will no doubt go down in infamy.

I don't think the discussion was useless. I also don't ask anyone to agree with my position in the "Olympic question". Everyone is entiteled to give their opinion - but one can discuss that matter in an intelligent way.
"Fuck you, you're a prick, let's knock this piece of trash down" doesn't add much to a discussion. Also, false accusations don't add anything.

Anyway, once the new album is out people will have other things to discuss.

Originally posted by markp91[..]BTW I think it's not very good that Nate got himself so involved in this... IMO a crew member should be neutral...But I probably couldn't do it...

Indeed, that is most true. However, accusing them of liars is a strong thing to do, but that said they were accusing you too of god knows what, so it's a case of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. The fact you brought up the old stabbing theme again, i.e. "I'll stab you down, pricks" wasn't probably a good idea, but on that note, the use of the term "fuck you" doesn't lend itself to positive constructive discussion.
