Yeah, when someone is bashing your head against the sidewalk, you should just let them keep doing it, until you need at least 10 stitch before defending yourself.
It's not his politics I mind - although they're far removed from my own - but his tone, general attitude and the way he responds to views different from his. We're all shaped by the way we see the world, be it in accordance with or opposing our opinions, but Aaron's demeanour is so endlessly abrasive and dismissive that I genuinely believe that this place would be better off without him. Again, he is certainly entitled to his views, as are all of us, but when a person spends so much time insulting strangers and hiding behind web based anonymity, it makes me wonder about their personality and social skills. One might call it sociopathy or even autism, but Aaron is nothing but a discordant presence. I've no idea about this, and I'm happy to be corrected, but does he ever discuss MUSIC or the band we're all here to share our love for?
