To a certain extent I think that you are attacked personally on here and I don't like to see the personal attacks on anyone.
That said. You don't engage with the the people who try to engage with you on an Academic Level. Some people challenge your archaic views and put forward strong contrasting views to your own.
You seem to ignore those contrasting arguments and won't address historical facts put to you. You simply gloss over people's questions to you. And you not only gloss over people's questions but you repeat the views which you have again. Thus leaving other posters frustrated. Because the courteously address your views but you won't address theirs . Especially if their post challenge you with intellectual historical facts.
That behaviour leaves posters frustrated with you.
I don't like seeing you being persecuted or verbally attacked for your views but I can understand why you frustrate some people.
If it is simply because you don't have enough knowledge in a subject to respond to a post.
Go look up the facts on things. I promise you. If you open your mind to knowledge. You will empower yourself. So long as it's to factual teaching and not indoctrination. Which is what we have in our schools.
My schooling bears absolutely no resemblance on the facts in relation to history. I Han to totally unlearn a lot of what I was taught and it is the best thing I ever did.

That's a bit assumptive, sometimes its just right not to show any expression, I have been doing it for years, of course this is used only on certain posters. Ps not you.

Is that you on the sax in the profile pic? Surely, you'd deem the likes of Kamasi Washington, who was one of a host of jazz musicians involved in Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, to be a musician. But Lamar's album is not music?

Something to do with him posting something anti-semitic, I think.

I'm not much of a fan of gangster rap, but then I don't think it was aimed at me. The 'rap' s not music' argument is a bit outdated though. Rap and hip-hop, punk and disco were seventies New York's gift to the world. As a music, hip-hop has proven itself multi-varied, hugely significant and massively influential. It's shown staying power and has been the basis for some of the most original new forms of musical expression to have emerged over the last five decades.The "that,s not singing" argument could be equally applied to Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Mark E Smith, John Lydon and countless other rock artists. It doesn't matter. I have always found with music that if you try to meet it halfway and understand it's intent, you'll more than likely get something from it. By dismissing an entire style, you're missing an opportunity to enrich your experience.
Yeah, just looked into it. Looks like he shared a few memes, including one featuring the London mural that Corbyn shared last year. Looks like he's not backing down.

Yep, that is me on my alto, playing with my band Hawkstone, I play clarinet and am vocals as well.
I know of and have listened to many players over the years, but not really a fan of these crossovers to try and make it more acceptable.
I would accept it more as spoken verse to a backing track, which is usually written by someone else.
'Poetry' rather than music.

Ok, from the word 'punk' onwards I can get, but nothing before.
I have heard enough of it, mind you none of my kids like it either, to know it is not for me.

No I was banned not for trolling but for having the 'wrong' views. Are you able to provide some examples of my 'snide between the lines' posts please? So I'm a 'sexist' and a 'racist' but I've said if the Albion had a disabled, muslim lesbian as a manager who steered us to safety I'd be very happy, you can't get much more 'inclusive' than that.
How do you know I have a 'sad little existence' ? How do you define it?
I banned you for trolling. You openly admitted you were only here to wind up the NSC "lefty liberal elite". The admin note on your ban, visible to all moderators says "trolling" as does my check message on the mods WhatsApp.

Do you enjoy being a moderator?
The pay is terrible and there are some strange rituals but it's mostly worth it to spend half your time online being stalked by dickheads.

I do like winding up the nsc liberal elite however the views that 'achieve' this are what I believe in, I would express them regardless of whether it winds other posters up or whether every poster on here said 'yes totally agree with you'. Its a chat forum which means it will attract views from all different viewpoints.

That’s reassuring. It’s healthy to sometimes think out of the box , look at issues from more than one viewpoint . It does seem to be that the majority or perhaps it’s just the posters on NSC that shout the loudest are drawn from quite a narrow viewpoint . That’s not healthy for debate or this message board .

I think what's interesting is that, coming from a liberal lefty type like me, I often see, or perceive, that it's the other side doing much of the shouting and goading. Seems both sides of any argument will see it that way ie of being the voice of reason in the face of waves of unrelenting antagonism.
It's partly why I never really bother to debate. I'm not going to change anyone's mind unless I mine some golden vein of persuasive argument, so why bother? All that'll happen is some internet shouting and then me slinking off to talk to my similar minded friends about an argument I "won". Nobody wins really.
But as we're on the subject of "gangsta" rap, I'll drop this in, powerful words from, by his own admission, a "thug"
