Ok. I still think this kids a fag. But tony has a point. I gotta give it to this kid for enduring all the shit and not running home with his tail between his legs. That being said, spence is still a little faggot.
Yeah but xmikex said it best, if you're not a good sport about being shat on, you'll continue to be shat on. It's no fun making fun of someone that takes it with a grain of salt.
I have no beef with the kid. I think he's just acting his age. He's obviously into metal and I think it's good to see someone from a younger age group getting that much into it. I'll probably take all kinds of shit for saying that, but on RTTP, I'm far too used to it to care.

What would you rather he do? Get butthurt, come back here calling everyone a faggot making empty threats to fight everyone, eventually get beat up and then become a timeless RTTP running joke?

Bear with me. Just DLed SwiftKey on my phone (thanks john) and it adds words. I also don't give a fuck about grammar or spelling when it's typed on a phone.
Not everyone can take jocular criticism (especially on the internet which lacks tone of voice) and everyone has a breaking point. The funny thing is that you think I'm really irked by anything that you or others have said about me on here. ON MY FORUM

Yeah but that's you Alex. You want to be a pompous elitist who acts like he owns everything and is better than everyone, it's the worst type of elitism mainly because it's NOT METAL AT ALL. It's not even like your intolerant towards metal, you're intolerant to people who don't type as well as you. You're just another yuppie I beat the shit out of in high school, I love beating on arrogant rich kids who think they are better than everyone. Bottom line is your a jew troll who talks shit about everyone and everyone fucking hates you and your shitty band. You keep coming back for more even though you're not welcome. So whatever, you can try to be the martyr here but the bottom line is you suck at the internet. At least Spence talks about music.

Seriously. It's refreshing to see a regular here who actually uses this forum to talk about music. Isn't that what it was intended for in the first place?
I understand that RTTP is what it is and it's unlikely that will ever change. But it's also cool to see a thread that's just about music sometimes.

Those words mean so much, coming from you who doesn't know me at all. Maybe if you did, you'd realize that I'm kidding around in posts where I give aril shit. Guess I do look like a huge dick if you take everything I say here seriously. I'm not gonna bother retaliating because you do a good enough job making yourself look foolish with every post. Keep it up, your hair is beautiful.

Everything changed once there was a tag for random images. It lowered the bar pretty hard. There were tons more show listings 5 years ago. Now it's like one or two "promoters" who are in bands who get ripshit if someone books a show on the same night.
Can't we all just get along. We all have nice hair.
post by BSV at Jan 15,2013 1:51pm
That's why Alex is the Prince of the Funderground. I judge a man by what he says and writes. You claim half of what you say is a joke and not serious. So therefore, you're a joke that I don't take serious. It's not my fault I'm protective over something you shit on. And of course my hair is beautiful, faggot.
So therefore, you're a joke that I don't take serious.
I only wish you meant this. Then you might not get so many split ends when I talk about non-metal poseur things on a metal forum.

Go ahead, keep being a hack using my quotes to quote you. One of these days you'll grow up and learn to think for yourself.

1.) this forum was never solely about music, though it certainly had more posts about it back in the day.
2.) anonymous trash talking sacred most people away and to this day has reached an all time low in regards to how lame it is.
3.) I admit I partook in the perpetual demise of this forum, mostly toying around with alx's ego and yes, I am well aware of how annoying it looked.
4.) the local "scene"has changed drastically. Facebook has changed everything. quite honestly, facebook is the reason why this site is no longer used as a means show promotion. The show at Obriens the other night was packed apparently, and 5 people posted in the thread here.
5.) the metal underground is now the FUNDERGROUND and everyone is so happy and smiley with harsh, hateful music playing in the background
Most of us here are nearing our 30s and 40s. 10 years ago everything was different. The Internet generation and Facebook has changed it all.
Spence, while outspoken for his age, certainly shows poise and believes in what he says. I dont dislike him at all, though I acknowledge the fact that we all grew up in a scene that was completely different. Rttp forum has been around for sometime now.

TRUE. 90 paid people with next to no promotion on RttP. Social media pulled alot of posters away from promoting here. It's funny how some many people who hated on RttP years ago are some of the most active posters nowadays....

Spence may be an active part of the next generation of metalheads/music -lovers.....but I also heard he's a brony...............
Kinda crazy how perpetually toying with my ego caused the demise of the forum and got you temp-banned. And here I thought we were just slicking away the day at work in the name of FUN.
post by BSV at Jan 15,2013 2:19pm
It's not crazy, it's basic common sense. Act like a retard and you're a retard. Talk shit, get hit. Post stupid shit, get insulted. Anyone who posts more cat meme's than words about Aura Noir is NOT HELPING and cares more about preservation of the ego rather than adding to the collective tribe. Stop blaming the world and us for your douchbaggery.

You just took my sarcastic post seriously.
Mind explaining how posting cat pictures affects my ego?
Acting like a retard, you mean like how you start shit in my show threads? I don't really care because it keeps them bumped, but it is somewhat rude.
And I will never stop blaming all of you for me being a douchebag.

Yeah, I've worked with students with disabilities before I have no problem helping you understand the errors of your ways.
sar·cas·tic
/särˈkastik
Adjective
Marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt.
A) Every single post you make apparently is sarcastic, yet it's not funny, not even in the black english humor style of BBC sarcasm, I mean it's just out and out selfish to post that crap. That's fine, you want to use your time on public forum to be sarcastic but furthermore just proves your inability to be rational or realistic. You care more about making a mockery and conveying your contemptibly for most of the people here. I don't like seeing my friends being mocked.
B) Cat memes affect your ego because that's one of your many defensive mechanisms. When faced with responsible hostility from people you agitate, you post a picture of a cat because your ego is unable to think for itself, therefore you are weak and unable to process any sort of rational defense for your own well-being which in turn not only affects but preserves your ego.
C) Acting like a retard by blaming ME for calling you out in your threads is just another defensive mechanism that gives you the ability to be a child and not accept responsibility for your actions. I hope it keeps getting bumped because you are fraud, an asshole elitist, and an arrogant child who deserves to get called out and exposed for being a fraud.
But hey that's you. You choose to look the other way when fingers are pointed at you. You choose to act like a girl in a man's world. Stop blaming me for you inability to man up and accept responsibility for shit you say and do. Everytime you post, I destroy you. Go away, no one likes you. Oh wait, you'll probably come back to stoke up your ego some more anyways, I forgot you don't exist outside of this board. It's all your fault.

Yeah, I really don't post much anymore because I prefer to discuss music and there are far more bizarre troll threads that, for the most part, make absolutely no sense. I see people getting worked up over this kid and I don't really get it. When I was younger and just getting into metal, I also talked shop with dudes much older than me and they never treated me like I was some new jack poseur.
We all had an appreciation for underground music and that's what mattered the most. There was never any dick measuring contests, and at that time, metal was more niche appeal so everyone was pretty enthusiastic about just being able to talk about bands and shows with like-minded individuals.
I only see this kid posting about shows and stuff, and while I'm not sure how much I'd have in common with him, as far as band are concerned, at least he tries to talk about music.
I haven't really seen any posts from him that strike me as uber-elitist or him going out of his way to be confrontational with other posters, at least by my criteria, but maybe he has and I've just missed those threads/posts.

this pretty much sums up how I feel about this thread.
Maybe you're right, BSV. I don't like how you say it but there's some truth in your words. Thanks for taking the time to spell it out for me, I'm going to think about what you said.
Did anyone really give Spencer that much shit? People just said they didn't like the bands he posted about.If anyone should get sympathy it's Hooked on Metal\ Thundersteel. That dude gets picked on constantly.

1. I honestly expected this to be a total shitfest, thank you all for giving me one of the best laughs i've had in a while. This thread is great.
2. That's right! Mutiny Within dropped off the earth within only a few months after that palladium show. All for the better, metalcore bands aren't even worthy of touring with shit like Arch Enemy or Epica.
3. I actually do enjoy MLP! Haha I wouldn't call myself a brony though, more like just a kid who actually enjoys watching a show with my 5 year old niece when i'm babysitting. haha
4. Poor Carmine. Dude gets way too much hate. And fuck it, i'll go on record and say that Seax is one of the few Spence-approved local bands. haha

Some of Spence's posts and threads are pretty lame and annoying, but the shit that pisses me off about them is the shit I used to pull in forums/chatrooms back when I was around his age. And frankly the whole 'trying to be cool while carefully making it look like we're not trying to be cool' is the same shit we've all done as teenagers.
The whole complaint about a music site not talking about music has existed forever and is probably true for any site or community. I remember constantly bitching in AOL chatrooms, back when those still existed, about how they barely talked about metal. There have been too many trolls lately so it's just been more obvious.
Aril and BSV are right about the site's decline about shows. Bog of the Infidel just booked Master with their only New England date and no one's even responded to the damn thread. I definitely miss when this site was the go to site for talking about specific shows, before, during, and afterwards. It was the only reliable source to get up to date info about bands dropping off, set times, and then honest reviews and anything interesting shit that happened. I guess Facebook is the supposedly replacement for this, but most of the posts on any Event pages are in there are people's lame excuses for not going and I've almost never seen anyone post in an Event page after the show happened. So that sucks.
About 99% of what Alex says on here is sarcastic as shit, but not the fun and cheeky sarcasm.

Ban everyone who doesn't know what twiztio is and hasn't met Joe Notcommon in person.
If you haven't had a musical disagreement with Joe only to get roped into a life long feud that somehow involves people from parts of Quincy and Dorchester you've never even been to then you don't even know how to RTTP.

I drove him home from a show once. It was toward the end of the Notcommon RTTP era, though.
What I don't remember is, how did he end up at a show with no ride home? I just remember our mutual hatred of Kenny Lanning. Amazing how many of you I've bonded with or befriended over hating that retard.

I think this thread is long enough to call for a guitar solo break.
My girlfriend and I were hosting an Icelandic friend of hers for a night this past weekend. He had never been to Boston and we tried to take him to Apollo in Chinatown for some sushi late Saturday night. We're walking to the restaurant and I turn to him and say "This is Chinatown. This is where you go to battle. Any time two people on the internet meet to fight, this is where they go." He said okay and left it at that.

you're totally right. aside from a few exceptions there is next to zero talk about shows local or otherwise. there's precious little that keeps me coming back that probably would be time used on facebook if i had one.
