I've had to grit my teeth not to get involved in any "they aren't crap" - "yes they are" type arguments, particularly as many of the bands mentioned are ones that I like.
I would tend to agree, and it's clear that the shit-list wasn't really what the thread as about anyway. Maybe it's that sense of catharsis that leads to these purges.
I can see both sides of this and they're both valid. More importantly, what I would say is I'd draw a line when it comes to HH regulars feeling uncomfortable with a thread. That's not what we're about. Call me idealistic, but I've come to realise that there's a genuine community on HH and I appreciate that. I suspect we all do.
