And the person who always knows more is invariably you, of course! You, who so readily 'admits to ignorance', who is this unlimited fountain of knowledge, always accessible and open for discussion. Have you not noticed that the only moments you believe the discussion is actually 'edifying' and good, are exclusively moments in which we agree or are very close to agreeing?
Confession: I know very little about any electronic music and 90% of it does very little for me aside from the odd club or festival visit or particular mood. I came into this with a bit of a different intent, purposefully mirroring your own dismissiveness, then loaded out copious ad hominems in your own style, to lastly just asking up front: ok, so write up why this deserves all the praise. As expected with the first two approaches the reaction is very defensive and sour, but even a simple not-too-strongly worded question only has you return in a mildly lighter stage of a sour mood. Whatever one writes it's obvious that if one disagrees with you they have to walk on the most fragile of eggshells. This is not me diverting into a mock-affront but trying the absolute hardest to pry open your eyes to your own ironic narrow mindedness, your ineffectiveness at enthusing or actually convincing others (rather the opposite happens) and the foul effect of the personal jabs/dismissiveness so frequently unloaded.
Cue here a comment of yours on internet-psychology whatever - your posting history and interaction with others is certainly a reflection of whatever goes on in that mind, and a long storied history of borderline internet bullying doesn't reflect all that well. It's endlessly curious to me, but I'll leave it at that.
