I am not stepping on other's perspectives. Not at all. I was actually being
fecitious, though my tone of voice *evidently* doesn't come through in these
e-mails...lol....;) I love my music, and I love to look at things through
other's eyes. But I also love to debate, and I figured I would make the most
out of it. You don't know me, and thuis don't knoiw my reaction to things
and shouldn't be so quick to assume I was stompiong on others oponions. I
hate people who do that, with a passion. I have to admit, I am a bit of a
tradsnob when it comes to music and such, but I am open minded enough to
look at things from more than one presepective. I was being sarcastic, but
when I got the impression that people were being, well, nasty towards what I
had to say. So, I went on the defensive. The only reason I am bothering to
explain myself is because I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of
me. I am incredibly friendly, really a nice person. So....
Blessed Be
Kimber the Wrestler
