well uranus ear, we are still waiting for your definition of emo....................
>>By scarletnikki (Thursday, 31 Aug 2006 15:48)
in the present context, a term of abuse used by the chronically dull and witless. Happy now?

Planet ear....if i have misinterpretted your post then you wouldnt mind telling me the meaning of "I have not sought legal advice at this point and trust it will not be necessary as you will now withdraw your accusations without delay." Is it not a threat of legal action should we not apologise? Yes it is quite clearly so. Maybe you should be reading your own posts as well as ours before you continue to waffle because it clearly seems you dont remember your own postings.
But as i pointed out should you do so you would find yourself embarrased and disappointed without a doubt.
2 would you care to point out the exact moment that i incited "violence" towards you? I have not said any such thing, the only thing remotely similar was my pointing out of how idiotic you would look under legal representation and my point that you would too, should the matter have been taken seriously, would most likely have been prosecuted,.
I would again also like to suggest that yes you have commited slander as i am not a "wench". And anything that i have said to you deserved no such insult and i would, despite our disagreement, expected something better from you, for that i am sorry, im very sorry that i thought you were better than you are and make no mistake i shall not assume something as stupid as that again.
And oh look care you note that still no mention of emo has been placed upon this board, despite that fact that everybody now has requested it. Until you do we have every right to assume you know nothing on the subject and have come to cause trouble.
Flagg this is true, but you see on a matter of principle if this discussion is to come back those preventing it should be tackled first. It is his choice whether to join in an emo discussion, but since i left and came back and it had still not returned, it seems that just ignoring the problem does not make it go away. What other choice do i have if i want to talk about emo, while he is here there is no emo discussion, the plan to get his views on it and turn it back into an emo discussion but its not going so well. Hope tekken goes well, brilliant game just completed the 5th one a week or so ago.
Scarlet welcome back, and hello to the other person. Hello to sk8er also.

Spooky LOL. Nope it's not a threat of action if he doesn't apologise, it's why I trust none will be necessary (ie because he withdraws the accusation and apologises) it doesn't rule out there other reasons ie he takes no action himself . Quite elementary really Spooky. So yes I think you do seem to be misrepresenting my post....
Your attitude to violence? Maybe your references to violence are so casual and second nature that you fail even to remember them?
"he probably isn no because in real life he would most likely get twated for being that way. and quite rightly so... unfortunately there isnt a slap planet ear button on here but i might request one" Spookygot
I have expressed no opinion regarding your "wenchness" or otherwise. Spookywench is clearly a character in a piece of fiction...
It is clearly absurd IMO to suggest I am is curtailing your freedom to post regarding "Emo" WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO IT?
As an aside it seems to me hypocrtical to suggest anyone is in any way curtailing your freedom to post while as the same time bandying words like "slander" around, but I accept others may see it differently and have no great interest in discussing the matter.
I would suggest that it would be sensible for all here to stop accusing anyone of slander or similar without having first taken professional legal advice (and no. that does not constitute a threat before anyone tries to misrepresent my comments or fails to understand them)
You have succeeded in boring me utterly now though Spooky. I'll take a break from here for a while and see what exciting conversations you manage without someone to act as your target of abuse.
Bye!

This thing would never get to court, what are you people talking about? They'd think it was a bad joke!
Fair enough Spooky, although in my personal opinion you still seem to be enjoying the argument.
Yeah Tekken Tag Tournament is the one I have. Keep getting my ass kicked by an old man.
>>By Flagg (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 00:09)
yes hallo to all of you!:)
>>By cora2003 (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 00:55)
the old man... heihachi or wang? heihachi most likely on tag, yeah he canbea right bastard but once you got him once your there, it tends to work if you dont let him get a punch in, or at least as little as possible because hes got some powerful moves and it dont take much, so speed normally works best, kick him when hes down, but dont try throws he has a habbit of countering those.
I had the same problem on 5 with the boss on that (i forget his name but hes heihachis dad or something who was madly possessed, hence why jin got a devil gene) absolutely rock hard at first but then we discovered how he was winning and found a way of getting around it so its all good now.
The unknown girl on tag isnt as hard as people made her out to be though, she just looks difficult coz shes got that wolf spirit following her but he doesnt really do anything independantly.
Quality games, my knowledge of tekken is bordering on obsessive i know the whole family tree and how they are all linked its really odd. lol
Planet ear.... regardless of the fact that "spookywench" is a fictional character, it is a fictional character based around myself, fiction or no fiction i resent being called a wench.
My so called violent incentive was not a personal one. Nowhere in there did i say i would personally myself twat you, however i dont think that anybody on this board, even those that agree with you, would deny that if you walked into a bar with this, im right your wrong mr know it all attitude, that you would indeed find yourself on your arse. You do it here because you know that any response would not be of the physical nature, should you have done it to someone else in reality they would no doubt put you straight without so much as a word back.
And dear planet ear if my spookywench character is fictional then maybe you might be able to figure out the the slap planet ear button is a fictional button, its not a real button dont be afraid. (tut a man of your age arguing because theres an imaginary button what will we do.... ooo sorry please note the sarcasm)
Read over my post darlin you will see on several occations i have tried to get you and others to discuss emo, all emo opions have have been received except for yours because you have no opinion on the matter. Despite your damn pride just admit that you have no opinion on emo to give, if you do then give it and for goodness sake start acting your age, because i genuinly 100% thought you were about 15 until someone pointed out the far from teenage man in your picture.
Now for fucks sake emo.... are afi emo now or what? Why is it that labels have been changed now instead of being added to? and what happens is a band that never used to be emo suddenly turns emo such as lost prophets i guess... do all their stuff get classed as emo or just some of it? And if all of it does, does that mean that anything that was under the same old label also get classed as emo?
Hmm thoughts from anyone serious about getting out discussion back because it was going so well before certain company.
>>By spookygoth (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 02:10)
Spooky,
mtv2 had an evening devoted to emo last night. i'd be interested to know which bands come under emo?
>>By scarletnikki (Tuesday, 20 Jun 2006 17:36)
Afraid I can't give a terribly well-informed answer to that Scarlet so I won't bother. I have discovered via this board tho' that teen dresscode prejudice is alive and well in the UK.....
>>By planet ear (Wednesday, 21 Jun 2006 02:20)
How many times do you need to read something before you comprehend it on the whole?
Or are you suffering from amnesia?
Maybe you have perhaps taken recreational chemicals that have reacted unfavourably with your other medication?
I don't know why you're apparently having such difficulty with this concept. i don't have anything much to say about Emo, I said it on the first post I made. I've said it again more recently. It's not a secret. It's not a source of embarassment to me....
THAT'S WHY I DON'T POST ABOUT EMO MUSIC.
Please write something on a post-it and stick on your computer monitor........ or whatever would help you remember, so you can stop boring me and possibly everyone else too saying the same thing again and again and again as if you were a Duracell-powered typing doll.......
*walks away holding head in despair...
>>By planet ear (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 03:01)
Well sometimes I'm good, sometimes I suck. As Hwoarang and Kunimitsu no one is much of a problem to beat - on one of my good days.
But I'm curious: how does one find out about the story of Tekken??
>>By Flagg (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 13:52)
well i found out the links for the the characters in 1,2, and 3 in playstation magazine, had a huge family tree in the middle and from there the stories have been built together and you pick it up through the games with the videos and on 5 the boss when confronted with certain characters such as jin (still cnt remember his name btw and i cnt be bothered to go look) gives a story away, and certain other linked characters when they come into a fight together give a story, only something brief but i just added what i learnt while playing to the family tree.
Yeah Hwoarang is definatelt a top character, winner of iron fist in 3, jin and Nina are great once you know the moves aswell they have like a mass of speial counters to learn, i think i picked up about 7 other throw moves with jin in 3 but on the 5th one the button coordiantions have changed for his character because devil jin uses his original ones.
planet ear, you are the only who has posted of boredom the other people here have requested the same thing from you. And you ONE post slightly relating to the whole thing didnt exactly give anything did it? Be fair with yourself pal, fact of the matter is if you were seriously that bored you wouldnt come back so drop the act. Is your life really that lonely and sad that you would prefer to spend it here with us, than doing anything else? Obviously so.
At least you admit you know nothing about emo and have no wish to post about it, so why are you sad enough to be on a board you wish to talk nothing about? Surely you have far better things to do, oh wait no there i go again assuming something good in you, thats right you dont i forgot pardon me.
So now im mentally ill and in need of medication, and do illegal drugs as well as a wench, now that is slander! hmm why was it necessary? Oh thats right it wasnt.
"walks away holding head in despair..." .... dont let the door hit you on the way out, i trust if you are so bored you wont be back, if you do return after being so bored i really do pitty your life very much.
>>By spookygoth (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 14:56)
Ahh yes i can jinpatchi.. the bosses name is jinpatchi.
>>By spookygoth (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 14:57)
Interesting. I may have to play 5 now. Because I really like these characters, I just don't know anything about them.
>>By Flagg (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 16:11)
LOL Spooky
Please send me the name and UK address of your solicitor (who is, I trust, recognised by the Law Society) or reveal if you yourself are a member of the legal or allied professions. Have they been instructed as yet? I'll write to them with my full name and address.
Regards
>>By planet ear (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 21:32)
OMG i thought you said you were taking a break from here or are you the one suffering from amnesia,go back to the john denver discussion board where you belongtalking about something which is more suited to your own crap genre of music instead of talking a load of complete guff in here.do you need me to repost this to you personally as i fear your amnesia is getting serverly bad now.maybe you should just get the "country roads to take you home to the place you belong" a galaxy far far away called planet ear which is full of wanna be recognised crap musicians like yourself!!!did you get that ok??
let me know if you want me to retort!!! bbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont worry
you wont be missed!!
>>By villevalo (Friday, 1 Sep 2006 22:31)
That was my intention but I understood everyone was keen to talk about Emo music which blatantly wasn't the case was it?

hehehe, planet ear's very silly...
On the topic of emo, can one be emo without conforming to spookygoth's perception of the stereotypical emo and without listening to emo music? And when you really get down to it, what is an American emo? What similarities are there between American and British emos? We sorta touched on that topic earlier but never came to a conclusion, mm?
>>By Sk8a H8a (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 01:04)
planet please go away if you could possibly do so or we are all just gonna totally ignore all comments you make and never return the favour of giving you satifaction for all the crap you talk about.you either get lost or take a hint cos were through with you.go back to john denver as you were told or maybe its willie nelson or was it shaken stevens i cant recall maybe because i dont give a fuck!!!
>>By villevalo (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 01:32)
Villevalo? I'm curious as to the correct pronunciation of Ville. Is it Ville with a hard "il" sound as in "Vile" or is the "ill" pronounced more softly as in the English word "illiterate"?
>>By planet ear (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 01:57)
yeah so much for your break dear planet ear.. i rest my case about your life being a lonely and pathetic one. Hmmm you can post in protest all you like but it would seem that i was correct and people do want to talk about emo and not with you. Bye planet ear, or wil you be returning again after the depression of your life has sunk in again?
It would appear that you simply arnt understand this at all so its time to put it to you in the most simplest form. Planet ear.... people dont like you, your so called opinions or pointless ramblings .... therefore it is safe to say people are telling you in a nice way to fuck off. F.U.C.K. . .O.F.F if you need it spelling. It obvious you cant take the many hints.
Flagg i think i play them games waaay too much but its paid off if i ever need a degree in tekken i will pass with ease i reckon. Lol But the tekken games absolutely rule.
Sk8er... i think all stereotypes of different people are different here than in america, we need someone form america to explain what they are all like over there i think. I think we established that emos didnt dress or act the same there but that was around about it. We had someone on here confused by the whole pants around knees showing off thier underwear thing, but i dont remember if they were american or just from another part of England.
>>By spookygoth (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 15:05)
Just to demonstrate your lack of critical thought processes again Spooky is I were to go out and look for Emos and "report back" as you suggest what would I find? Obviously I'd look for people who in some way conformed to my preconception of an Emo. I could then report back that there were indeed people I called Emos who conformed in action or appearance to my preconception. Not terribly valuable infomation. In your case if you use Emo as a term of abuse then unsurprizingly Emos are not very commendable in your estimation.
Why do you feel a need to put people down?
It's rather like having a board labeled "criminals" and posting, as if it were some great revelation, that "shock, horror" those "criminals have been convicted of crime"......
The entirety of your ridiculous display of "verbal" aggression towards me basically stems from one post where rather than arguing about the points I made you lauched into a vicious tirade against my presentation rather than my points. Much the same thing can be seen on other music boards, and I wouldn't even have noticed that if it weren't for an earlier version of your profile boasting about "giving as good as your get" on the Andrew WK board. Maybe you are proud of ability to rant and evade points? Maybe it serves you well in other areas of your life? I don't know.........while it amused me initially it has frankly become rather dull now to observe your endless evasion of most forms of logical argument. Maybe it is genuine self-deception? Maybe it is a some issue of pride that you must win a "confrontation" (I can hardly call your posts an argument on the whole, that would imply they contained some logical revelance to the issue being debated).
I predict you will now lauch into some vicious and misplaced character assasination and rant against me. You are welcome to prove me wrong on that score.
>>By planet ear (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 21:54)
>while it amused me initially it has frankly become rather dull now
Pretty much sums up this whole thing.
I do wish you'd all stop using so many inverted commas, it's really rather annoying.
Tekken are the best beat-'em-ups, easily. I don't play many beat-'em-ups though. If someone were to put a gun to my head and say 'Complete five Final Fantasy games in one day' though, I wouldn't be that worried.
I don't think emos are anything, really. There's nothing there behind the clothes. No one can decide which bands are emo and which ones aren't, no one really believes emos are genuinely depressed. People just see someone with black and yellow hair and no stubble and think 'emo'. They are characterised more by MySpace than by the music they listen to.
>>By Flagg (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 22:36)
Are quotation marks old-fashioned nowadays then? It's strange how conventions change even in ones' own lifetime......
>>By planet ear (Saturday, 2 Sep 2006 23:39)
I didn't say quotation marks, I said inverted commas, and to my knowledge no they're not old-fashioned. They just annoy the hell out of me. Like, just then, if I'd been you I would have typed 'no they're not ''old-fashioned''' with absolutely no reason to include them.
>>By Flagg (Sunday, 3 Sep 2006 13:04)
i agree with your last point there Flagg,emo seems to be a vague but widely spread sub-culture. There will be people who look like emo's who listen to all sorts of music ,and people who don't look like that who listen to what they consider to be emo. just like in all genres.
>>By scarletnikki (Sunday, 3 Sep 2006 13:22)
Exactly, but what I'm saying is emo is different from other genres/sub-cultures because the look is literally the ONLY thing all emos have in common. Unless you count MySpace, they all seem to have MySpaces. Even goths, who are pretty diverse, listen to at least some of the same music as one another.
>>By Flagg (Sunday, 3 Sep 2006 15:00)
planet ear, ville is pronounced veal-a . or some pronounce it vill-a .
>>By scarletnikki (Sunday, 3 Sep 2006 15:44)
planet ear has a point... if you'd put inverted commas around "old-fashioned", as I just did right there, they would indeed represent quotation marks - nothing wrong with that - why would punctuation annoy you? Then again, you may have noticed my tendency to avoid full stops because I don't like them
I believe the point of the discussion before planet ear ruined it was that those people we have categorised as emo (for their dress sense, obsession with myspace and musical taste) are perceived as a problem in society because of their irresponsible attitude - spookygoth has cited more than enough examples of this and although emos are not as bad as chavs, they are generally slightly more intelligent and can be associated with other alternatives, myself included! This apparent invasion of our scene is a threat...
planet ear seems to believe that emo is just a term of abuse - it is a term of abuse but so is "Nazi" - basically it's often used light-heartedly as a sort of insult or to describe something which is leaning towards emo but also to actually refer to emos fitting the emo code
>>By Sk8a H8a (Sunday, 3 Sep 2006 19:40)
"in the present context, a term of abuse"
