First, the way I see it is that anyone who wants to post new music has been and is always welcome to post it any time they want to in the Users Showcase. Nobody's going to tell them they think their music sucks because it sounds new. Anyone who actually posts music and even the lurkers know that - it's obvious. So anyone thinking there should be more "new"music - POST SOME.

Second, when I want to check out a new product that has a board "off topic" is NOT where I look to find out how people feel about and use the product. It's the last place I'd go. I'd be looking at the showcase, new users, and the product forum threads.

Third, I don't get the big deal and why this topic keeps coming up. We keep circling the same tree. There are always going to be people who say they can't stand so and so - who cares - if you like so and so what difference does it make - none - I'm sure I don't like some artists they like old or new.

Let's get real. Start all the new topics, threads and forums you want and if somebody feels like spouting their opinion they are going to do it. Younger people have grown up on social media - they know this. Anybody who hasn't lived off the grid for the past twenty years knows this and is used to it. A civil discusssion is what we already have here. Nobody is cursing anybody out or calling anyone names for liking or not liking any artist or type of music.

Give people here a little credit. We don't need any more eggshells to walk on. This is one of the most civil forums out there. Sure, I'd like if everyone agreed with my taste but they don't. My closest friends from childhood and my husband likes artists I don't.

If someone not agreeing with someone else's opinion on musical taste bothers a person that much perhaps a little therapy is in order.

I'm going to go work on a song. smile
