Okay, I am sick of hearing about lip syncing

Feanor,

It's not about lip syncing in general, it is about the OP who stated that due to his expertise, that there was no way she was faking it. In reality, her lips moved and some sound came out, but the whole world heard a recording.

The issue is that the OP made a definitive statement and was wrong and is still trying to deflect and make up excuses as to why he was not.

She faked it, she admitted it, the people who put the fluff on admitted it, but the OP is having a hard time following suite.

Maybe what needs to happen is for members to learn to moderate themselves. I am surprised by how people type to one another. Sure I could close the thread and then the PM messages start arriving with members complaining they did not get to respond. I think this is the kind of site the members must want since it keeps happening time after time. No matter how much moderation there is a site is only as good as the contributions of the members. If you contribute garbage the site will become garbage.

I'm amazed at the tolerance of moderators for gratuitous personal insults. Some sites would delete or redact this stuff.

I also observe that moderators have, and various occasions, been less tolerant of controversial topics, even in Off-Topic/Non-Audio, than they are for vitriolic personal abuse, (a.k.a. "flames"). Sorry, this make no sense to me.

For my part I'm the "don't give a rat's ass" category when it comes to whether Beyonce lip-synced -- I don't expect much genuineness from the entertainment or political industries in this day & age. It's all smoke & mirrors.

We are all sexual and our preference is irrelevant. What matters to me is to get this guy straightened out. I took a small leap in guessing his preference. No one would consider that this guy is in his right mind, but what makes him this way is the big question. I've seen people act similarly when they are feeling the frustrations of loneliness and lack of human contact. Once they met someone, the change was miraculous towards the good. As for his preference, well it's simple. Women are not that hard to get, especially after you get out of your twenties. It seems that older women are ready to settle down with someone and they lower their standards quite a bit. So if women are readily available and he is still alone, then there has to be some other reason. I can only think of two. Either he prefers men or women don't find him appealing. I opted for the first one because it is kinder. You will notice that none of his posts here or on any other site mentions a female in his life. There is a third option and that is that he has a mate but is extremely unhappy with them.

In any case, it was a shot in the dark. If it had worked than maybe he might gain a little clarity of mind and a better disposition.

Until that happens, many of us are tired of his insults and won't put up with it any longer. When it comes to social interactions, he has to be the stupidest man on the planet. He seems to think that by insulting us, it somehow makes him superior. He also thinks that if we respond in kind, it adds to this superiority, because he believes he is pulling the strings, making us dance like puppets. That couldn't be further from the truth. I don't much care what he says any more only what he acts like.

Feanor is right, but until we "all" act civil this will crop up again. On the other hand John you are right too. We are all adults.

I betcha that if T's insults could be reigned in, this could be a home where the buffalo roam... Where seldom is heard a discouraging word...



Everyone now... "And the sky is not cloudy all day..."

Steve to say preference is wrong. People have sexual orientation. Preference indicates choice. You are really reaching.

I also find it interesting that you think all the problems are one person's fault.

It' seems our "act" have quieted T down.

That's the entire purpose of our replies.

"orientation"...got it.

As for one persons fault, look at who starts this silliness. You will notice that everything else is in response to that.
