Okay, I am sick of hearing about lip syncing

JohnMichael, isn't it about time this thread was closed and/or moved to Steel Cage?

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.

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.
