So basically what you're saying is that you have no taste or thought on your own, and no one should pay attention to what you have to say. Thanks, that's all I wanted to know.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

Now I don't know whether you're expecting anyone here to buy that your day is really so damn busy that you literally have no time to "risk" spending some time on a potentially bad musical experience (that would still enhance your view, knowledgea and tastes), while constantly posting comments that take hardly less time to write than to click on a few of those links and give some stuff a shot

That's why I volunteered the bit about valuing forum chatting. Also I stream radio while working/chatting, and I would have to interrupt it to put on youtube clips. That's called an opportunity cost, and one that I'm not willing to expend.

- but one thing is certain, by openly take such a passive, "selective" approach to what you watch or listen to in the first place, you completely destroy your credibility as any sort of critic with an opinion from the get-go.

Passive and selective are diametrically opposed concepts, BTW.

Not to mention the whole story about "commenting on things you don't know about" - as soon as you find yourself at a place in a discussion where you don't have the "time", or interest, or are too lazy to look into someone's examples or arguments, the only step you can reasonably take is BOW OUT OF THE DISCUSSION.

I AM THE DISCUSSION!
