[QUOTE=denquixote] You know this is tiresome. I read the guys post and frankly I agree with it. The vast majority of the subjects there are kind of lowbrow. … If the majority of the subjects were about philosophy, great 19th century composers, writers, painters, sculptors or whatever highbrow subjects might be discussed I would never have joined and certainly would never enter that site. [/quote] Did you read the Cafe Society thread? He admitted that he had dismissed the entire forum as being lowbrow _without actually reading any but one of the threads._ Based on the thread titles alone, he began bashing the entire forum. When presented with a well-rounded list of thread titles, containing (as you say) writers, painters, and various highbrow subjects, he dismissed them all. Merely by looking at the titles. It’s hard for anybody to walk away with the notion that **SBSO** is remotely interested in an honest discussion of content quality improvement when he so eagerly engages in knee-jerk dismissal of anything with an unsavory _name._ And as **SBSO** so eagerly labels, he is eagerly labeled. ---
