Sorry I was slow to reply to this. Today wasn't the usual waste your workday on a message board day. Rather, I spent half the day doing Take You Kid to Work Day and the other half struggling to catch up on work.
In all honesty, my comment was meant to make fun of my perception of a typical Nick Cave fan....40 year old dads (do hot 25 yr old women listen to Nick Cave? I think not!) desperate to hold onto their hipster cred, likely spends too much time in record stores (whatever they are) at the expense of family time.
If you want to take that as a personal criticism of your parenting skills, go ahead. I apologize if it made you feel bad, though it probably didn't. And you probably enjoyed calling me an asshole. So you probably got pleasure from the exchange. It probably made you feel like a real tough guy! But it wasn't meant as a personal criticism, because I don't even know you.. As long as your partner and your kids think you're a good parent, that's all that matters, right?
I'm not sure what you mean by "pc police" either. i'm not comfortable putting pictures of my kid online....don't do Facebook or Tweeter, but tolerate my wife doing it....but if that's your thing, post away. Maybe you could start a kids pictures thread?
And what the hell, I'll play the stupid game. Best bands in the world? For varying reasons:
Rolling Stones
Yo La Tengo
Wilco
My Morning Jacket
Dr. Dog
I won't more people with my reasons, because nobody cares.
Au Revoir
There's plenty more Eric Toth's out there.
so what is he going to do with a picture of a kid? Jerk off to it?
I personally don't see any reason not to share a picture of my kids...but I removed it just not to have to deal with the pc police which is what you are...not worth the hassle.. personally I find it offensive that you would even go there to question my parenting or what kind of "man" i am because I went to a record store instead of playing with my kids as you wrote.....I think you crossed the line there.. its one thing to argue strongly about music.. but when you start personalizing it like that and getting people's kids involved.. i think thats piss poor and you get the asshole of the week award.
