Hi.

You posted this in a VM on my page: "So you're saying that MMers criticize Muse? I have not seen one post by a legit MMer that has anything negative toward Muse.

Mockery and rude humor have a major difference. Grant it, some things in "Lolz" are giggle-worthy, but for the most part...not so much. I try to be as open-minded as I can at all times, so I can see the general direction of where the humor comes from, but I don't find it funny or original."

Re. the first point: R U serious?!? "Legit" [??] MMers are just as critical of Muse as Banterers, although the latter camp is probably more snarky about it on the whole. Check out any gig thread, where the setlist beef sets in, for ex.

Re. your second point as to humor, that's how I feel about the Banter forum subculture here. A bit too 4Chan-y for my taste. If you have a jones for spoofing off of Muse, you might want to try the caption thread in Other Muse Topics. The humor there is often very lolzy, only they don't bother with actual text superimpositions. (Their hit-and-miss ratio is probably about the same, though.) Also, their takes are strictly single-panel, so there's none of the annoyingly long storylines, point-by-point pop culture parodies, etc. that sometimes pop up in lolz. Different strokes for different folks...?
