What are you talking about, Rocket?

DiscoLad said:1. Depends who you ask.
2. As if you don't troll. After seeing what Ol' Sharkey says while I'm not around has lead me to lurk.
Montana Smith said:Go on. Admit it, you're trolling. Just like me.
Coming here is like rubber-necking at the scene of a road accident.
No, it's the complete opposite.DiscoLad said:As if you don't troll.
Do you really want me to? There is plenty of evidence but this isn't the place for it.DiscoLad said:Cite some evidence of this man crush? I'm unaware.

Stoo said:Hey, now! 'Muffin' is a rather cute nickname, don't ya think? My question was specifically aimed at the IndyCast crew. Disco is just trolling this thread...begging for attention. (His 'man-crush' for me is no secret.)

Stoo said:@Violet: Do you see, Sarah? Do y'see? Disco is an attention-begging troll...
Discolad said:I want all you got.
But you are right, this isn't the place. Let's take it elsewhere. Name it.
But I want evidence.
I'm not arguing, Violet. Muffins are cute. Where is the insult?Violet said:Argue all you like Stoo as to the cuteness of the name "muffin" - it doesn't matter what the word is,
Please notice that I was attempting to get the thread back on track...(instead of letting it get de-railed by a certain...whatever...."troll").Violet said:Now please- the rest of you return to discussing the topic.
P.S. My Raven PM box is full but Disco tried to PM me *3* times within the last hour! Please, stop!Stoo said:Moving forward...
@Ed: Any update on an interview with Kim Belair?

Montana Smith said:Sharkey, if The Indy Cast really annoys you, why do you bother listening?
It's not as if it's compulsory listening.
I don't count myself among those who listen avidly to every episode, but I don't see the need to trash something that a lot of people obviously enjoy. There's a difference between constructive criticism and wanton snidey remarks.
We're waiting for something constructive from you, Monty.Montana Smith said:Go on. Admit it, you're trolling. Just like me.

Nobody knows if I listen to the latest Indy Cast or not. I wouldn't admit it. I may just need to check that my assumptions are correct once in a while.
And yes, Sharkey's reviews are the main attraction.

TheIndyOpinion said:It's been a fascinating odyssey to watch Montana go from that response to Sharkey back in May to this:
TheIndyOpinion said:something constructive

Montana Smith said:I've employed a gentle dose of mischief. If you read carefully you'll see there's never any teeth, and mischief is the alternative to full-on constructive criticism. And you'd like me even less if I got constructive. You were correct before, it's very "Sharkey-lite".
This is a thread that Sharkey frequents, so hence the "rubber necking". You never know what he'll say - and that's the grim fact of rubber-necking at road accidents.
That, and because some of what he writes was always true, no matter how much I tried to deny it out of politeness. So you'll get gentle mischief, rather than a targeted assault.
TheIndyOpinion said:Once again, you make an assumption. And it is wrong. Constructive criticism would not make me like you less.
Of course, I think there's a line between constructive criticism and a "targeted attack." Attacks tend to be destructive, not constructive. Perhaps you can't make that distinction.
Stoo has offered constructive criticism on several occasions, which I've tried to use to improve my segment as well as the radio dramas. So have several others whose comments, though at times difficult to take, have been appreciated.
I don't speak for everyone on the show, but personally I welcome criticism that could help me improve the listening experience. I don't care for wanton snide remarks, or general mischief if you'd like to classify your comments that way. I don't see the point of it, it's not useful.
And don't confuse "fascinating" with "constructive." For example, I've found Charlie Sheen's recent behavior mildly fascinating, but there's nothing constructive about it.
Smiffy said:Whenever it begins to sound like an edition of Waynes World you could always listen at high speed. Used to work for me. You can just barely make out the words so you know if there's anything you want to stop and listen to.
Don't bother downloading very often now. The Raven's enough for me. Don't want to be overdoing it.
Smiffy said:Don't take it personally, I used to listen to most of the show in high speed.
Smiffy said:I remember Read Alongs. I was expecting Sharkey to come in with a reference to a junior section of the Indy Cast being like an episode of Muppet Babies!
Smiffy said:They would stoop that low?
They do have their careers to think of.
Smiffy said:As much fun could be had by listening to these Tossers [The Bee Gees]
Smiffy said:If you associate too closely with the Indy Cast it becomes necessary to change your alias once in awhile, otherwise leading a normal existence becomes fraught with danger. (Bricks through windows, sniggers and pointing in public, that sort of thing).
William Shakespeare said:If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon we will mend.
Else the Puck a liar call.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
DiscoLad said:Keep waiting, Rocket.
TheIndyOpinion said:Montana, if your comments are all meant to be playful and tongue-in-cheek, just poking fun, then I apologize for taking them as anything more.
TheIndyOpinion said:It just seemed that perhaps there was a pattern that indicated you really disliked the show. And if that was the case I'd rather hear specific reasons why.
TheIndyOpinion said:I guess it would be more accurate to say that you're just trying to stir the chum that we throw in the water, eh?
Montana Smith said:That was indeed the intention. If you follow my posts around the various foum sections you'll notice that mischief strikes when an opportunity poses itself. I thought when you responded you were picking up the brick and sweeping up, that you were on board.
Montana Smith said:There was only a playful theme developing.
Typically true, although it appears that Sharkey is now hunting 6-foot rabbits in another thread.Montana Smith said:Perfect analogy. If you want to spot a great white it pays to hang around in the places where it was last sighted. These waters are a favoured feeding ground.
