Thanks man.

The problem is his overwhelming urge to be right all the time, which narrows his capacity for subtlety, nuance and understanding that people can hold a view capable of operating at different levels. For example, missing the “beyond” part of Beyond Berghain that clearly signalled the main point of the branding was – beyond – the realms of Berghain. That was lost on him though and he got carried away with the idea of whether it was authentic enough.

Honestly, I just feel like I shouldn’t have posted the mix for all of the bollocks it has caused over the the most petty inconsequential pathetic objection raised by someone like Hugo. It feels pretty bad after having a great evening when it was broadcast with an awesome bunch of people who just love music, only to be tainted by this shite as the aftermath of it. I will definitely think twice before posting when people like him suck the life out of everything and brings everything down to his level of tedium.

I definitely wouldn’t have pegged this thread as the one with the person who has had the biggest REG of the year, but this has surely made a late surge to be a contender. He is tone deaf to all of the signals that people on the board have given him about his pedantic, self righteous tedious shite, but he still doesn’t get it because of his pathological need to be right 100% of the time is in the driving seat.

      Drive on, Dan. Hugo is but a splat on the windscreen. 99.9% of people in this thread appreciate the effort.

        whatever Don’t let him dissuade you from sharing mixes or colouring how you feel about this one. It’s pretty clear that he’s the problem.

        I know what it’s like to put yourself out there by sharing something (you can be proud of something you’ve done and still be insecure about how others receive it) and that’s why there’s no place for his response. People like him go through life contributing nothing and never leave things better than they found them.

          And still you don’t get it. I couldn’t give a fuck what your criticism was. You raised an an absurd, misconceived objection to something that was completely irrelevant and that you completely misunderstood. It was a non-issue to me and everyone else – but you jumped up and down like a toddler to make a point that didn’t need to be made such that only you seemed to know what you were blathering about. Now, bizarrely, your claim is that the problem is that the other person can’t take the criticism of your irrelevant point.

          Imagine, if you will, walking down the street past some nutcase who is known for shouting at traffic, but you have to walk past them anyway because that is the only way to get to your destination. They shout something incoherent and nonsensical at you, you groan because they are known for saying crazy shit, but you ignore it and keep going. It is too late by that point however because already they’re jumping up and down frothing at the mouth and ranting about your indifference to the bollocks they spouted that you had no interest in from the start because ultimately you knew full well that it was just the crazy ramblings of someone who didn’t know what they were going on about.

            hugopal You have a tendency to get on people’s nerves. Clearly no one here agrees with your original argument, yet you persisted in derailing the thread.

            Do you have the self awareness to understand why your behaviour might annoy people?

              You accusing me of lacking subtlety and nuance, and being incapable of holding a view operating at different levels, is probably the funniest thing I’ve read all day.

              But if you want yet more subtlety and nuance then fine: I clearly have not missed the “beyond” part of the title - typically for something to go “beyond” something else you have to pass by or through whatever it is you are going beyond. That is impossible if you’ve never even been near the thing in your life. In a more metaphorical sense, logically for a person to be able to go “beyond” something requires them having some knowledge of what it is they are indeed going beyond.

              You can also consider that by the people choosing the branding claiming that they are going “Beyond Berghain” that the connotations of “beyond” also suggests that they are somehow either building upon it, or even surpassing it. Both possibilities are also clearly absurd and likely arrogant given the nature of what they are actually doing and the people involved.

              As for “understanding that people can hold a view capable of operating at different levels” - this seems to have been lacking in you regarding my original comment, if you go back and re-read it. Had the mix simply been called something like ’whatever’s November tech-house mix’ or ’whatever’s 60 minutes of music which doesn’t really have anything to do with a club I have no knowledge of’ then that would have been fine and it wouldn’t have raised an objection. Then I might have listened and only commented on the music, and made a comment along the lines of the other “layer” of my post, which was that the mix is “not bad”.

              Again, as I said earlier if you really think it was so “inconsequential” then you could have just briefly considered it and then shrugged it off with a “whatever”, but instead you’ve let it get to you to a needless degree.
