What? Let's step back, do you know what paraphrasing means?
I'll assume no, because if you did you'd not ask that.
Why bother with it if I'm gonna change it and make it relevent to me? Because the whole point was making it relevent to me by paraphrasing it. What's wrong with you?

A) Emotive hardcore, not emotional hardcore.
B) Original and only incarnation. There are a couple bands around still making that kind of music, and I doubt you know them.

ermm...dude... no pun intended but I just pasted the information, and wikipedia seems very reliable to me, I don't know about you and I frankly don't care, I just tried to help by giving you ONE definiton of emo (slang) and of emo the music
And no I don't know those bands because I'm really not into emo that much and I don't care about them either 😉

Absolutely nothing, i dont see the point in you take a quote (that used to be funny) and that has really nothing to do with your argument, ammend it, suck the humor out of it, and serve it up again.
Then you simply don't see the point. This doesn't translate to: There isn't one.
Left foot, right foot, read before you talk. This is how you do the logic walk.

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln; "For score and seven years ago, what alpha quoted was pointless"
It wasn't. Butters was saying that one kind of whiner is better than another kind, and I was proving that the mythical "emos" you speak of would be much better to live with than the oppressive, bullying kind such as yourself.
THIS time I catered to you and laid it out, next time I won't, so you better learn that walk.

yeah, i'm often seen pushing my opinions down peoples throats and acting like my opinion is;
FACT.
Just because i dont agree with you and think that something you paraphrased (which is nothing more than inventing your own quote at this point) is pointless, you treat me like a child and play english teacher. I believe that makes you a bully too. Once again, we better hold hands when we jump off that building hey buddy.

It doesn't work like that.
You got my post wrong and tried to be a smart ass, I corrected you. You still didn't get it, so I corrected you again.
It was a very, very simple post and you didn't get it. I was hardly going to treat you like an intellectual juggernaut. You messed up, don't try pinning your pie-faced attempts on me.

Pffft, there a difference between not understanding and not agreeing. Just because i dont agree with you dosn't make me an idiot, as you not agreeing with me dosn't make you an idiot.
You can "correct" me a dozen times, it dosn't mean i'm going to agree with your statement.
There's no room for disagreement. I paraphrased a quote and you called it pointless because you didn't see the point. That doesn't mean there wasn't one. There was one, and whether you like that or not, it means it wasn't pointLESS.
Just move on.

I don't like labels at all.. and i don't try to fit into them, nor like to label others. There is so much more to a person then one single way of being. Everybody is emotional. Maybe people who criticise others for being "emotional" don't like to see the emotional side in themselves. People also label others because of their own prejudices.
I get sick of all these games, labels, and acts.. I wish we could see each other as our "whole" selves rather then labeling, and putting ourselves and others into stereotypes. The media has a huge influence on all these different trends and looks as well. I say, don't let the media, or anybody else tell you who to be and how to "classify" others.
