Probably, we are deviating too much from the thread's title. I shall stop with this.
I posted my views based on raja_fan's earlier posting -
"I do not know why this forum has become such intolerant to different views"
To really simplify with an example - people who like 'ennada paandi' should be tolerant to people who don't like it.
I don't like 'ennadA pANdi' (possibly mentioned earlier when vAlmeeki was discussed as well). And there were others who had similar opinion too.
Not just this song, there are any number of recent IR numbers that are tossed off as unworthy by me and others (quick e.g. 'azhagi varA sORu tharA').
Never did I feel that there was any personal attack on me for that :-) This is perhaps one of the very few places where you can throw stones and get away with it :-)
இதைப்போயி "intolerant" அப்பிடி இப்பிடின்னு :?
dochu,
I think there is a definite difference between opposing views and intolerance. You can say you hate 'ennada pandi' hundred times and I can reply back saying that I love 'ennda pandi' every time :) That is just an opposing view. If you or I ask the other to shut up, then it is an intolerant view. You can rest assured that not only 'ennada pandi' but lot of other songs have come under attack here and all those views have been peacefully resolved, i.e. to each his / her own :)
You guys have expressed very well re: ennada pandi. I dont think this forum has turned 'intolerant'. All you guys are pretty knowledgeable and I find it very educational being here. I think some people cant digest the fact there are a few people even in these 'modern' days to appreciate IR's 'ethnic' songs. They would rather have him banished to history as a 'has been' villager who got lucky before the country opened up to 'quality music'.
(BTW, suddenly our own music and food have become 'ethnic' in our own country, I think everybody has turned 'white' overnight !!)
Probably the above can be an example of being 'intolerant'. Poor choice of words!. I would rate it as borderline indecency. Probably that is what other poster felt as well!.Quote:

As said previously, whatever novelty a song from IR possess, if it is not pleasing, sorry, it has to be rated poor. And that's what the TN mass would do, especially for 'ennada paandi' song.
Dochu, since you seem to be convinced that you are being unfairly abuses, I am mulling whether I should actually indulge myself in personal abuse - because anyway you have decided and concluded, so why should we get that bad name without actually indulging in it? Might as well commit the crime, which you have convicted us for. Stay tuned...and hope I change my mind.
I think IR should engage you as consultant to review songs as you seem to know what song the mass would like or not !!!Quote:

As much as you views are respected here, it is also very much becoming obvious as a "kazhuthaikku theriyaatha karpoora vaasanai" when it comes to your type of guys who have agendas other than just reviewing music.
The way you have reacted shows my points have failed to drive home any sense to you at all. If you read carefully i said,"i will rather stay shut". I didnt ask you to shut. Teaching you to appreciate good music is none of my business. You can continue with your bragging about songs that dont appeal to your "intelligence". But i would continue to believe--as SPB said--IR music'la waste paatunnu onnu kidaiyavae kidayadhu..yedhavadhu vishayam vachirupaaru..Quote:
