You should report them. Those are not the kinds of things anyone should be saying about people on here.

You should go back to the OP and report them now. I'd like to see who said those things. Link to the thread. If not, then I think you might be exaggerating. and those are some extreme exaggerations.

David Crosby Still Thinks Kanye West Is 'A Poser' Who 'Can't Write, Sing Or Play' [View all] edhopper Jun 2015 OP

Big, Big fan of the Byrds and CSN. But Crosby never knew when to keep his mouth shut. Hoyt Jun 2015 #1

You don't think edhopper Jun 2015 #4

I think "talent" is a bit hard to define. Of course, Crosby has a right to say whatever he wants. Hoyt Jun 2015 #5

You have every right to disagree edhopper Jun 2015 #6

Perhaps you should follow your own advice. Just sayin' Hiraeth Jun 2015 #227

Music consists of melody, harmony and rhythm. hifiguy Jun 2015 #14

A music professor once told me that music was BillZBubb Jun 2015 #61

Exactly. I happen to like folk, bluegrass, etc. But rap, hip hop, etc., are definitely music. Hoyt Jun 2015 #132

Just my opinion. hifiguy Jun 2015 #168

I didn't say he was racist, but DU is racist towards Kanye. bravenak Jun 2015 #83

LOL, horseshit. WorseBeforeBetter Jun 2015 #84

Yeah, cause you have a lock on talent and knowledge of black music. Kanye is very talented. bravenak Jun 2015 #85

I find talent in *black* groups like the Carolina Chocolate Drops... just one example. WorseBeforeBetter Jun 2015 #88

Umm humm, yes, it is certainly up to you to decide what Black Music is good or acceptable. bravenak Jun 2015 #89

And you are... the arbiter of what blacks find good or acceptable in music? WorseBeforeBetter Jun 2015 #120
