Ever watch a comedy with a group of people, and everyone was having a great time except one person? That one guy that doesn't laugh, criticizes everything, points out every plothole, and is a general pain in the butt? If you have, you probably know what I'm trying to say with this post...
Hosting a DJ event is no easy task. A playlist must be handcrafted to suit a wide variety of tastes, without deviating too greatly from a location's "accepted" musical style; it's really a matter of pleasing all of the people, some of the time. Not everyone can be happy with every selection, especially in sims that feature a wide variety of musical tastes. Still, a good time can be had by all if people are willing to maintain a positive atmosphere.
Atmosphere is everything, and no matter how politely stated a criticism may be, in the long run it does far more harm than good. Think about it, imagine you're a listener enjoying a particular song, when along comes Joe Schmoe saying "AGH! NOT THAT SONG!" You'll probably feel a little upset, and if you're the DJ, you'd wish they could have just kept it to themselves.
I would never single people out; I'm directing this thread (or plea, rather) to anyone and everyone. Bad vibes can easily ruin a good time, and in a place like SL (where few are getting rich and most are just doing it for the love), a good time is a special thing. So please, if you feel the need to crticise, either keep it to yourself or just leave the show. Yes, as harsh as it sounds, I'd rather people just TP'ed out rather than ruining the experience for everyone else.
End of rant...and hey, it's Monday, I'm allowed.
