are you saying the Mary-Anne doesnt dedicate (im sure that was the word you were after) herself to music - she is more dedictated than 99% of people who consider themselves part of the "scene"

i hate to be soft, but this is a sad state of affairs

its a real shame when awards bring out negativity like this, they should be about celebration not beefing

i personally think radio is about more than mixing, broadcasting entails casting broadly, on which point no-one can test Ms Hobbes, nor for boundless enthusiasm and positivity (apologies if its rude, i never know whether its appropriate to address people directly or in the 3rd person!)

criticism is fine, but theres a fine line between that and cussing / disrespecting innit

sorry to get involved.....but....

'But yeh like i said i'm the cliche dubstep hater, right?. least people like me give all the we're-one-giant-family crew something to get outraged about. In case you're not clear about this, blogs are personal mouthpieces. We're not on the dubstep forum now.'

gotta disagree with you there alex

the catagory is "best radio show", rather than best DJ

the amount mary anne has done is amazing, as well as the balls to dedicate an entire 2 hour show to one extremely underground genre of music!

if there are any other mary anne haters out there i doubt they'll be letting us know about it

out to ramadanman and elgato for debating the point rather than just getting aggro; lord knows we all do it though - poax mate, you taught me after that dubstep vs grime thread to take a step back and chill - it's just the internet, it's just words. your turn now?

alex bk-bk · Post by **alex bk-bk** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 2:45 pm

sorry i guess i was out of line with the "having a laugh" bit
just a shame too not see an actual dubstep dj win this category as far as im concerend,
but n-type is winning now anyways

obviously strong opionions upset people on here if they're not in chime with the rest of the community

Antagonist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

For other senses of this word, see antagonist (disambiguation).

An antagonist is a character or group of characters, or, sometimes an institution of a story who represents the opposition against which the heroes and/or protagonists must contend. In the classic style of story wherein the action consists of a hero fighting a villain, the two can be regarded as protagonist and antagonist, respectively. However, authors have often created more complex situations. In some instances, the story is told from the villain's point of view; in such a story, the hero is regarded as the chief antagonist of the story. An example of this is the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.

More often, stories simply do not have characters that are readily identifiable as most heroic or villainous. Instead, the antagonist becomes that character, group, or sometimes force which provides the chief obstruction to the protagonist or "main character" of the story. Note that the antagonist is not necessarily human; often, the forces of nature or psychological elements provide this element of opposition.

The protagonist-antagonist relationship is also sometimes ambiguous. For instance, in the story of Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, the antagonist may be regarded as the whale "Moby Dick" of the title, against which the story's leading character Captain Ahab strives. Yet Captain Ahab is not actually the protagonist of the story[citation needed], as it is told from the point of view of the narrator Ishmael. Indeed, it is also valid to look at Captain Ahab as the antagonist, with his fanaticism the force with which protagonist Ishmael must cope.

Antagonist = "the bad guy"

only if they question the dedication of someone who is well liked and has helped to get the scene to where it is today

Nah mate it's not that - i've seen what's happened previously with like dan saying how he didnt like coki's marijuana refix and he got shouted down, and that annoyed me as well

i know! i actually said i loved the tune - for a good long while - but i'd eventually got bored of it by hearing it rinsed (and rewound) so many times. apparently that was a fatal attack on the heart of dubstep and everything it stood for lol.

hold tight the siege mentality crew.

Its so much about the phrasing, tone and place. I thought the stuff on that tropical blog was absolutely fine, it was opinion, it didn’t read (to me) as aggressive or needlessly antagonistic. But something like this is so different to me. The place… a thread which should be about celebrating. The tone and phrasing… antagonistic and slightly insulting. And the main thing is, for Mary Anne Hobbes, how would it feel to read that? Pretty dry I would imagine, like in one fell swoop so much positivity that she’s brought has been undermined by something really a bit minor (especially given the category).

In general, I rate having voices of dissent, but for me those voices should be respectful and constructive…

You seem to have a jaded attitude towards autistic men wanking into a bowl. When did the excitement die for you?
