Are you actually going to lock this thread or what?

Actually don't lock it yet, I've got an idea on how we can prevent this sort of argument happening again.
We need rules on expression of opinion. Because this is where this thread went wrong.
Facs didn't give any reasons for his opinion, he just posted the equivolent of "I don't like it". Which is actually quite a self important attitude to take, assuming in itself that other people will care enough about his unsupported opinion to really even care about it. It's not that it's bad, it's more to do with how that kind of post adds no content, and doesn't make for a very interesting debate.
Just imagine a carefree hippy-dippy world where self expression runs unchecked. We'd have whole threads full of 3 to 4 word comments like "I don't like it", "that was great" and "not my thing".
Well, actually, even saying "I don't like it" would've been more acceptable than "Eww, dance music". Is that sort of opinion really wanted? Or more to the point, is it acceptable to word your opinions in such a way? I'm sure that people don't really care much for someone blurting out their personal preferences. Equally as much as I'm sure that people would rather see a well worded non-offensive explaination as to why they dislike dance music.
Just a thought.
