Totally qualifies. Heres another golden oldie, aimed at more than one of us actually:

"Sounds like TMBG."

"Not my thing"
"Could you be more specific than not my thing?"
"It's just not my thing. I don't like it"
"But that doesn't really help me. Why bother reviewing my song if that's all you had to say"
"Because if I hadn't written a review you would be bitching about that"
"Yeah? Well your song sucks!"

This one is more paraphrasing than direct quote, but I think it applies to >90% of the posts on the boards, e.g. the Internet TV thread:

"I know more than you do about this subject! Also, what you said is not 100% technically accurate!"

I'd up vote this, if possible. And if I'm quilty my only motivation is to learn more myself, which I am.

So, in conclusion, you're not 100% technically accurate!

I already know I [clipped, didn't use the right reverb, neglected to write lyrics, can't sing, can't play, am out of tune, you can't hear me, the shake-y egg is late in the chorus, am low in the mix, all you can hear is the neighbors at it upstairs, just generally suck] ...

... so I don't need to hear about it in the reviews, please. :)

"This is OK, but it's not as good as your obscure entry from three years ago."
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.
