it's not silly tho. it happens all the time, someone starts a discussion about a female [insert profession/art here] and almost immediately someone will comment on her looks. why can't we forget looks and just judge on talent or whatever? the sad thing is, it only seems to happen when discussing women?!!

fair enough. the original message in the thread, however pointed out that "Chantal is rather unattractive." as a point above a quite serious and applicable statement, therefore insinuating that her looks are far more important than her music. it's just, like, who cares what she looks like?
