I'm assuming Brian meant to type the word "only" before "using the words
'rock', 'blow', 'sucks',...".

I may be more tolerant of "Yo, check my Mp3z out, bitches" type posts than
Brian is... and I don't think anyone minds list members who regularly
contribute to discussion and occasionally post a link to their music for
list members to check out. However, I do have a problem with people who
use the list purely for publicizing their own creations and who are bit
abrasive about it. It's been a while since I remembered being so
bothered by one poster, though. I'm guessing that's what Brian is aiming
at..(I stress "guessing")
