Bonfire (album)
Bonfire is a 5 disc box set by Australian band AC/DC, released in 1997, and remastered with a release in Digipak format in 2003. It was created as a tribute to the band's earlier singer Bon Scott and included the two disc soundtrack to the movie Let There Be Rock, some early unreleased tracks, a live recording from the Atlantic Records studio in New York and a remastered version of Back in Black.

@BenjaminGruenbaum, one good answer, or five mediocre ones.

I've considered spinning up a sock puppet secondary account, just to explain the downvotes I issue from my primary. To avoid the fun revenge downvotes immediately after.

You can have any opinion you like, @FinalContest. If you're the only person that has it, it's not worth a whole bunch.

Sure, culture is relative, no one can make judgements about anybody else, yadda yadda. YCS is rude. To say otherwise, after seeing the corpus, is ludicrous.

Again, it's not tone, @FinalContest. If someone jumps up in my face in a bar, pounds on my chest, and tells me my shoe is untied, should I be appreciative?

Yes.

It's more than a "bad tone". When people say "bad tone", they're being polite. He's ranting so much, he rains spittle on the front row.

Hyperacusis
Hyperacusis (also spelled hyperacousis) is a health condition characterized by an over-sensitivity to certain frequency and volume ranges of sound (a collapsed tolerance to usual environmental sound). A person with severe hyperacusis has difficulty tolerating everyday sounds, some of which may seem unpleasantly or painfully loud to that person but not to others. It can be acquired as a result of damage sustained to the hearing apparatus, or inner ear. There is speculation that the efferent portion of the auditory nerve (olivocochlear bundle) has been affected (efferent meaning fibers that...

At one point, a mod suggested that I immediately delete those custom "This question is off-topic because" comments. I have, and I've been much happier.

I don't even see the message on suggested edit audits.
It's so obvious when you're getting one.
