Nah, I'm still a pedantic dickhole who lives on the verge of colon-stomping rage. I just don't like seeing people flamed for bullshit reasons just 'cause they're new, if it's not over something anyone would bother bitching out a regular for.

EDIT: Also find Graus' talk about how "we" roll a little rich, considering she's pretty much a newbie herself.

Apathy's_Child, you are being contrary purely for the sake of contrariness. There's really no point to you posting in this thread getting all self-righteous.

He's not being self-righteous, he's teaching you a basic lesson in humanity. You can't really say that's contrary for its own sake when compared with you whaling on a guy just for asking to listen to his band. You're an adult, you're married, you have a job. Start acting your age.

Funny that you should say that because you two taking up for an obvious music spammer shows lack of both experience and intelligence. IF the person had bothered to take part in any other area of the forum besides this little thread I would have happily left them alone.

The experience of knowing when someone is a spammer who joins a forum using their band's name and only makes threads about that band without participating in the rest of the forum or even trying to be a regular member.

If you think you two are going to somehow "shame" me into feeling bad for flaming a spammer you're wrong.

Are you for serious? I used to write for a music mag, I'm used to shameless self-promotion. I just don't care, what's the problem with coming to a forum dedicated to the genre you work in, which is rare with goth rock, and asking people to listen? I'm not trying to shame you cause you're not a little kid or something, I'm just saying, this thread is embarrassing.

Yes, it is. It should never have been started in the first place. At least we can agree on something.

I really don't need lectures on self-righteousness from Miss I Feel Disrepected By the Fact You Don't Abide By A Bunch of Obsolete Rules the Community No Longer Functions On, thanks.

You've been here five fucking minutes and clearly taken no time yourself to learn how this place works before you roll around declaring what's what. FYI, we had a guy a while back who did the same thing - vxcheerleader, or something. He joined purely to shill his band, which he did in the music section, just like this guy. A lot of us enjoyed his music, he started joining the musical discussions, and plenty of us wound up liking the guy, even if he wasn't a regular as such. Who the fuck are you to decide that's not how "we" do here?

I don't give a fuck how you think this place 'works'. And yes, you obviously do need lecturing. But like a sulky child you're going to fight against it, right?

Well, there was another person who did like events. Chris Morey, I think. Anyways, he was shilling off his books. The fact that he was solely using the site as free ad service annoyed some of us. Granted, he got a bit more involved after Desp attacked him, but nothing would have changed if Desp didn't do so to begin with.

VXcheerleader was actually pretty cool, I didn't know he started with shilling his stuff though.

No, sweetheart - you're just repeating what I said to you, but less articulately and without explaining your reasons. Try harder. There's a good girl. That's right - no, don't panic. That noise in your head is called a 'thought'. Just ride it out - it won't hurt you, I promise.

And yet.....I recall seeing no one calling out Despanan(or anyone else in that thread) for flaming that Morey guy. Hypocritical much?


No, no, I believe that A_C has some hard-on to attempt to 'flame' me or something. He's failing....badly...should be used to it by now.

I thought the Chris Morey shit was ridiculous too. I guess that's why I don't come here too often any more, I'm past this permanently confrontational mentality, though I guess it's my fault as much as anyone's that this place is like that.

I'm not the one who came onto this thread holding his tiny dick and attempting to piss on people with it. You're failing miserably to have any kind of coherent argument. You just don't like that I'm not swayed by your douchebaggery.

Yes, you're right. I'm totally fazed by the incredible inner strength you've displayed in posting snippy variants of "NO U!!!" in reply. I thought I would break you with my posts, see you broken and weeping and grovelling before me, yet the variants just keep coming. You... you must be the Chosen One, destined to vanquish me. I knew this day would come.

.... God, you're a tool.

M.O.C. - far as I remember, the Chris Morey shit was more about the fact that Gnet was allowing them to us the Lit forum as an ad dump, while banning other members and deleting other threads (like moving the Porno thread from Lit to Whining for no apparent reason). Not to mention, Desp starting out critiquing the cover art and telling the advertiser "The product you are trying to sell me looks like shit", rather than, "This is MAH COMMUNITEH and I feel disrespected by your lack of interest in us as human beings!!" Also, you may have noticed that when Morey began to interact rather than just dumping links, Desp was receptive and open to discussions with him.

Yes, yes, correct on all accounts. Well played A_C, but did you notice, your drink was POISON!? No, I don't believe you have. Unfortunately, I am the only one with the antidote...and I don't feel like sharing. MUAHAHAhaha.

I really don't see much point in this conversation continuing as is. It seems to me that both sides here came into the discussion with good intentions.

All this has done is conjured metaphorical images in my mind of each of you sweeping up dirt and pointing out the dirt that the other has left on the floor, neglecting to notice the fact that you are inside a sod house! You should put away the pride you have in the sod house you've built and build a new one out of wood.

I'll let you sort out the meaning of that for yourselves, but in the meantime..

Intentions be damned or not you should not both address each other like any one of you is the scum of the earth, because in the end all you end up with is more time wasted and less time to spare.

I would probobly have put this more eloquently, but I should note its 5 in the morning and I've been up all night.

Whenever I see someone belittle another, I tend to see it as an effort by the attacker to make themselves feel better about themselves. Therefore this behavior can often have its roots in insecurity. Goth culture tends to see the world outside of it as lacking any substance for all the insidious behavior which represents the nihilistic decent into the chaostrophy at hand. As such, it would seem natural to loathe the many depraved manifestations of the world not representative of a culture which often rejects that which does not see life's purpose as futile and headed towards ultimate failure. I would say it is a deep rooted pain that drives intense anger and disgust. Being aware of what drives one's emotional adversity can assist in viewing the personality from outside of itself, thus gaining perspective on our personality having our brief human experience.

Thanks for sharing these numerous disgruntled perspectives.

You're overanalysing it. Goths are normally fat and had no friends at school so they are bitter and confrontational. Pretty much all there is to it.
