Damn. Sho' is a lot of acrimony in here. My take on it is this: It's a musical discussion forum. People get their knickers in a twist all the time when someone slags off their favorite musical acts. I occasionally do as well. Then I call them a "douchebag" or a "cunt" and feel a little better.
Lighten up, everyone. Sticks and stones.....It's the friggin' interwebnetz, FFS.
You are always gong to run across people you clash with, just like real life - go figure! And, you can take the "high road" and ignore it; or, you can just tell them to "STFU" and not get so worked up about it. Really, is everyone [i]that[/i] thin-skinned? I'm not saying I haven't ever gotten angry and lashed out at someone on here when they have been a dickhole to me, but if you make decent posts and don't persistently and creepily keep posting the same psychotic, obsessive threads day after day (year after year), you aren't likely to be called out as a lunatic and incur the wrath of others. Seriously, I can leave this board for months at a time and return and there is Toyah, still waxing on all creepily about.....Toyah. Sorry, but it's just far too tempting [i]not[/i] to reply. Yeah, if I were a more mature person, I wouldn't. But, I have faults. BooHoo.
Don't take shit too personally. Don't get all worked up (or, try not to) over a post on a damn messageboard. Some of you said you were so bothered or annoyed or offended that you left . . . and look at Toyah. She rolls with it. She keeps maniacally typing away despite the leather hand restraints, the 30cc's of Seroquel and against her therapist's orders, God love 'er. She gives back as good as she gets, which is my point.
Lighten up, ya cunts.
