Oh, I'm about to rant. It will be my last for awhile so I don't give a fuck if you read it or not.
Today I read the posts by Mark D and Grim and realised that they are intending to fuck off from WF because they are tired of the stupid posts and retarded arguments, and I can't say I blame them. Daz used to keep this shit in check but he is too busy to moderate WF as often as he used to and it is sliding into shit. You all must have seen it happening. That link someone posted to a thread from 2006 showed me just how many good people have left and never returned, and why is that? The ladies are almost gone now, there used to be piles of them but they can't be bothered with the shit and have gone away.
Too many fuckwits are creating accounts just to cause shit and contribute nothing, they are ruining the site. I mean, look at the shit we have had to stomach just in the last few months! I'm as guilty of biting back, but if I ignore them they claim victory and I hate to back down. So what, ignore them as they ruin the site we have loved for a decade? There is no winning this fight. I hate reading badly written posts with no topic, no sense, so punctuation and no fucking point at all, but it seems that every tool with only the shittiest grip on the English Language can just wander in and mouth off whenever he wants.
I hate the way that it has become "cool" for this gaggle of young Black Metal kids to come in here are bag any band that is not "
True" and nobody stands up and tells them to fuck off, or even just has the backs of the other bands. WF has been a port we all can meet up at no matter what kind of metal we listen to, but the coherance is breaking down and these troll shitheads are generating much the negative vibe.
I hate the fact that only yesterday another WFer messaged me to say he was threatened by yet another troll hiding behind a false name. This sort of shit is so commonplace now that you all just ignore it, but it isn't right. I will stand toe to toe with anyone if I have to, but this internet shit is just gutless. Threatening people and their families and acting this way online is fucked, and defending this behaviour by explaining it away as being "BlackMetal" is just pathetic. It needs to be clamped down on before other WF members start buying guns and sorting this shit out on the streets.
The reason I wanted to do reviews is so I am at least contributing to this site instead of just using it as a place to get annoyed. Reviewing old material was intended to create a link between the different genres and an interest in the older bands of the Perth scene, and to give some of the oldschool WFers a reason to come back and hang around again. But it has been a failure in that even THAT topic has arguments in it, and the old guard come back to see nothing but retarded posts, shitty trolls and bitchfights that never end because the Trolls won't let them. Why would they stay?
I can't be fucked with all the work involved in doing reviews when all I am doing is entertaining the endless conga line of fucktards that have infested this site over the last year. I wonder how people like Rowland cope with the amount of work he does for the tiny amount of return and respect given him, fuck it all.
I'm checking out for a couple of months. Someone let me know when it is worth coming back.
