Forum the bell tolls
A diary is supposed to be a place where people vent their shit and get stuff off their chest in private.
I suppose with the advent of the Internet, blogs and dance music forums people are airing their grievances in public but behind the safety of witty, half-numerical pseudonyms that make them sound like the ingredients in Chinese baby formula. It’s all very safe, isn’t it?
I admit I take most of my heat on the Internet. Live gigs, interviews and meet ‘n’ greets are all very civilised. Everyone’s full of praise to my face, stating the obvious, telling me I rocked the place but the following day on some shitty little forum, Deckman83 is telling Madbuzz808 that I’m not really DJing anymore as I’m using Tracktor now.
I’m all for forums, they’re a great way for people to come together and chat about the next time I’m coming to their small town, but it’s not about that anymore. Forums have become as predictable as crack parents dropping their babies out of windows. That’s how it goes, there are three types of people on forums, anyone else has just been held up en route to the porn or poker.
First there’s your average Joe, popping on to keep in touch with the scene, check out the events and give their views on some topics.
Then you have the more involved forum user, the ones with the post count around about a thousand and something. They’d happily get fired for using that forum at work. Especially when in another few hundred posts they’ll be accepted by the clique.
Then you got the rest: the Internet pariah, you know the ones, rarely start a topic but usually the first to slate someone when they step out of line or say something a little leftfield. I’ve even heard of dudes who sign in under multiple names or who sign in as women to get some more attention. In the real world they’re the type of people who pull the wings off flies and kick dogs when they’re sleeping.
Some people who hear my music or read my words may feel a little unimportant and insignificant, but an equal amount feel overwhelmed and touched. The latter tend to listen, appreciate and move on. The former however just keep tap-tap-tapping away on their little keyboards… never mind boys I heard the real world’s overrated anyway.

Yo Sister Sheeba
If it's poetry you're after, check this mother out.
Ode to a DJ
You beatmatch like a dream
And MC in between
You set the floor on fire
With a sound that never tires
I pray for Saturday to come
And you never seem to mind
That I bug you with requests
Like a spoilt little child
One day when it's all over
And we’re too old to stand
I’ll sit down and knit you a pullover
That says I’m your no.1 fan.
You can see her point in fairness - poor girl got serious abuse from a lot of members in this board - keyboard warriors i'll take from romo.. Personally I think she is still owed an apology, which I doubt will be forthcoming - maybe i'm just getting sensitive in my old age... but besides that, dick V is something that should be stopped now, as it will only lead to credability issues for the person who is writing it...
I think "keyboard warriors" was beary in fairness!
People don't lick enough toads these days.
lolololololol sterling work by sister sheeba there

I don´t get this. First whoever this retard is who writes this shite tried to be funny and failed miserably. Now he is just waffling on about mindless bullshit. I don´t understand the point of it. Can someone explain why this shit keeps appearing considering it´s pretty much agreed that its aload of bollix? It makes a joke of the website, can you imagine going on to any other music website and having to suffer this crap. I know I don´t have to read it but it makes me laugh at how pathetic the writer is...
I think I may shoot this person in the face if I meet them in 'the real world'.
looks like this response is aimed at the responses the last hilarious insight garnered.
and yet again is shite. agree with yogy, dont be sending things downhill with this drivel.
agree with yogy (to an extent), stick to the music instead of trying to put people off the forum! the forum used to be the heart of the whole machine where people could meet mid week and have a bit of banter about music and life!
What Karen said...
I think yogy's a bollix!!
True as that may be, it doesn't invalidate what he's saying.
Everybody's a tough guy in the poetry thread.
yeah seriously....stop this lame "diversification" into comedy...it's woeful. it's so bad that sister sheeba took it as non ironic and her post reads like a comic character of more depth than "dick lobavillas".
The only good thing about this column is reading people eviscerating each edition and realising I share their opinion...
This is all to much. I don't know who the fuck I am anymore,...anybody know a good blog?
I need to find my soul.
I'm joking, i'm mates with him
I think PMC just wants to get into Sheebas knickers, and also stefanospudpeeler82 or whatever hes called is a bollix, but thats just life....
I'm dying to know who the writer is!!
If she's hot, and I was single why not... and yogy is a mysterious man, well not really, just has a good sense of humour..

"I know this!!!" said the eager little child frantically waving it's hand around, so that the teacher might ask them the answer. I've had ANY internet account that I've ever owned - including my email, hacked (well before I ever posted on here), so I just basically said anything that I'd ever said - and more, again, then I said it again, and then I said it more. I know that I can never have a private conversation with anyone on the internet.
I've met the scum of the Earth on the internet, but half of my problem is that I react to everthing artistically, and the other half is that I'm just an asshole when I want to be, but I know it - unlike so many people!!! I've had people start such ridiculous bullshit about me, so I just told them my life story with extra frills out of pure contempt for what they were doing, as I had no other way of defending myself, or else I went into my imagination and ripped the piss out of people, which isn't very constructive either, but when you're working eight hours a day, in front of a computer, what else do you do?
I really couldn't give a fuck about internet forums (and I've seen worse than this), and I think that people who come to them looking for mates, or approval, or whatever, are a bit stupid in fairness. I've seen plenty of people back-slap each other here in there united hatred of me, or whatver untied hatred they are claming that day, only to turn around and cut the back of each other when I've met you face to face, "Oooooohhhhh fakey fakey!" ;) I don't want to make thoese kind of, "friend's".
The problem with people on the internet, is that they've no face. This place has turned into a silage pit, full of people on the mid week come-down, or whatever, and indifferent moderaters that left get to that state. It's not a music forum of any discription.
If you've got any ounce of talent, or if you are good at anything, or if you are a friendly, open person that likes talking to other people, then I advise you to stay away well away from places like these, because you'd be fucking lucky if you'd an ounce of self confidence left after visiting a place like this... Not surprising how so many of you are drug addicts really. What with all that dance music, and player hating and all that kind of thing...
Write poetry people!!!
