Travis isnt going around making threads to have us all ask him questions about HT. I personally hate HT and dont buy from them, but Travis is also a good dude who works there. I put HT and Alt Press on the same level of shittiness, but at least Travis is a great guy who isnt looking for attention that he works there while Scott will drop this knowledge every few months. AND he calls out Allison for making a "look at me thread" and then does the same thing with this, after no one cared about the idea when he mentioned it in another thread. We get it Scott, you work for a crappy mag, get to write crappy reviews about crappy music and get a few perks out of the system. I used to work for T-Mobile and got free smartphones, free internet, free messages and 2000 minutes for 5 bucks a month, you dont see me making topics about how cool I am to get such awesome deals on that shit.

And Rolling Stone isnt trying to make a buck solely off the back of an underground community that for all intents and purposes does not like the status quo, does not care about making money, and follows a strong set of ideals that they hold true to their heart. So when a company or magazine comes out and claims to be the same as us, and then just exploits us for their profit I think we can talk some shit about them. Ive got no issue with Rolling Stone because they arent a wolf in sheeps clothing, they dont hide it at all while AP does.

Speaking of Fights: Casey challenged all comers to Words with Friends. I created an account and it's been well over 24 hours and his move. He's obviously scared of losing to a total newbie.

quoting this because it is fucking awesome and true.

Hahahahahahahaha wow. Jumping trends is fucking awesome.

Looking at things I'm annoyed that the majority of posts around here seem to be critical of the woman or at least critical of her decision making.
 
So I'll give my opinion on the topic with the information at hand. 
 
Looking at the steps she set forth for the accused to live up to;
 
A)  Apologize both publicly and via written acknowledgement of his actions.  If this happened she would get something that most victims don't get, acknowledgement of how he hurt her.  Along with that he would forever be know as the guy from that band that raped that woman.  He would be stigmatized for life.  In a community where is literally a "Rock Star" he would forever be marked as a predator.  He would no longer be able to use his limited fame to prey on women.  Not saying there are or would be more women but it would dramatically hinder his ability to do something like this.
 
B-  While this, from the outside, seems a bit silly it forces the accused to look at stories of how his actions have harmed the victim/s.  Realistically this step should involve the accused being forced to attend both group and individual counseling sessions.
 
C)  Quitting, or going on hiatus, from Gaza would be the only way to immediately deal with other 2 steps set forth.
 
 
We can look at this and say she should have done this, or that, or I would have done such and such, but, you know what?  We aren't in her shoes.  Period.  End of story.

Will Casey and I have to reunite to shit on AP again and again? I kinda miss my friendship with Casey and our mutual bonding over how shitty the company you work for is.
 
 
Serious question though, Why dont you guys pimp Fred Durst anymore?

Have you ever been through the criminal system for being raped? In my state, less than 2% of charges of rape brought to the police end in the case being brought to court. Well less than half of those end in the perp being convicted. Not to mention that the victim gets dragged through the mud, everyone questions every decision in her life she ever made, and god forbid she has ever had sex before, because that alone will make her a slut in the public eye. She will have to relive it numerous times in court, to lawyers, have it picked apart by the defense attorney. She will have to spend close to two years in the legal system with absolutely no help at all on how to fill out the paperwork correctly, unless she hires a lawyer. If she is selling zines at shows, something tells me she probably isnt rolling in the money to afford a lawyer that can help her on this.
 
So she stopped and wanted her coat back. People make odd decisions when going through a traumatic event. Perhaps she wanted to make things seem as normal as possible to try and survive the event and not end up with her head kicked in. Dont even pretend to know what it is like to be a rape survivor unless you are one, and even then you cant fault any of their decision making.

Also, food for thought. The number of false rape allegations is well below the national average of false allegations for every other crime. It is actually the lowest percentage of false reports of any crime in America.

Just because she slept in the bed doesnt mean shit. That isnt an invitation to rape anyone. It means "Im tired and want to go to sleep comfortably as possible." I have slept in the same bed with many female and male friends. Some I had feelings for, some I didnt. None of those situations ended in rape or sex. I dont care if she was naked fingering herself in the bed, that doesnt give this guy any right to have sex with her if she said no/is asleep/has stated before that she didnt want to.

Sharing a bed is not an invitation to rape. I've shared beds with friends, male and female, with no desire for sex. Yes, he made passes at her but I've been there myself on the other side. I hate the social media element of this but let's see if she went to the police or not. Apparently from a previous post she only told just told her Mom. 

Instead you just said how all the bands you didnt like was "gay".

I wanna fight everyone that makes a thread of "Im back". No one gives a shit you are back from your two week hiatus, just fucking post in a thread like everyone else. Are you that much of an attention whore that you need to announce when you come and go and have people acknowledge it? For fucks sake!

I guess I'm the only one here who struggles to find enough meaningful posts to Like. I don't like to cheapen the privilege by just throwing Likes around. It is a responsibility, a duty. 

While we are getting our bitching out, no one really cares if you make a post that has a common denominator of 100 or 1000 or 10,000 (eventually this will be common). This will be my 3,011 post, which gives me the same number of posts as Rafael Palmero had hits. Should I make a thread commemorating?
 
Another one that is getting a little old is taking a thread, switching a letter, and thinking it is clever. Example:
 
Guys, I'm back
Guys, I'm black
Guys, I'm brak

Change your username to Postradamus and tell me the number of posts you'll have when you quit the boards. Then I'll be impressed.
