I dunno. I think maybe I feel like the only way I can get a reaction from the board these days is to smash it round the head. Maybe it's an attention thing. It's almost certainly an attention thing.

It's excellent to read though. I may be saying that because you've not yet had a go at me.

I know, but you haven't bothered to even make the one of the two gigs I bothered to arrange. Which is about the same amount you've seen AMP's band, so I'll try not to weep softly to myself.
I got this recently:

Darryn,
I want to bring to your attention the lack of decent posting on the moon online. You know my stance as outlined in my recent email. We both know from experience my ‘persona’ as Doctor Benway on the moon online has been one of a bedsit dwelling asiaphile. A ruse, as much as a game has become dull in what can only be described as a shower of pitiful posting. You think a baby pissing all over your face is funny? Angry Thorn? Ridiculous. As for “Mikee Teevee’s” (hand wanks inclusive) potty talk, it’s enough to make me projectile vomit over a dead Japanese schoolgirl corpse. See what I did there? SEE WHAT I FUCKING DID?

Yes, sorry about my persona. I think I've turned it down though these days, and even though I'm still rocking the same old shit, I figure that nobody cares, and it bores me to talk about it. I do it on the quiet now. That Silent Hill wankery will hopefully be the last of my white noise-esque droning about all things nippon.
And I might be moving out of Finsbury Park Mansions this summer.

What the fuck are you all doing posting at this time of night? I only came in here to switch the computer off and now I find I'm all out-of-sync with this thread.
What were the questions? "Is your project going to be brilliant and interesting, do you think?" Well, it's just a fiction book, that's all. But, as London surmised a couple of pages back, it's just that it has a bit of a concept behind it quite beyond the actual story.
Anyway, it's not aimed at making money, and it's certainly not aimed at making fame and awards ceremonies, nor articles in hip magazines, nor critical acclaim. It would be a personal experiment for me. A few quid here and there and see what happened.
"What are you looking to achieve?" Just to sate my curiosity, really. Self-publishing is just a quick(er) way of testing the concept, that's all.
"How's the divorce coming?" I've not been served any papers yet. It doesn't seem to be an easy process anyway, but it is underway, yeah.

Been like it for some time now. I'm too scared to properly interact with you online now because all you seem to do is come out with ultra-sharp sarcasm & dead eyed reasoning. Even your film reviews are little more than elaborate attacks on unseen parties.
You used to be one of my favourites, but now you bring me down.
I've been feeling like this too, Dr Be, but didn't want to say anything for fear of sounding like a whingey fluff bucket.
And I wanted to say to London, maybe Dang's book's going to be about the history of the sproket in Cheshire, so he may well not be wanting, or likely to get, press in Marmalade.

Fucking hell, this is like one of the 'intervention group' things that Americans do for fat kids. Anyone else?

I dunno, if Thorn's not allowed to be harsh and I'm not allowed to be depressed what's next? dang not allowed to make bad puns? Benway not allowed to pst about hangovers?
It's a slippery slope into Draconian censorship, it really is.

there's a separate van for enablers. Anyway, I'm not saying that thorn's not allowed to be harsh. I'm not making any assertions re: what he can and cannot do, just expressing how thorn's relentlessly aggressive online activity makes me feel. It doesn't feel like the riffing or tongue in cheek playfulness of yesteryore. Hey, it's not like I'm the frikkin keystone of the boards, I'm not the voice of the people here. I'm not trying to burn the witch or demand justification. I'm only speaking out because I don't want to get all fucked up about it, and because, believe it or not, I think it's a shame that he's feeling the way he does.

Thorn's always harsh. It's not that. I've been fighting / debating with Thorn on here for years, and I've greatly enjoyed it. But lately it's been like arguing with the Terminator: just relentless logic and picking, with each point accompanied by putdowns and sarcasm - like arguing with Kovacs, but without Kovacs' sidesweeps into pastiche or ironic trolling or anything. Just POUNDING AWAY TO GET THORN'S POINT OF VIEW ACROSS till you just want to give the fuck up. I'd say that currently Thorn's the strongest voice on this board - harsh rhetoric, quick to anger, very intelligent - and when that voice is spoiling for a fight, and quite a nasty one at that, not the kind of fun / teasy intellectual debate of yore - who can be arsed?

I feel like I'm pouring negative vibes onto negative vibes, which will surely just create an even bigger bonfire of negativity around here. Toffee apple, anyone?
