That's way too big for me to give a shit. I'm kind of at a loss though, is this spam? The guy does have other posts...but I haven't seen em...

i believe so. we need a "lock" smiley.

Well if that's the case, this guy's an asshole. If it isn't...he's still an asshole, I just won't have any grounds for saying that.

No, we fucking don't.

Can you think of anything less likely to make us lock a thread than all you monkeys hooting for its destruction?

__________________

i dont see why you and PST continue to argue that point. what difference does it say if we all vote yea or nay on a thread? it gets locked if its against the rules, not because you are mods and not because this is a democracy as pst so loves to inform us

ahhhh my eyes

Because it's fucking irritating. Also, we don't like you very much and take great delight in being difficult.

Now, respond to the post or shut your babbling mouth.

Isn't infoterror the guy that ragged on Chuck Shuldiner and now everyone on teh interweb hates him?

by "we" i didnt mean you. you wouldnt need, or want one, you have a lock button or something.

and yes, i think you would be less likely to close a thread if it didnt break any rules.

I understand how a collective pronoun works, you stupid child.

The rules are enforced at are discretion. Meaning that we will leave a thread open arbitrarily to piss you off if you ask us to close it. So you're best off shutting up, as always, especially if you want us to close the thread.

This doesn't constitute spam. ANUS is a big deal when it comes to the metal internet and it's worthwhile noting when it's updated. It's a pile of shit, but it's still an event.

And yeah, infoterror and the other ANUSheads probably talk shit about Chuck selling out metal and so on. It's fun and enjoyable.

im very happy for you

give me a break, if you think it pisses us off when you leave a thread, that we've bitched about, open, youre supporting a lost cause. i dont think even you believe thats your reason.

I'm not giving you a break. When I respond to something Transient says with a 'you,' I'm actually not specifically saying that timedragon, or anybody else, gets angry when he sees a thread he wants closed left open. I'm saying Transient does, and whines about it. If you care so much about pronouns, please try to understand them when they're being used.

why is there always a select few that always have to bitch about everything? Its the internet god dammit....if you don't like the way this forum is ran....fuck off and go somewhere else god dammit!!

Anus is brown. Although sometimes a pinky-brown.

Wow, that's a ridiculously elaborate article. If I had say, 5 spare hours I would read it all and be very, very educated on heavy metal.

I'm impressed.

EDIT: Read some of it and Goddam, does the author use "Nihilistic" a lot. To the point of annoyance.

anus.com has always been a crock of shit written by people who think they are, simply put, the shit.

I cant actually take it seriously. I admire the time they spend on metal and everything, I mean its all very admirable, but when you read the indepth musical analysis of bands you just start laughing aloud and the pretentiousness of it all.

Yeah I don't know where the hell I've been, but I've never heard of it before. Couldn't really figure out whether it was serious or not, didn't read that much, but I don't think someone would put that much time into it if they weren't that serious about it.

Yeah, Chuck is a Christian and therefore sucks at metal, but the fact that he's a metal musician who went Christian at all would be more or less the definition of selling out to somebody like Spinoza Ray Prozak, the High Priest of Nihilistic Metal. He's really wonderful, though. Especially when you find his hidden Varg boards.
