Flea's Final Message

Hi Everbody.

I am just popping in to say my goodbyes. I have decided to
leave this this board. I do this with a tinge of sadness as
I have made a few friends here, you know who you are feel
free to email me on
significarta@hotmail.com
or ping me when I appear of slsk on and off.

Now my reasons for leaving. First and foremost is the
appalling hostility shown towards me and especially towards
my wife RED, who has asked to have her account deleted. All
she was doing was trying to stand up for me which only a few
of you chose to do. Then last night she especially insisted
that I read the aftermath of my temp ban, what I saw shocked
the hell of out of me. I never actually realised that I was
the XLT's public enemy number one. As expected of any
ordinary person I was under the delusion that I was a kinda
average likeable guy, boy did that delusion shatter into a
million pieces.

What were my reasons for creating all of those War threads.
Well I dont know, I arrived on the board on the day after
War to see many WAR threads, from people telling people to
turn on CNN and partake in the awesome sights on offer, to
threads about of B52's taking off to bomb Baghdad to people
talking about how much they hated anti-war protests. Some
of these threads by the way Ceri JC participated in as well.


Prior to that there was an actual XLT poll about the War.
Aphex Twin contributed to an antiwar compilation. Autechre
became a part of an antiwar artists coalition. Warp hosted
Bushwhacked. Massive Attack have spearheaded anti nuclear
and antiwar movements. DJ Shadow released an antiwar track
on MP3.

Face it War is an apalling abomination, that cant help but
consume hearts and mind of the creative, artistic
individuals, which I was sadly mistaken into believing that
most of the people on this board are. So much for that.

Marlowe hit it on the head about the sycophantic attitude.
Board may belong to Phobia and co, but your minds are yours.

Shaping and bending and reforming your opinions to the
increasingly constricitng and suffocating mindset that the
board wants to impose, is just contradictory to idea of
being on a forum. Ask yourself, exactly why are you here,
if not to share YOUR opinion,YOUR point of view. I asked
myself the same question and the answer was the biggest
reason for deciding to say my farewells.

This used to be a community, it is has now turned into a
hive of drones. A sad development.

Once again sorry for wasting so much of your time throughout
my long stay here, because in the end it surely feels like I
wasted mine.

I sincerely but probably in futility hope you will
reconsider your decision Flea. I think you always had
sensible comments and were never one to come up with
bullshit posts and topics. One of the few who tried to keep
things mature.

goodbye Flea :(

I never had any beef with you, imo you're a nice dude,
shame you leave this place, you had honest and well-placed
remarks as far as i remember, i think that's what this board
needs, and..

I agree with you that it looks less and less like a
community here :\

Jeeeeeeeeeesus fucking Christ, we're not drones, how fucking
offensive. You can make a war topic and talk about however
you want, hell, make TWO of them. I don't care what you talk
about war-wise, neither does Ceri. Just don't make a new
topic to report every little thing that happens. I'd love to
see a 1000+ reply topic about war, nobody's stopping you
from doing that.

Seeya, I liked you, but naturally too many people take this
shit too seriously and go running home crying when a ''Nazi
mod goes crazy''. Which never happens.

i didnt pay much attention to this cos i hate watching
everyone take sides over shit. i didnt realise this guy was
banned for starting a WAR thread... i mean, come on you're
behaving territorially by banning this guy. its all war of a
sort. stop conflict.
fuck i really dont care cos i dont even know this guy or
anything but he seems gutted.
i have to say as well, that artists are making these
statements so people like you will have these kind of
debates.
thats the whole point.
phob?

I just thought we had got overr this
"MB has gone to shit" bullshit.

why fucking tell us in a big statement you arre going, just
go. I don't rreally want to see you go so i don't mean to be
harrsh, but why make it so definate.

''i didnt realise this guy was
banned for starting a WAR thread''

He WASN'T. He was banned for openly defying Ceri who
politely asked him to stop making so many. One all
encompassing topic would be great for all the links he was
giving, would have been welcome. Ceri askes nicely, and then
Flea starts two more instantly just to defy him.

maybe he just had to release some tension that he aqcuired
over this shit. In that case, it really works to make such a
final statement because otherwise it would feel as if it
wasn't sealed off, the topic wasn't closed in his mind.
That's how it would work for me anyway.

ive never seen ophecks act unfairly moderating this board,
and i think we all know he wasn't acting with some political
motive in mind

if flea was starting as many threads as he did only to ad a
single news url about any other heated topic when one
thread, or maybe a couple was all he really needed, how do
you think the moderators would have dealt with that?
especially if he was asked to stop

someone said shame on us for being hard on him... i say
shame on him for being so childish and dramatic

(LOL so most people on here aren't creative or artistic
anymore just cus they dont share your view on one issue? an
issue that has nothing to do with why you CHOSE to leave?)

you guys sensationalize what happens here to such a
ridiculous level whenever you dont like it..

Well it wasn't me actually, I was busy for a couple of days
and I missed the whole bruhaha, but I took a look back at
old topics. Ceri banned him, not me, but I agreed with what
he did anyway.

Oh well, let him go, Flea is better than us ''drones''.
