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 inc

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 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.
