In 2004, when you joined there were thousands of active users. This continued from before Quarry to ROTT to YOR and beyond. Main Page polls at a low got 2,000 votes and at a high over 10,000. When the votes on Main Page polls started to decline to below 1,000 votes (and this included anonymous users) , David pulled them stating "slow load time" was the reason. As if, these stupid GIFs and giant signatures don't slow the site down. Whether site traffic is up or down, only David knows. However, the number of active users has plummeted and that is a fact.
I believe he spoke from the heart when he made the comparisons. Killing and eating defenseless animals is a horror and a shock to him and so is pedophilia. That's why he said it.
I don't like the comparison either. I cut him some slack because he's an artist that I admire. He's also an artist that realizes that life is a horror and a massacre.....and he thinks it can be changed. I personally don't have those illusions.
When I saw Morrissey recently....some people actually turned away and left during the powerful Meat is Murder.
Maybe that's why tseng allowed this article on the Main page. Maybe he's mad at Morrissey for the comment.
Even if that is true.....still no excuse for posting this trash.
Once more you hold Morrissey to different standards. It does him no favours whatsoever.

I've been reading this website regularly for the last few years and i fully support David's stance to publish negative as well as positive comments and stories but this is the first time i've ever felt uncomfortable and thought that a line of decency has definitely been crossed. This story isn't simply tenuous, it's non-existent and being accused of paedephilia is about the strongest insult one could experience. By being featured on this website (from which a lot of media sources seem to obtain news) you're simply exposing this heinous accusation to a much wider audience (who else had ever heard of the coleman website before it was linked here?). Please reconsider David

If he turns up at the O2 Dublin gig he would certainly have earned a glasgow kiss
Do you feel the Guardian report "Morrissey: eating meat is the same as paedophilia" should be removed from the site because a lot of people took huge offense at the statement made by Morrissey that was reported? Also, do you think the Guardian editor who posted that agrees with the statement?
The fact that it was not some reputable news source also isn't a reason not to post something. I post things from various sources, many times from places I have never heard of. 17 years ago this site was just something some nobody created but apparently a lot of people are paying attention to now. Or not - the traffic is dwindling to zero as some anonymous people insist and a place where Morrissey says "no one he knows logs into".

The Guardian was "reporting" what Morrissey actually said. This blog was not reporting information, it was not adhering to logical norms. I don't understand why you don't see that?
The site is 'reporting' what the blog actually said. I don't understand why you don't see that.
You can't touch me, I'm from Hollywood!

Then why isn't EVERY SINGLE POST of this Strange & Unexpected Morrissey References thread on the main page?

Because I choose not to?
