David... I think it's time to start kicking people off this site. There's such a thing as fair judgment and critique... But there is just too much nonsense on this site, now...and it's been going on for too long. The shear idiocy of people who come to this site, rail against Morrissey, and then when Morrissey is defended, the idiots attempt to mock the defenders with such genius as "Of course YOU would defend your royal saint Mozzer-meat," or other. This is what makes up the majority of the posts these days. There really isn't a fine line between valid critique and stupidity...the difference between the two is fairly obvious. So, as a longtime visitor to this site, you have my vote to use your qualified discretion to begin kicking people off this site and block them forever. Thank you for your time... -dewdrop
Seriously. IP banhammer of the gods. Or if some notion of free speech or hands off management is the party line, at least disable anonymous posting so they can still say whatever they like and the rest of us can filter them out and otherwise enjoy the site. It's easy enough for anyone who has anything to say to start an account. Let these braying donkeys sign up and then shout into a void, or at least into an asylum full of their willing fellow nutcases.
These people have dug a busy latrine in your front yard, DavidT, unless they're all you and this is revenge for being targeted. Why do you let them continue? Every single post is guaranteed to be chock full of the same flavor of endless frothing crazy that has transcended trollism at this point to become obsession of the genuine mental illness variety. It's nuts on its own but on a fansite? How is it even a fansite when these people are its primary flavor? I think there's plenty of room for critical discussion of any given thing in Morrissey world, the man or the music, but you know this other stuff is just deranged. Sane users become reluctant to click into any comment thread because we know how much of the same nasty, broken-record, loopy crazy vitriol we will have to sift through to get to the actual content and discussion with fellow fans.
This is really the only place on the internet to stay current with Morrissey and interact with other fans, this site dedicated to a guy the permanent trolls flay daily in this bizarre vendetta. There isn't a better recipe to drive people away from this site than to leave these kooks running loose to spray piss everywhere. Anyone who comes here starts on a countdown clock to leaving in weary disgust because of these people, or this person with a quiver of sockpuppets. Please please please let us get rid of anonymous posting. Could morrissey-solo be sane again?
