oh do fuck off "gutdebord" (lol). its very funny, and its past 12 - which means you have no class, mate. anyway, i'm not posting here anymore (on account of shit like that, tbh).

eta: i mean, there iws a thin line between 'critiquing a friend' (for want of a better senetence) and being a cunt. and i am amazed, that this place consistently fails. fwiw, at least lazy riser has some fucking class.

eta2: you inserted a pm from me. i didn't see that. thats low ffs. and you didn't include my heartfelt apology for getting angry sad

eta3: i mean, you didn't even include the bit where i apologized in the very fucking pm of mine which you posted! sigh. if i still posted here i would really get angry.

there really are some braindead fucks out there.Considering anarchists and the like are suppoused to have an ability for critical thought it seems to be in short supply amongst some of the tubes here.

also i was smart enough to know that Fly Posters is an admin creation set up to stir the issue as no doubt someone didn't have the patience to wait for the muppets to post a thread about it.

Also we'd have to be going pretty far to post

you're getting very defensive about this.

and why not post that on IMC sure others linked to it and it hardly takes much.

Just seems odd that someone would just register to post a say No to Amazon thread.

that's a relief, for a minute I had visions of being forced into being an indie fop who prefers INC to Refused, thinks Scrubs is funny and Ben Stiller is a cinematic god. tongue

i was in bed at that time after taking drugs and pulling a hot straight girl in a gay bar. thank you very much. grin

I have noticed a direct correlation between me having a life and a decline in the length and frequency of my libcom posts.

Now that i'm back in work....
