Hello amateur DJ, I will post what I feel like, whenever I feel like it. You choose to continue with your grandstanding so here is my reply,
You do recall belittling a certain performer for no reason whatsoever now don't you? That IS the default standard of talentless & lazy copyright leeches. You do pay royalties for your ill gotten DJ content don't you? ^^ I am only a member of the Australian copyright authority but we are of course affiliated with the American one.

I do not know what you and your deficient *friends problem is nor do I care. The independent mods are well tuned now to deal with your hate. Of course I will repeat what I have said previously but you fail to recognise *knock knock hellooooo? If i ever report a post, rest assured I will announce it like I did with the only one I ever have reported. Of course honesty and the ability to produce original works are not natural traits of the snide copycat brigade/copyright thief now are they?
I do accept that inevitably such an event as H2 will be tainted with a mediocre want to be. It is a shame you seek to drag H2 & Hippies superb efforts down to your level, but that is to be expected I suppose. When you (cough) *perform there, just bear in mind that the entire live performance community from all corners of the world will be LAUGHING at you. I wouldn't miss it for quids. Of course I will also point out that anything I write here has no connection to anyone or any group whatsoever, but I am sure you will find some way to distort the truth as always.

I also realise that you will replicate this text in all possible web cesspools that you both inhabit and deperately message it to all and sundry, quite simply, I could not care less.

FYI: I have no defined role in H2 Staff other than being availabe for Hippie or any other genuine contributor to call upon if required. Even DJ's who are worthy of helping! :-o (read normal fun loving people who seek to give to others).

Forget the LWL & The Forum Cartel dear venus, those who create original works are the ones whom you and your ilk truly offend the most. Is it not also laughable that whatever difficulties you encounter in your SL, (zapped posts etc), you create yourself? That is an admirable "contribituon" indeed. Hats off to new age creators! WooT!

Please continue your self induldgent public suppository, the community expects no less. "

NO COMMENTS ALLOWED HIPPIESTOCK AT RISK

KATTATONIA WROTE:

Hippiestock II is just around the corner and I'm afraid it's going to be more like Altamont than Woodstock.  It hasn't been the best of times in the good ol' SL forums this year.  Such a shame when you think about it.  There were some good times. Followed by the blackout and the drugging.  Lithium replaced Jive and things got in turns ugly then dull, then ugly, then dull again.

Casualties so far: Suspiria and Seicher were driven away from SL by and Pep and Ima respectively.  Ima was so damaged by her successful campaign that she has become rather marginal herself.  Pep on the other hand seems to be flourishing regardless of how many bans he has.

As I see it, the source of the current feud stems from the fact that Maddie very seriously tried to persuade her friend Storm that his friend Pep was evil.  He got tired of this and actually came to a different conclusion.

But I'm sure there were antecedents to this state of affairs that I am not so clear on.  When I came in Suspiria was attacking every new person because she believed that they were alts of someone who she felt was attacking her.  Not sure about who it was.  Pep maybe?

As far as I can see, Pep just enjoys trolling.  Anyone he can get a rise out of is fair game.  He goes after Lillie because it gets a rise from Gypsy, Dee, and Av. He goes after them because they fight back. He goes after Maddie indirectly because he doesn't fair so well with her in a direct confrontation. Maddie understands the rules better and tries to get everyone to stop responding. Gypsy, Dee and Aveline don't like bullying and they fight back. This backfires due to the cardinal rule of trolling.  When you fight back against a troll, the troll wins.

Poor Storm and Gypsy are conspiracy theorists. They know that there has been some outright as well as subtle manipulation going on and they have chosen opposite sides.  They don't trust very many people.  Some former friendships have been lost because of their conclusion that there are sides and if you're not fore them then you must be against.
