"I think that most people visit this site because they're interested in Xiu Xiu, or like-minded bands, or indie music in general."
That's why I'm here. David, ever thought about starting your own online journal? Might be a bit more appropriate. try www.diaryland.com. That's where mine is.

I am going to write this down quickly because I am livid right now and I don't believe in letting things fester. You say: "I think that most people visit this site because they're interested in Xiu Xiu, or like-minded bands, or indie music in general." You're right, but Xiu Xiu is more than just a bunch of facts and rumors that anybody could find on a simple google search. And the Xiu Xiu bulletin board should be more than that too. I started this thread to show everyone we have more in common than Xiu Xiu. I talk to people I hardly know and they become my friends. This is what was missing: the communion. The fact that I'm posting regularly should have no negative connotation attached to it. How dare you, when I'm pouring myself out, suggest I take it someplace else...someplace where boring people go, people who are like "a place for everything and everything in its place." It is my freedom to write this here. Let me do it, and Ill let you.
First of all, "I think that most people visit this site because they're interested in Xiu Xiu, or like-minded bands, or indie music in general," was me quoting reply #42, which was not posted by myself...though in either event, a rather harmless and truthful statement.
So you to write to me, someone you do not know, "thats why youve got a big ass pickle hanging out ben. because no one wants to read what you have to say, diaryland or no diaryland. And on that note, heres my grocery list!"
and THEN, after *actually* posting your grocery list, you write,
"How dare you, when I'm pouring myself out, suggest I take it someplace else...someplace where boring people go, people who are like 'a place for everything and everything in its place.' It is my freedom to write this here. Let me do it, and Ill let you."
As you clearly know, David, it is your freedom to write whatever you like wherever you like, but have some goddamn respect. How dare YOU direct such insulting comments at me! You know nothing of me! I was simply trying to be helpful to someone who may not QUITE be aware he is making a complete and total ASS of himself. David, I understand the notion of "communion" between fans, but honestly, your writing is useless as anything else but self-indulgent diary entry, so PLEASE, do this website a favor and buy a diary! How old are you, David--16? If you have honestly deluded yourself into believing that "pouring out" your lame and pathetically childish reflections and revelations about your boring life would be interesting to the majority of Xiu Xiu fans that might check this site, you can have my pity as well as my disgust. For the record I don't even fucking keep an online diary on Diaryland! Or anywhere. I have a life, one I live instead of trying desperately to make it real by waving it in people's faces. I was trying to be helpful--to you! Get real David--everyone's either cringing or laughing at you, and even if your diarrheal outpour of half-assed "poor misunderstood me" bullshit text is supposed to be some sort of meta-ironic performance art, it's in bad taste. You want communion with other Xiu Xiu fans? Try tearing your attention away from your navel and ENGAGE us who visit this site in an EXCHANGE of ideas. Maybe??
I have little doubt that you "just don't care what people think" of you, to the point of belligerence, like an obnoxious child who shouts louder when someone asks him politely to quiet down--the bulk of puked-up narcissism that precedes this post is proof--and I have no doubt that as you read this there is nothing else on your mind but what to come up with for some sort of bitingly clever rebuttle that should appropriately hurt my feelings. Shrug. Almost certainly, you'll just keep posting your lame nonlife updates in increasing numbers to prove a point about freedom of speech. You'll still be an embarrassment to Xiu Xiu fans.
So, fuck you David Werking for insulting me when I was trying to be helpful. Oh--and thank you endlessly for "letting me" write this here, I am ever so grateful.

Actually ben I can't believe you took the time to post again. Yeah I know you dont have a diary. I checked it out. I did however read several diaries there and frankly it just wasnt for me. I would love to hear your ideas ben. Blow me out of the water with your creativity and insight into the world. Go ahead Im waiting.

You're trying to be helpful? How? Did you email me that info? No you posted it for everyone to see. You think Im making an ass out of myself. I dont. Case in point. I think it was Jack Logan that said "Millionaire knows its always hit or miss". Which is not to say its not worth the trouble. And the trouble is its own reward. Please help me stir up controversy. Barnum knew it. Come on dont ignore it. Lets keep this goin.

YOU think comments like those are harmless and truthful. So you think its all half-assed "poor misunderstood me" bullshit... now tell me what you found that was good about it. Have you read Pyncheon? Have you read ab Hugh?
I think you'd take me better if you knew what was out there.
