Friendly advice -- use the ignore list or just scroll past the garbage you don't want to pay any mind to. There's no point in getting agitated by anything you see on the web though, it's just more stress and consternation, as if most people have room for more.

Excellent advice. I come around here for Underworld-related news and discussion, the occasional bit of inspiration from Craft or Headset. Noise is Noise and the majority of the rest i can easily filter out. jOHN or whatever thread is being hotly debated always works a few (myself included over the years) into a frenzy for a couple days, but always ends up unresolved and is forgotten. Whatever, right?

As for jOHN,
Every group needs a whipping boy, as it unites the rest. He's unscathed by any attempt to insult or undermine, he'll just retort more of the same...so, just let him do what he wants. It's not hurting the real point of the darktrain dirty forums, just a bit more junk to filter through to get there. No point in trying to change someone, especially someone you don't really know. I imagine the attention makes him happy, so if that's all it takes to improve his day, great. Reading a ridiculous exchange from semi-anonymous forum posters like this is sometimes good for a laugh, too.


Meanwhile, Underworld are playing shows, making music, and the world is turning and meaningful things are happening
