I don't post much on or even read most threads on Ed's anymore is not because I don't have a backbone but because I don't really don't feel like getting in a pissing match about some stupid crap. The main problem I have is reading on every single thread 50 or 60 times by the same posters that the music I listen to sucks or that I don't listen to is real music. There are times where I see who posted last and I know exactly what I'm going to read so why even bother. Take this thread for example, if TGF does the same thing they would get praised but Ed gets ridiculed for it. For the reason that he sells coffee on his website. Now, I'll never buy it but is that really a big deal. If there is a market for it and people buy and like it, so why not sell it. We live in a capitalist society and no one has to buy it if they don't want to.

Now, I don't care if people don't like Ed, TGF, or if someone hates both projects, that's everyone's right but to me it's like a broken record. Maybe it's because I try not to dwell on stuff I don't like, but focus on the things I do like. To me it seems hypocritical that people attack Nick for posting negative stuff in TGF forums, but do the same thing in Ed's forums. Nick has his reasons just like I'm sure the people that post about Ed but it goes both ways. Personally, I wish it would stop on both sides because it doesn't help either side. That's not to say someone shouldn't say anything negative about either Ed or TGF but the constant bitching and moaning is annoying, at least to me. It's kinda ruined a little of my excitement of both albums, but that's why I made the decision not to read or post about too much.

But this is just my opinion, so blast away I'm just ready for the summer time to finally hear some new music.
