*sighs harshly* Without mentioning names, I thought I'd throw this out there. In my message board perusals I constantly see people going out of their ways to post hateful things. More specifically, I see people who go through all the trouble to register for a board and post about how much they hate the band of said board. Now, I don't understand this. I have never registered for any site, message board, blog, etc. just to rant about how much I dislike it. I've never even bothered to post a negative response on a board I was already registered on, unless it was constructive criticism that was specifically asked for (say, a battle of the bands kind of thing). You know, if I see someone post about a band I don't like...well, I just don't read the post. I got better things to do...like find more music I do like.

So, I seriously want to know...what motivates people to be so vicious? Do they really hate someone or something so much that they have to speak about it every single damn time its mentioned? Is it secret jealousy? Is it a method of gaining popularity to jump on the bandwagon of self-righteous decisiveness?

I joined a new message board the other day and the amount of hate on there is unreal. The message board is for a member of one band who quit that band and started his own solo project. So the amount of "I hate you for leaving ____" is incredible. I just don't get it. It seems like supporting indie music for the sake of supporting indie music is a novel concept these days...why does success have to be competitive?

Anyways. I'd post more, but nothing has really happened lately. *shrugs*
