Actually, thoughts and little unknown facts.
To quasi-counterpoint Tee's statement earilier this week, there IS a metal community, but not quite as we all intend it to be. I suppose it's more a state of mind than an actual group of people devoted to the defense and progression of metal, because, as we know, many of us on this board, as well as planetwide, are unfortunately closed-minded on the very thought as to why we listen to metal, and why others don't, or even why one of us listens to one subgenre of metal but not another. It creates tensions that are unbearable sometimes, and causes groups that SHOULD be goood friends to split into warring, flaming factions. I visit the In Flames baord quite often, and it pains me to see all these BRILLIANT people degrade themselves to the level of the very commercial clones we come to hate... I wish they'd open their eyes, and even though not all will agree, which is fine, they should at least hear each other out and be fair in comment. General Zod and I don't see eye to eye on Reroute to Remain, but hey, it's fine. This problem isn't as apparent here, but it is in that the board members I came to know and respect when I first came on scene exactly one year ago to the HOUR seem to despise the fact that some of Nevermore's fans are younger, might have different reasons than them for being here, or are here just to have fun... That's what bothers me. I happen to like the kids, esp. dreaming neon darkspot, Dead6skin6mask6 and famousamoswillkillyou... That doesn't mean that I hate ledmag, who actually stuck by the board during this controversy, or Tee, or Neverlady, or anyone else I forget to mention, even RIP50, even he is fine compared to that ass MSC from a few months back. There is a community, it's just... well, exactly like the outside world, I suppose. We all have agendas too conflicting to compromise, or opinions too rigid and blunt, or are just plain stupid.
Now, as for facts:
+NoLordy really IS of Norse descent. His last name is Swayne, which originated from "Sveyn" in Scandanavia circa 800 C.E.
+NoLordy hates country music. No way around it, either.
+Yes, NoLordy IS offended by Christianity.
+No, NoLordy doesn't mind Jews. They never bother anyone, so why?
+NoLordy has a pathological hatred for Mexican music (a.k.a. Circus music.)
+NoLordy hates sports.
