[my comments in]
This is amazing... When I subscribed to
an Orb mailing list, the last thing that I expected to encounter was a flame war
started by healthcare disagreements, followed by a flame war directed at someone
that was a MEMBER OF The Orb!!!!
[doesn't give him license to be an
ass]
We all have something in
common. Something inside of our collective brain is
*different* than most people. What percentage of people in this world
could listen to Orbvs Terrarvm and appreciate the beauty and complexity?
Not too many. However, few people on this list could comprehend NOT
appreciating an album of that caliber. The US may be divided
by the red vs blue mentality, but this list should be able to realize
that both red and blue are a part of the same spectrum. They may be
opposite ends of the spectrum, but they are both an integral part of the
whole.
[this isn't a collective
- or at least I didn't sign up to be part of
one]
[most people are
philosophically idiots - esp in rave community - that can't be helped - I
won't sink to hippie horse biscuits of "the Orb binds us" anymore than I'll
believe that kids doing E really love each
other]
keep things on-topic. I understand
that the healthcare thing was just someone that was looking for a little
assistance/ammunition for an essay or something, but let this be an example
of how a light-hearted off-topic post can ruin a community.
[if people can't take what was originally an
intellectual argument, maybe they should get out of the philosophical kitchen -
anyway, the important part is that if people continue to hold ideas like the
original poster of the medicine thread or the lack of ideas that the twat that
was formerly in the Orb like to get away with, it's only a matter of time before
the "community" is irrelevant and nonexistent]
Think about the poor suckers that are
seeing this as their ONLY representation of this group. We are all adults,
we are all intelligent, lets prove it with our actions.
[attention poor
suckers: You are advised - NOW is the time to start thinking.
Do you give Weston more money for royalties after seeing he's clearly unworthy
of receiving it and doesn't give a fuck?]
[the LEAST Mr. Weston could be is gracious towards fans
and appreciative of what he accomplished and had because of it - maybe if he
wasn't such an ass he'd still be in the band]
