Ahhh...now you need to go back and READ. I don't attack people "personally" on this list - although it is very, very tempting to do so. I flame you for the fact you are aligning yourself with a bunch of thieves and cowards and trying to make everyone believe that it is OK to steal. I have a sense of values, and when I have something to say, I back up my stand with FACTS. Where are yours? As a matter of fact none of you lamers have provided a goddamn thing but attacks. When are you going to SHUT THE FUCK UP and answer the GODDAMN QUESTION??

I have another question for you Nikki. Are you making a conscious effort to piss me off so I personally flame you? Also you quoted my statement about requiring a backbone. Do you have anything to contribute to the list that after reading, makes you appear even the slightest bit credible?

NP - Press Play, STP

I am not trying to make people believe that it is okay to steal music, its your preference whether you chose to download copywrited stuff, I chose to do so, a ton of people chose to do so, I do it ALOT, just as much as I buy cd's also, but me and the tons of other people do not deserve to get flamed for it. The only reason that the lamers as you call us..(thats one attack there) chose to retort is because we are sick of putting up with the righteous high and mighty assholes who post to this list that act like they own it. I have been a part of this list for three years, and never have I experienced the kind of behavior that goes on here now, just about every single person who was on this list from day one is now gone because of this immature petty bullshit. What kind of facts do you want? I stated I download music, what more facts do you need?

People are attacking you and others because we are sick of being treated like shit for having an opinion, and telling people to shut the fuck up is rude, and disrespectful and uncalled for. I know now that I am going on a tangent here but I have had enough. What happened to the topic of Creed on this list?? The last time that Creed was on tour we got about 500 emails a day and it was all about the tour, people talking about the shows, V writing to tell us about her mini Creed tours, everybody posting music news, anything music related was welcomed and now, when anybody posts anything Creed related, hardly anybody gives a damn and its forgotten almost immediately. We usually have a rush of Creed concert reviews from people, but there have been very few, cause people don't want to post among all the bullshit that goes on here. I know this list is called lamelist, congratulations, a few of you people have made it that way, because it never used to be like this. Flame me all you want for my opinions because you all will anyway, I really don't care at this point.
