Rude Fans Slaming DISABLED FANS

[suns_recline]

OH the drama, OH the pain and victimisation of it all, :'(.
bloody'ell, ruddy over sensative people.

you know, i think if you merdged the offtopic page and the main turisas page, more people would post.
one thing i have always found with many forums is if people dont think their msg will be seen by most forum members, they wont bother posting it and as offtopic is a subsection people are probibly just sticking to either one or the other.

just an idea...hmmm.

Hehe - yeah but that does get your main forum about what people had for breakfast that day, rather than band talk.

[suns_recline]

indeed it does, but then other people of the more music orientated variety will spend extra time pondering apon ideas for turisas related threads in an attempt to drown out the nonsence threads from the main page.

ah haaa *strokes beardy beard*

ps. im just speaking from experience due to being one of the main moderators of a 15,000 strong forum and certain alt profile site with active community.
it just tends to work better if you meld subtopics, it also tends to make people check in more often due to the sudden change of popular topic every hour or so.
its actually the main reason that i only pop in here every week instead of every day *nods*.

Not all Metal fans are rude to the disabled

...this thread was practically worm-food, though if one does a search of Pokerisas' posts, they are entertaining but not in the 'ha ha' way.

Wow, bump much?
Awesome picture though.

Saw the pets one. I nearly weed myself. What the difference between being disabled and being a disabled American? And how does this affect your posts? There's plenty of "differently abled" people on forums I embrace, most of the time you don't actually know unless you meet them or they tell you. The original poster wasn't terribly specific though...It's like saying "you don't like my posts? WELL YOU'RE RACIST."

He played the disabled card for..what reason exactly?

And that picture is so many kinds of awesome.

Amen, my vegetable friend. I'm disabled (not physically) and I'm always torn between getting angry and laughing my ass off when people behave like 'Pokerisas' did. I get angry because it makes all disabled people sound like ignorant, arrogant twats who expect the world to revolve around them because they're disabled, then I laugh, because people who behave like that are so incredibly pathetic. Yes, you're disabled, so fucking what? Disabilities are only terrible things (as in, "oh you poor darling" ) if you let them be, and everyone's capable of choosing to be a person, rather than a victim or a fucking disability statistic.

On the other hand, I thought the pets thread opened up a whole new world - why bother stalking the band, when you can stalk their pets? Assuming any of them have pets, there could be a whole new merch line in it for them...

If you have a disability, you can't let it define you in a negative factor....ie for the sympathy vote. It eventually annoys people, and makes other more kind hearted folk feel guilty when they really shouldn't be. I'm not disabled (with the exception of the genuine dyslexia, not the sort that makes you spell words with numbers), but I have a few friends who are who would agree with me on that

On the note of pets...I think they should all do a Mika and buy eggies!
