sure, no prob- a while ago, there was a thread about g&d playing in dc.. so i posted something along the lines of "i wouldn't go see them if my left boob depended on it." true, i really dont like their music at all but c'mon people.. joke, joke.
weeks and weeks later, dave, who i never ever talk to on IM, sends me this message, packed with the passive aggressiveness that only he can pull off so well: "well good thing your dont make a different in the outcome of my career" and by that point, i forgot wtf he was talking about or the fact that i posted it all but since he loves to do searches on himself, he sent me the link to it (if i were him, why would i care about someone having a negative opinion about them? everyone is entitled to like/dislike something and i just do not like their productions at all.) so at first, i hastily posted the convo it online bc i wasn't even sure it was him in fact.. could have been a prank... but then it was obvious it was him and i thought the whole situation was hilarious and so i posted it in the CORe basically making a self-deprecating joke about how dave pwned me w/ the statement he started off with. and boy, that really fired him up- the whole screename thing seemed secondary to the fact that i had posted up some of his evident arrogance in the first place.
the *only* mistake i made was to post his IM name so of course, that's the only thing i've been blasted for pretty much. other than that, the thread blew up to a completely different topic- people just hating bc he's an arrogant, debasing prick on the boards who acts like a crybaby and insults people if they dont think his music is good.
on a side note, i can't believe how much it has blown up and it's obvious that dave's thread in the music discussion was not only a way of revenge (which i could really care less about) but just more attention-seeking bc any publicity is good publicity, so he says. |
Interesting... Thanks for the rundown.
I had thought that maybe you had publicly called him a prima donna or something along those lines.
I can see where both of you are coming from, but I can also see how it's been blown out of proportion.
I think it's kind of funny how petty disputes on online message boards often seem to escalate with a snowball effect - but I guess that's just due to people having lowered inhibitions when they don't have to communicate with one another face to face.
Oh well. And as you said, at least Dave gets a little extra publicity out of it. I'm sure he'll cool down soon enough - or maybe if we're lucky, he'll let loose some of that misplaced anger by throwing down a viciously pounding set at Glow this coming weekend. :D |

he might not post anymore, but he'll be watching alright ;) |
His screen name was listed among those browsing the Music Discussion board just a few minutes ago, so if that's not a positive indication - I don't know what is. :toothless |

You'd think that since he's been on TA for so long now that he'd know about "invisible mode" |

Ahhh, who cares...
Him doing that proves one thing, he cares more about his ego than anything else. Anyone that cant take criticism shouldnt even exist in this community.
The only people that care are the ass kissing "celebrity" whores that want to get in his pants, guys and girls respectively.
I met Gabriel & Dresden briefly in 2003 when they were first breaking out into the scene, when ATRC was blowing up in every club in the world. They spun @ Arc, closing for John Fleming, June 21, 2003, than later came to, at the time, Victor Dinaire's loft and spun. Nice, egoless guys... I think this so called "fame" went to atleast one of their heads.
Whatever, no loss in my opinion. |

Up until this point, he's probably never paid that much attention. His inbox is full, anyway. :tongue2 |

You also have to understand that once they become famous, people have to deal with some serious vultures (as well as celebrity whores) on a daily basis. I'm sure it can't be a good thing to have to deal with psychologically.
I don't look at celebrities any differently than I do anyone else. They're people just like we are, but they've just been lucky enough to have received their so called, "big breaks." To put it bluntly, their stinks just like yours and mine does... and sometimes even much worse. |
