wolfie - I wouldn't talk to us either, if I were Chris. Unlike many people at cc.com, I never took it personally that he didn't pop in and say hi. I actually respected him more for that, to be honest.

But I really do wonder if he or someone who knew him had a problem with the constant negativity around there lately. I don't know, I just felt like the place became less about praising him and his work and more about bitching about him and his work.

There almost seemed to be a contest, of sorts, to see who could be the most insulting when it came to AS sometimes. Like some people took it personally that he wasn't creating what they wanted him to.

I just listen to other stuff. I hope he comes back to darker, more experimental music some day with different musicians (as much as I loved RATM, they are too one-dimensional for Chris), but I have plenty of other stuff to fill my ears until then.

I don't know the point I'm trying to make here. I just wish things could have gone a little differently at the end. I don't ever want to impede on people's ability to express their opinions about anything, but I don't think anyone exists in a vaccuum, either.

What's done is done, though. I don't think there's any real point in pursuing the matter further (with Fullerene or Bill or anyone else), as they seem to have said as much as they want to say. So, now we just wait and hope that the new version isn't a big steaming pile of crap.

Truthfully, I never thought CC was a computer person and checked in on the forum, never. I have heard him say so himself, but I do think he was more aware of what a forums purpose is, it's to get fan feedback. So I guess he was also way past EM to keep it running and yeah, people always expressed a large amount of negativity about AS and they blamed him for not being a fan anymore, because we were at his name site. I'm sure RAGE sights get the same kind of thing. I also think an artist should listen to what the fans have to say whether it's good or bad. I'm sure he was more upset with what was being said about his family. I don't like things that is always one sided, that's not very good for discussion. I think alot of the things that were said went too far and some people didn't know when to end arguments and it started to get personal. It also octrasized others from joining in on the topic and expressing their opinions. I do feel a little guilty and sad that it did end with such a bad outlook on Chris and I do still love the guy and I am a fan.
