Tell you what, if I'm allowed to talk to you about the experience I had this week of dissecting a rat, then I'll do exactly that.

Urban is no more comparable to Ethan than Marilyn Manson was to Charles Manson. I'll give you that people have a strong affinity to Urban, but its because of a mutual set of interests (in my opinion).

The flittering zombies that followed Ethan just wanted to suck the cock of a face-less idealized emotional state. There was nothing concrete about him or the creatures that followed him or whatever their implied interests were. It was leetspeak, and Bright Eyes/Elliot Smith fanboi-ism, and some sort of clothing scene planted between hipsters and hippies. It was nothing else, and whatever you think of Urban, its resoundingly unfair to compare him to that.

In no way do I disagree with anything you said. I simple was making the statement that they both have/had large numbers of dedicated followers. I used the word minions to draw attention to my post in a cheap childish manner.

I couldn't not have described Ethans strange draw over people any better, I think you really nailed it. Although he always did seem remarkably honest in his postings.

@Urban: Maybe not minions but members willing to s a little d if need be.

Who the **** is/was Ethan? I genuinely have no idea who you're even referring to.

Sleepy Jack.

I know nothing about the man. I sort of remember him being a regular poster. I guess he probably sucked.

Over the course of his time here he had about 15 names, like everyone else these days, but all you need to know it that he was banned 3 or 4 times, posted constantly so as to attain 9k posts about 3 years back, mod-ed, left, flirts with coming back but, in my opinion, doesn't have enough fan fare to return.

My god I am ashamed of not rereading my above post for typos. No edit function here :(

That's kinda funny he was banned 3 or 4 times and was a mod. I remember when he left he had a signature something like "gone off to the big sleep" (something like that) and I thought it was some kind of subliminal message that he went and done himself in or seriously contemplated to do so. After a long spell he came back to MB which logically meant he didn't (you know) and was only on a hiatus which alleviated some concern I had for him. He did change his signature during he slight return but then he changed his costumer user title is "isfckingdead" which again raises some concern. Really, I don't remember much about him.

Oh wait, we hate Ethan? ****ing hell, the cliques on here are so bad about getting their newsletters distributed.

He joined the forums when he was like 12 years old or something. Maybe you ought to cut him some slack?

I got into a couple of heated debates with him and he even banned me a couple of times (and I definitely deserved it) but I still like the guy and don't really harbor any hate. Makes me wonder what he did to you to inspire this tirade of yours.

Personally, I find your sophisticated, uppity urban chic attitude/lifestyle just as bland as how you described sleepy jack.
