These really suck, but I have trouble believing that they're randomly selected. A random selection, and not one normal message, not one simple complement?

I can say with absolute certainty that MOST people are wilfully uninformed, self centred and cruel - I guess that goes for NIN "fans" as well.

However, we are not ALL douchebags. Some of us hold you and your work in high esteem. Some of us really LIKE to see you try new things and go in different unexplored directions. After 20 years, you've earned my respect and I am comfortable just going with whatever you think is best - you clearly know what the fuck you're doing!

On a side note, it kinda sounds like this Bellpepper needs their house burned down. Or something.

Whoa, I thought this was going to be another "in b4 a lock thread."

Meddy/Mudusa/Melike, why don't you get that pineapple out of your vag and get outside or something? Oh wait, your racist bigot attitude will get you a cuntpunching and a stay in the psyche ward.

I usually avoid weighing in on these sorts of things but those comments that were sent to you were really hateful and disgusting. Ugly, unhappy people tend to like try to make others feel as miserable as they are. Just think of yourself as the pond and them as Narcissus, they are only seeing a reflection of themselves when they look at you-they aren't actually seeing you. Think nothing of those who cannot live in or accept reality.

OK, I now return to happily lurking.

Ciao

Wow Trent. I'm very sorry you have to deal with this type of bs. But you know pay no mind to them.
You have overcome so much more.
So don't let that stupidity get to you.

Thank you for all you do for us.

And the Cunt of The Year award goes to...

Wow. I am so sorry.


On the sunny side, if what you are doing isn't ruffling some feathers, you aren't doing anything worth noticing.

I think you are awesome.

Cuz your a rockstar, you've got some rock moves, *dunna remember the words*, And I'ma showwww youuuu tonight! We gon fight, annnnd im losing steam.

See now, that's too far. It's one thing to flood that users inbox with "u r moron fukhat", large amounts of gay/hetro porn (whichever offends the most) however, suggesting whoever's house be burnt down? Uh, no. Dumb suggestion, and anything similar is equally dumb.

Oh, and watch "Back To The Future." I don't know why. I guess because it's awesome. And maybe it'll cheer you up. I mean, shit, it could always be worse. You could be stuck in 1955, and accidentally prevent your parents from getting together thus negating your existence. That would suck. Bad. I mean, shit. Then you'd have, like, a very, very limited window of time in which to drive your Delorean under a bolt of lightning, or you'll be stuck in 1955 forever. And that would suck, 'cause, as we found out, they're not exactly keen on modern music. Which means you'd have to start playing in a Buddy Holly tribute band or something.

Oh, did I mention that at least some of us are sane? I didn't say me, mind you. But some of us.

jesus, some people are fucking dumb. your my favorite music artist, keep up the good work. good luck with the rest of touring and you personal life. that's some horribly annoying shit to put up with, but you got to take into account that there are fucking psycho fucktards out there... maybe you can colab with timbaland and diddy for a comeback album down the road.

btw, the atlanta show kicked major ass.

Wow, I am so sorry people are ignorant and stupid at times. I feel compelled to apologize for others being completely rude and careless.
For the record, I like to think that most of us are human and kind, and hell I love you Trent no matter what! Best musician ever and that is that! If anyone wants to be rude, well Karma is a bitch.
I completely understand the crankiness, but don't let them get you down just because they are evil, and BLOCK THEM! You have worked very hard in your life and have great accomplishments. Thanks for being you as you make me, and countless others very happy and hopefully most of us sane (well somewhat sane anyways) people can help to make you happy by simply enjoying everything that you do!

Can't wait until June 3rd!!!!

And THAT is why TR tried so hard to keep his private life private..

Seriously Trent you need to just NOT read past the first line. Its not worth wasting your anger and emotion on a bunch of angry trolls.

This should be a happy time in your life. You are taking a big step forward in your career and personal life.

Just be happy and ignore those assholes please.

After the tour is over you should take a nice long vacation somewhere far away like a remote island with your wife and just be happy for once in a long time

XOX

PS I will see you on the 20th in Irvine and i want to see a HAPPY TR on stage

Dear Mr. Reznor,

It would appear as though there's an abundance of trolls in the Twitter community. Many of which are making blatantly disgusting comments such as these out of nothing short of sheer envy and jealousy. The Angela Zajac incident was one thing. After I made congratulatory remarks via twitter in regards to your engagement, she responded with mockery. She and people like her are indeed "delusional parasitic assholes" as you described.

However, what you're showing here, just a few random selections, show what a disgusting bunch of people there are on the internet with no respect for their fellow human being, much less someone successful as yourself. I think I speak for all NIN fans when I say that your presence on Twitter and reading your updates has provided a fun, entertaining, enlightening, and even endearing method in which we can all connect with you and with each other. But after seeing remarks like those being made to you, I wouldn't blame you even if you decided to call it quits. Sure, having stalkers must be a hell of an annoyance, but to be presented with messages coming from some human garbage spewing nonsense about you or the woman you're engaged to is absolutely uncalled for.

I think the point I'm trying to make here is that you should do your utmost to ignore the outbursts and negative comments from despicable people who know nothing about you or your personal life. That's not what the true NIN fans are there for. It's like you said once:

"I was telling someone the other day that I was surprised at how respectful the Twitter community has been--but today it looks like a Ku Klux Klan rally...let's report these trolls and clean this up."

That's exactly how it needs to happen. Mr. Reznor, you are a talented, groundbreaking musician with a loyal fanbase that enjoys your work.

And some of the trolls are saying your music is irrelevant.
Wrong. What's irrelevant is the bullshit comments they post while hiding behind a computer monitor.

On a side note, I would like to thank you personally for giving NIN fans an opportunity to say goodbye and enjoy a last tour. Despite all the bitching some people have done about it, I personally consider it a privilege to see you and your band in a stage performance one last time.

Thank you for all you do for us, and I will see you in Charlotte, NC!
We all deeply appreciate you and the entire NIN camp.

More importantly, what the FUCK kind of username is Bellpepper?
