I think the reason why people want Trent to be the unbalanced, confused and sick human being he was in the 90's is because they saw something they identified with in themselves. When it became apparent he was healing, those same people no longer identified because apparently they want to continue feeling like shit and hurting everyone around them.

QFT!

Why did you tweet her anyway? Why do you follow trolls? It's not better to follow trolls than to be one.

Maybe Lily had her own personal reasons from Fred's blog and certainly beyond to simply respond to AUF's tweets pointing out incnsistencies / bollocks etc.
All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men /women to do nothing.

Well, I don't really want to argue with you. I just don't see how it helps to fight constantly with trolls. It just adds fuel to the fire. The evil triumphed anyway in this case, because psychos of that kind just know how to get attention: they want to feel important and people give them what they want. That's just my opinion, though, and you don't have to agree.

I do agree with you about trolls generally, and I have never trolled on twitter personally, I just made some comments on that Fred Garretts blog and Lily defended me so I just feel a personal responsiblity to defend her in this whole thing!

There are good trolls and there are bad trolls in my opinion. Some trolling is funny. Its actually hilarious sometimes. Alot of trolls are actually pretty self-deprecating. Which, in my opinion, is endearing on some level. People do need to marginalize the meaning of trolling. To some, trolling can be an artful form of improvisational humor. Trolling is a dumbed-down stereotypical name placed on a certain series of behaviors and its really not an accurate depiction of an individual. The person who thought up the name "Troll" was more than likely a person that was fucked with or had their feelings hurt on the internet. There are mentally dysfunctional people in all walks of life. And again, clinical mental instability is a lot different than just some quirky eccentricities. Some people are just douche bags, as non-clinical as that sounds. Most of the time though those people's behavior can be changed if they really realize the damage they were doing to other people's thought processes. Its important to be aware of your own eccentricities and to at least make some kind of effort to keep them in check (in whatever way that works for you). Personally, I like to masturbate and eat key-Lime pie, but otherwise I pretty much just am forced to deal with really bad anxiety attacks. There is no medication that works for me and i live alone. So its easy for me to over-think things and experience anxiety attacks. So even though if you are a person who feels like they are in constant torment, i have zero pity for you if you take it out on others. I refuse to take my own personal bullshit out on other people in society for no apparent reason other than just because Im suffering. I fucking hate people who do that. If someone is going to fuck with you there should be a damned-good reason why and they should be honest about that reason.

So try not to be hurtful. If for nothing else but to contribute to mankind and natural selection. There are enough violent dumbass rednecks procreating in my country, without further contributing to the problem. Sometimes I wonder if natural selection is even working anymore. All the smart people for some reason realize its not a good idea to have 8 children, but it seems the morons of the world keep pounding them out out like a mini-retarded baby assembly line. I fuckin hate Sarah Palin...... Now there's a bitch that deserves Trolling.


The term "troll" is derogatory in itself, which indeed makes it trolling in nature to even call someone a troll. Especially when they are not one, but Merely perceived to be such. Being a troll and being a Sociopath asshole are entirely 2 different things.



I kinda hate people recently.... but at least now I have legitimate reasons why. And Im not just projecting some bullshit that catches innocent people in the crossfire.

Man I've been out of the loop and thank god, man. Haven't been on this site since January.

I've never twittered, and have never seen the point in getting random updates on people's life.

I consider myself to be a pretty serious fan, but a fan of Nine Inch Nails' music-only. Why would you want Trent to be this brooding, sulking, Mr. Self Destruct. His music has been bomb since he's got himself together. Every time I wonder how he could out-do the last album, you get something billiant. On a human level, I wouldn't wish unhappiness on anyone. Find joy, passion and sense of purpose. I'm looking for it. Get married, who cares, be happy. Ingnore the nuts in cyberspace.

Why would you hate on that? Why would you hate on Veronica, someone seriously working on reforming our healthcare system? It's still more than the rest of us are doing.

We all are going a bit crazy with the internet. Even non-famous people are letting too much of our lives become available to the public. I've deleted a lot of old crap about me. Friends putting up pictures of you, posting sotries about you on facebook, twittering about you. It's ridiculous.

Trent, stay away from twitter, we don't need to know your every move. Thank you for trying to interface with your fans but your life is your own, enjoy it-without interference from strangers.

i havent checked andrea cunts twitter for a few weeks and she is still rambling about TR? i mean wtf. get a fucking dildo or a bf you stupid bitch, she is gonna go on forever with this shit. i dont even think the trolls care enough to troll her anymore because they have lives to attend to unlike her apparently.

Is she? that is sad, when even Fred Garrett realises he's backed a load of losers, shouldn't alarm bells sound? Holiday my arse

Just when you thought Twitter wasn't that much fun anymore.

nineinchnailsMissed out on tickets to the NYC Wave Goodbye shows? Stay tuned...

Too bad I'm not going to the NY show.

I really was tempted to go to the Chicago show, but I've already had the experience of a lifetime meeting nin & being backstage.

As long as Rob is still twittering then I'll be on twitter.

I'm just annoyed i missed the whole twitter thing. It would have been better if someone had archived Trents updates somewhere so you could still read them at a later date. It's a real shame he got so pissed off with the trolls that he had to leave.

Funny you should say that: [nin.nympholept.com]

You can thank nympholept for it. I have no idea how he did it because I don't speak the geek language!

whoa! you just made my night. Lots for me to catch up with. Thanks guys! I'm rubbish at smileys so please imagine a "not worthy" smiley @ nympholept.

btw I read some of the andrea stuff - whoever that is is more than just deluded:

I wonder if a #NIN bio was written now if I would be mentioned as "one person" or "the one that got under Trent Reznor`s skin"..#musicmonday

yeah reminds me of the time when I was stalked/ harassed off a well-known public movie forum 2 years ago by a psycho to the point where me and a few other like-minded souls founded our own private forum which i still help moderate. It seems as soon as you enter the public arena someone's always there to spoil it. *sigh*
