It was me that posted the message about wanting the new albums - I don't know the guy that responded that well, only from music via FB so can't vouch for the likelihood of authenticity unfortunately.

Subject: Re: ken downie of the black dog -- homophobic rant?
Once again I'm kicking myself for not screenshotting it, someone had posted
a message about getting the two new black dog albums today in World's
Greatest Electronic Music Albums group iirc
and on it a guy was saying "oh gee, i don't know, ken downie recently went
off on a huge rant on facebook about homosexual men being pedophiles and a
bunch of his pals jumped on the band wagon"
now of course that FB post is deleted, there's nothing on the Black Dog
group, and i'm not a facebook friend with Ken Downie
i just sort of freaked out when i saw that because maybe i'm a little too
personally invested in the black dog and it would really break my heart so,
i just wanted to hear right away that it's all bullshit
