Well as long as I stirred the shit I might as well follow through with the
shit show.
From one user:
im getting oddness too, think someone may have deleted something?? but just
to stop conspiricy stories, i happen to still have it in another tab.
it was me, it was real,
I cant tell you if its still there, because he blocked me,
but go back to the 17 or 18/12/2017 and see if its still there.
his exact comment was along the line of "Gay men are cancer for kids"
i think, if i recall, it was all based on a case of an adopted child being
killed by the adopted parent ?
which descended into a new world order, trump love-in with a huge "all gay
men are paedophiles and murder kids" twist.
As a gay guy, i was quite open in arguing with him, he lost it, posted a
load of stuff on my personal page (we were FB friends), then deleted it all
and blocked me.
i shoudl add, i wasnt intending to shit stir either, its water under the
bridge, it was a comment on a FB friends post, which happened to be in this
group, about the new BlackDog album, which i made the comment on, in
passing.
its not like ive got some axe to grind as such
But, re:above, yes i can seperate artist from art,but when said artist has
attacked you personally online, and it becomes personal, that does tend to
colour your view. its not an abstract concept.
I -am - a huge fan of the early black dog stuff, I bought it all , BYTES
was my go to album for a good while, i loved that stuff, I still do,
nothings changed there
---
he deleted the lot.
it certainly isn't me that's posting it to the IDM list, but at the same
time, i'm not going to deny it happend, because it did
i dont have grabs etc because he deleted the personal stuff he posted on my
page (i woke up to a wodge of notifications of page posts) and blocked me.
I do have the message i sent, to someone who knows him, who i dont want to
involve in this, asking if they wanted to check on Ken, make sure he was
ok, was this out of character etc,
but i'm not about to share that and drag someone into year and a bit old
drama!
