To me, DCXX is by far the best "webzine" ever created because it emcompasses many things that are important to me, and that's amazing because those are things I can't exactly find on any other website. <BR/><BR/>I only write comments when I really feel like I have to, and I have to say that I don't quite understand why people come here to start talking crap or insulting people.<BR/><BR/>Why such a torture? What's enjoyable about reading a website made by someone you don't give a care about, just to have something to swear at? It's like if straight edge kids would start going on "wine tasting" forums and telling everyone that they are completely stupid for liking the taste of wine. I just don't understand the motivation behind such actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-22841988240034830202009-02-15T12:23:00.000-05:002009-02-15T12:23:00.000-05:00I listened to some of the discography while drivin...I listened to some of the discography while driving to pick up breakfast for my wife and I.

It's a way of keeping everyone at equal status, even if it means criticizing people who are just working hard at promoting their own band/zine/blog/label/show, and don't deserve the criticism. <BR/><BR/>I was accused of being a "shameless self-promoter" by a clerk in my local punk record store. Why? Because I flyered for my own band's shows - because who else was going to do it. So I suppose he was right: I was a self-promoter (some people call it D.I.Y. ethics), and I felt no shame, because I was working at building something I cared about.<BR/><BR/>If you try to do anything in this world, and especially this scene, there will be endless shit talking. My friend who has been an independent filmmaker for the last 20+ years, has always gotten tons of shit thrown at him, and it doesn't even come close to bothering him. He says, "You wake up everyday, and you just do your thing. You work."<BR/><BR/>Ben Merlis<BR/><BR/>P.S. I've talked to Tim and hung out with him on several occasions, and he is the FURTHEST thing from egotistical you can imagine. He's quite the opposite actually - shy and reserved. I'm not just blowing smoke either.
