You know Oats, the people who dismiss problems as being insignificant and overblown by those complaining because they're not interested can do as much damage as the people causing the problem in the first place. If people have a genuine grievance it's really quite patronising to compare them to a childrens film.

Lets face it most of the more lighthearted phrases and stuff on the guide.. I'd never ever heard used on this forum, and if then no more than once, but I assumed it was Patrick Wolf section-centric.
AND "happy mind vomit" wasn't there.
DOWN WITH THE GUIDE
(I jest I jest)

i can't edit it anyway i would put happy mind vomit in there if i could. i can edit the one i've got linked but not the stickied one. eta: and yes, most of the stuff in there is a joke because i was bored and putting stuff in the 'dictionary' but anyone can reply to the editable one to discuss additions of whatever they want to see in there.

Still I would support a petition, or even a boycott of Patrick's records and concert until an acknowledgment of his fans feelings on this/an apology is forthcoming. Are you serious? That's nonsense.

You're quite welcome And I agree with Jónáthán. Even though that's probably a little hypercritical of me to say now..

I think people who are tired of discussing this should simply, not discuss it. Despite that fact this debate has been so lengthy, the threads in which it's being discussed are extremely easy to avoid for anyone who wants to. But, oh no you want to get the satisfactions of coming over all "mature" and therefore somehow qualified to tell others what it is and is not appropriate for them to discuss (!?)
Also the term "boycott" my seem extreme and emotive but in the dictionary sense "voting with your feet" is the prerogative of a switched on consumer, Patrick is a commercial artist. I bought Lycanthropy, I bought WITW and TMP in their weeks of release. I did not buy The Bachelor. I illegally downloaded it, mainly because I didn't feel comfortable financially supporting Patrick with some of my moral misgivings over his conduct. I hope some other fans will follow suit after this, especially considering this is the same dedicated fanbase he came at with his begging bowl with the whole 'bandstocks" thing. I fear the only way Patrick is going to get the message is if his conduct comes back and hits him where it hurts, ie his career and his wallet.

But, oh no you want to get the satisfactions of coming over all "mature" and therefore somehow qualified to tell others what it is and is not appropriate for them to discuss (!?) I agree with this. Just ignore/don't post if you don't want to discuss, and leave it open for others do to so. Yeah it's lengthy, quite frankly I too think it's been beaten to death by now, but ya know, let 'em keep talkin' if they want and you don't have to read new posts or reply if you are sick of it. Still I would support a petition, or even a boycott of Patrick's records and concert until an acknowledgment of his fans feelings on this/an apology is forthcoming. Are you serious? That's nonsense. I wouldn't say that's "nonsense". Obviously you wouldn't boycott, and neither would I, I am choosing to still support Patrick as a musician, but it's completely understandable why someone else, like Josh, wouldn't want to continue supporting him. It's a matter of personal reaction and choice, and the choices going both ways are understandable, I don't think we need to freak out at others if they choose not to support Patrick. However I would say that NOT composing a collaborative petition/letter would probably be a good idea. That just seems a bit too forceful on him - while I'd like it if he read fan reactions on this message board, that is up to him to do for himself if he wishes too, I just don't think we should force it on him.

Thank you for posting that.
I'm glad that he apologized, even though I wasn't hating on him for what happened.
Lets all move on, hold hands and skip into the sunset.
