    She has actually been deleting stuff from the GMB, as far as I know, which is probably what that activity indicates!

    What about someone like DrFrisby? Anybody know if he could be up to this?


    Nah, not his style, anyway he loved Supernature and once agreed Goldfrapp albums were getting better and better after Supernature was released! lol I remember stuff.

  • ^ Yep, I'd agree with folklore about (not being) Frisby. Someone said the post/edit times (indicative of time zone?) showed they were probably US based. Not sure about that. What did he/she say about "over the pond"?

    Anyway, I've not got any more time to play detective... I have a Sigur Ros gig to get to! :)

    You people, honestly, it's like iuventus said, there has been a lot more ugliness on here that didn't come from Mirror.... I have been trying to somehow turn this thread around into a more constructive discussion, but I guess it's preaching to the deaf.



    Why not start a new thread, then, Lisa, that does not start with an extremely offensive post towards the Artist that most people are here to appreciate (cherish, in my instance)?  This thread was poisoned from the very first post.  What makes me ill is that new people that come to this site to celdebrate an awesome band may very well read that first post as the first read on this site!  That's crazy.  Considered opinions, as yours seem to be, Lisa, are fine.  Vituperative vitriol is not.  If you are directing any of that suggested ugliness at any of my comments, go back and read that first post one more time.  I sure hope something kills this thread and it is replaced with one that is not vicious from the very first post.

    By the way, I flagged that first post.  Maybe that will make the moderator take a look at it.  Would you go into someone's home and trash who they are, their lifestyle, and work?  To me, that is exactly what this stie is, their online home. That is exactly what was done with that first post.  I assume that the cracked reflector's later post were similar, except for the nonsensical drivel otherwise posted by it.

    I swore i wouldn't come back but I really had to flag that vicious, completely out-of-linie, first post.

    And, let me just repeat the first comment, in case anyone has a short attention span: Why not start a new thread?

  • I agree, I don't think threads should be closed or modded unless they're spam and this one is not!

  • Haha, if you don't guess , then you don't win.
    The bits that I put are based solely on my perceptions from Mirrors posts, I've reread them with a different context in mind, that the person would justify anything they say by using "Mirror" as a persona or stage character if you like . If I'm wrong, then I'm.wrong , I have no vanity over my opinion or perceptions.
    I don't really care who it is, my post is more for amusement than anything, as "Mirror" posts without humour the thread has no interest to me, I won't debate personal.criticism let alone even acknowledge it as up for discussion on a forum where words appear so easily out of context and meaning .

    I recall a story of a wise man being shown his place in the universe, his infinitesimal smallness against infinity and he is driven insane, a barbarian is shown the same view, he replies "so what? " .....and that is my feeling to this thread , to every single one of Mirrors comments
    "Read my posts and see why we`re not allowed nice things anymore"

  • If I was a mod I wouldn't shut the thread down., as you note Lisa, rereading them you see lines that are there . I came up with Corvina as I recalled her strongly protesting against having to write things as opinion and not as misrepresented facts in invisi text as usual haha

  • Mirror said:

    And why does everyone respond so negative to Mirror's comments?






    With all due respect, but if you were to pull your head out of your ass even for a second, then maybe you could see that a lot of members have actually taken the time to very politely answer some of the questions you have brought up in this thread. The real reason there is no proper conversation going on though, is because you always reply to other people with insults, disrespect and whatnot.

    Like just yesterday I tried to say something about Alison's voice and how it has changed (as did few other members also), but still at the end of the day your comeback to us was "Look in the Mirror, and see how ugly you are". Seriously?

    I don't think you are stupid, I think you knew exactly what you were doing when you started this thread. You merely wanted to evoke negative reactions in fans, so that you could then slip into this little victim mode of yours. And now you're using it as a pathetic excuse to say what the fuck you want to everyone else.

    It might have been funny in the beginning, but currently you have really started to cross some lines with your rudeness. Please, knock it off already....

    I looked back at some of Mirror's posts, and actually, he/she seems very careful in not crossing the lines, therefore closing the thread would mean being really against freedom of speech.



    Are we even reading the same thread here?  :-/
  • Mirror is not Corvina: strike 2, Sartori.
    One cannot talk about electronic music without mentioning Kraftwerk, though.
    Between 1974-1977 they were of utmost importance to the genre, and effectively created it.
    They defined the sounds and the images which would come to dominate the genre for many years to come.
    Even Ms Goldfrapp seems of fan of them, Mirror knows she went to see them during their Tate Modern residency.

    As for Mirror's comments on the singer's appearance... well, Kraftwerk did sum that up pretty well:


    In order for Mirror to feel "victimized", it should have thoughts of its own.
    However, Mirror just reflects how you project your own feelings onto things.
    And when most people respond negatively, it merely asks: why so negative?
