A couple of quotes caught my eye:
"I read nothing online."
"I have never once relied on a promotional campaign."

" ... hateful online creche ... " - ? If I wanted to be unpleasant to Morrissey , I'd talk about spotting the projection ( but I don't, so I won't).
But love the talk about being able " ...financially , to avoid seeing people ... " & , hence , being less disgusted with people...
To mention "projection" is simply deluded self-justification. This IS a "hateful online creche" and if you can't see that, then there's something very wrong indeed. The fact that DavidT obviously thinks it's something amusing to boast about (by appending the quote to the site name) is truly pathetic and only confirms that this sorry site exists as a vendetta rather than a celebration. How sad it must be to put in all this work over so many years and to find himself in a situation where his idol despises him and his website, to the extent of having him ejected from concerts. Yet still he persists... how very dignified.

So now we're bastard children mental patients? I'm trying to f***ing help him.

In Morrissey's utterly deluded mind the crap, unmusical, f***wittedness that is People Are The Same Everywhere really is up there with the sublime genius of I Know It's Over, This Charming Man and Everyday is Like Sunday.
That this is the only place on the worldwide internet to point out how idiotic and foolish this opinion is, is the reason why he can't stand us.
Unfortunately for Morrissey, the major record companies and the wider music industry, agree with us rather than him.
I would suggest to Morrissey that since he understandably hates this site so much that, in future, he should just not mention it at all. It only pleases David because he's advertising the site every time he makes any kind of comment at all about it. He should, instead, make a positive comment about TTY so that the public - if any who aren't aware of so-low - will go there before treading over here.
I wouldn't say I was pleased. It would please me if he made an intelligent / constructive criticism or a good suggestion for change on the site. Instead I just see some well-worded insults with no real substance to work off of. As far as supporting TTY, yes he can keep doing that but I think even he knows that site is playing checkers when we are playing chess here.
Really? It's taken you this long to come to the conclusion that he's a douche?
Chess? It's more like Battleship.
I think he would rather you get rid of the anonymous feature - he's mentioned that before. He's also alluded to the site covering stories about the other Smiths - I don't think he likes that (we've talked about that before, you and I), and insults? Come on, David. There are insults a'plenty here, and they're very damaging to the soul. There are hardly ever any well written constructive criticism posted here concerning his music. Only that he's washed up and lost any talent he's ever possessed. Which is NOT true. Some of us actually do like the new songs.
Are you serious? Are you seriously suggesting that the the site only cover Morrissey stories because of the site name? And as for insults - boo hoo. Do you know how many online and indeed real-life situations we have had to deal with? It's not a one-way street you know. And opinions are just that - opinions, no matter how they are worded. But hey, you keep wearing those blinkers, because you seem to be missing all the 'well written constructive criticism' of which there is lots, but since it doesn't fit your argument, why mention it?
P.
Why do you have to be such an ass?
I was talking about how Morrissey had said the site isn't about him - that it covers the other Smiths and stories that has nothing to do with him. So, yeah...I mean, it is MORRISSEY-SOLO. David and I talked about this not too long ago and I think he posted a link to that story. He said if Morrissey would make suggestions - and he has, but not directly to David. I was just pointing that out. But, you didn't see that. It was a good chance for you to come out fighting, and that's exactly what you did.
Why do you have to be such an ass? I don't have blinkers on and I haven't missed some of the constructive criticisms. I did say, "There are HARDLY EVER..." meaning = some, but not many. Maybe if you'd read and think before you come stumbling out to David's rescue like a bull in a china shop, you wouldn't come off as such an arrogant jerk!
Whatever. I'm quite aware of online situations, and I've dealt with a lot of personal real life events that you wouldn't even have a clue how to handle. So, yeah, why bother?
God, you're a hateful man, Peter.
