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

Could this be you Peter? See...I don't know. It's anonymous.
To whomever it is - Hate on, baby. You're words mean nothing to me. Really. Especially if you can't even provide a user name. One that is recognized and not just signed up. I know you've been here long enough if you can make such a comment about my blog. Which is about me...yes...it's MY blog.
OK - go ahead and post a range of these alleged stories that you are thinking of. For example, something like, "in this range from May to June 2011 there were 40 posts and 35 of them had nothing to do with Morrissey and were about ex-Smiths". If you can't provide actual evidence, I'm just going to say it doesn't exist and you are talking out of your ass. You should be able to easily find all articles posted in the article archive.
I don't agree that this evidence of a 'rude' quotes is a fair representation of Uncleskinny's posts as a whole. Most are not and he is actually one of the top contributors to the site and Morrissey community in general, in addition to being a moderator on the site. Taking a look at the context, many of the quotes were in response to the anonymous troll behind the MorrisseysWorld Blog who has been persistently posting negativity towards the site here and on their blog. If Uncleskinny or other users wants to blow off some steam on occasion it's perfectly acceptable, but to characterize these posts as representative of all posts in general is just plain wrong.

The site is a pretty tight focus in subject matter so there will be times there isn't much news. So maybe an article about an ex-Smith is highlighted and seems more important when in a busy time it would just be a side note. If you really think the focus of this site is on the ex-Smiths and not Morrissey's current output as a whole I think you are deluded.
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.
When there isn't a tour, you don't have a lot to post about - understandably - that's when you post endless stories about the other Smiths...which is fine. It's your site. Post as you please. But, you know when you post things that are questionable - like when you posted that article about Morrissey not paying his staff ages ago (which is why Morrissey despises this site, by the way) that's when things get dirty. I'm not talking out of my ass, David, and you know it.
Perhaps you should amend your initial statement to say "I agree with Morrissey that the site isn't about him, but only when he's not on tour or in the news". You still didn't provide actual evidence of a stretch of time when a majority of articles were about ex-Smiths.
I also did not post anything about Morrissey being the person responsible for not paying his staff, only a question about a rumor that the staff had not been paid. As I mentioned earlier, at the time I thought it was something to do with the tour manager as previously there were similar issues. But go ahead and spin this issue your way, even though it is 10 years old.
No...you know what - I pointed out to you that Morrissey had said this. End of.
I'm not spinning anything my way - YOU POSTED IT. IT WAS QUESTIONABLE AND IT'S LEAD TO THE DOWNFALL OF THIS SITE AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MORRISSEY. It's upsetting. I have been here a long time. A time when Morrissey actually liked this site, and it's upsetting that's it come to all of this.
I have nothing more to say.

Can I start calling you smiler now?
Can I start calling you smiler now?
You're good. Have you considered a career as a detective?
P.
You see? I was right all along...abusive, hateful, sarcastic, and arrogant. You know I'm not Smiler. Perfect example of how absurd you can be.
Where did I say you were Smiler? You've lost any last scintilla of credibility by actually making stuff up now. Just give up and go and have a cuppa or something. And would you care to point out aout what was it about that very short post that was (a) abusive, (b) hateful, (c) sarcastic and (d) arrogant? You are genuinely making stuff up. I've just had a beer, and I'm feeling good, so you can have the last word here.
P.
Ok...I'm sorry. I figured you were agreeing with that idiot vivahate that he was correct in assuming I am smiler. I am not Smiler. I wrote that in haste, and I am sorry for that.
I didn't make anything up...
I mean this in all sincerity: haven't you got anything better to do with your life?
Can I start calling you smiler now?
As of right now, this moment...I definitely could find something else to do. And should. As a whole, though, absolutely. I don't spend nearly as much time on here as a lot of these posters do. But I have some downtime today so I thought I'd answer questions that had been pushed my way from comments last night. Only to get bullied...go figure.
