[kj] You are a thief

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Haha, good reply.  "Periodically elected Pope" made me smile... unless, omigod no, the horror, the horror!

Anyway, finding someone funny is of course a matter of opinion, ditto agreeing with them.  There's plenty here that has bored me rigid over the years (including some of the arguments with Pete) - possibly some of the things that you've found "interesting, informative, friendly and hysterically funny".  But I really don't get why people are so irritated by him.  If he bores you, block his posts; if he starts a debate that you don't want to participate in, skip the emails.

Pete's funny in much the same way that I am periodically elected Pope, and 'spot on' is a bit of a stretch too.
 
As for why people bother responding, I imagine it's probably frustration. His sole purpose here is to piss people off, and after a few years of this you start to wonder why he doesn't find someone else to annoy. Then there's the optimism- maybe one day he'll be interested in discussing, say, Killing Joke, for example. Followed inevitably by disappointment, naturally.
 
The chatter on the gathering is alternately interesting, informative, friendly and hysterically funny, none of which accurately describes Pete. It's got along quite well without a wind-up merchant; you can't blame people for wondering why it has to have one now.

Yes, and he's a wind-up merchant.  So what?

Pete, for fuck's sake.  You know me and you know I'm a diehard who will buy the 
lbum.  Been on this list forever...almost 20
ears.  I understand your point because someone could just kinda be surfing on 
he site and stumble onto it and dl it with no
ntention of buying it.  Not really my problem.  All I know is what I will do 
nd I will always support the Joke.  I was just happy
o have found it to hear it (which, in my opinion, is brillant!) and I will be 
uying it when its released which I believe every
ember on this list will be doing.
   Missed ya, Peter!

I don't get it.  Why does anyone take Pete seriously?  Or even bother replying 
o any of his trollish rants?
