[kj] Fwd: The Killing Joke **IMPORTANT INFORMATION**

True that. I am still hopeful a decent cause will be outed soon. 
But - but - what's really bothersome and damn near-offesive is how they don't 
even face the people about the issue/s. It's that seemingly 
dismissive, "nothing's happened" attitude that makes their enviable independent, 
"fuck'em" streak and a half-decent sense of self-absorption look like just a 
plain ol' "fuck you" streak and the band swallowing - *erm* "absorbing" - its 
head up its own ass - again.

As someone else said, we should probably wait to hear what the actual cause of 
all this is (if they deign to grace us with that information), but regardless -- 
it's just fucking unprofessional.
