The previous post was not actually my opinion. I have my reasons for posting it. I just wanted to see how people would react to such a post. Even though it was randomly generated, it seems more relevant to reality than DDL's complaints. This entire topic is pretty funny. The truth is DDL has done more damage through misconceptions and the wasted time of everyone who has posted or even viewed this topic than through actual violent outbursts toward individuals and/or groups. There have been many threats, but very little has actually happened. It is important to remember that this is, just like any other thread, serious. Still, these threats must be taken with a grain of salt. Their outlandish raves about the destruction of the community are as improbable as they are ill-concieved. The simple fact is that no one can possibly destroy the community at such a physical level. The only way to destroy the community is to make the community unwilling to play and be friends with eachother any longer, which takes a greatly higher amount of effort than DDL can possibly muster. I find what they are basing their threats on funny. In fact, I seriously doubt that these are the actual reasons. Rather, they are probably coverups for some deeper and more complex sort of hate versus the community. Several members have casually mentioned their motives, none of which are because J2O is overused. They are individual and unfortunate reasons, but they aren't an excuse for what they are threatening. DDL can do damage. Any group can. But not as much as they want. What they really want is attention. And they certainally are getting plenty of it. Like schoolyard bullies, they aren't just attacking randomly - they are attacking because of personal reasons. They may not seem big, but they were big enough to turn them against the community. And that is what really saddens me about this situation. As benign as DDL is, it should be watched like any other Anti-Jazz group. However, you should not let them force you to live in terror. That's exactly what they want, and exactly what we shouldn't let them have.
