Honestly, I don'...Yes, this is too complicated. Honestly, I don't care about Trent anymore. I've spent so much time and energy on him and I think it's time to move on. His attitude recently has been kind of a letdown for me and I really don't feel like spending more time on him and his life. He doesn't know me, he's not gonna thank me for offering him support. I feel sorry for him cause I know he's going through stuff, but he should know how to handle trouble in an adult way already, the guy's 44, come on. Yes, his apology felt even worse than the original comment. Regardless of how I feel about him and his fiancee, I think he should take a look around before throwing such a hissy, cause while it's true that some people are crazy psychos, and some of the girls on MS are perfect examples of that, he's not exactly free of guilt here either. So yeah, that's it. Don't know if he's ever gonna come back, but from now on I'm just a fan of the music, whatever he does outside of NIN is completely irrelevant to me.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340565927138582286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446111086643696052.post-61131585776742001302009-06-14T17:08:10.931-05:002009-06-14T17:08:10.931-05:00Where's this new post?

Or is the ability to spew hateful crap at somebody all day long enshrined in some constitution ?

And they probably would not have even allowed him to be in that hospital if Trent hadn't raised almost a million dollars because God knows no one that sick can get insurance in this country.<br /><br />Life is complicated, Trent's a good guy.

I was pondering the whole situation today, and I thought, geez, does he really have to come down so hard on the Metal Sludge girls? Sure, some of them are terrible people, but isn't it kind of like shooting fish in a barrel for a rich, powerful, iconic rock star to take on these pathetic, delusional women who spend their time publicly fantasizing about rock stars? (not that that hits close to home or anything...ahem!)<br /><br />On the other hand, I wouldn't classify these women as "harmless" either. These are the jealous, racist, obsessed crazy stalker type. If they're anything like our Anonymi, they don't hesitate to call ME "fat" for not letting them have their way by posting all kinds of nasty bullshit about MQ.<br /><br />On the other, OTHER hand, does he really want to rile this sort of person up with personal attacks? And I'm sorry, but giving suicide tips is a) immature and b) irresponsible coming from someone who doesn't attract the most stable fanbase in the world.<br /><br />On the other, other, OTHER hand, what would I do differently? Could I handle reading that shit day after day? Read threats and insults against my S.O. and shrug it off? At what point would I snap and say, "DIE, EVIL CUNT, DIE!!!!!!"<br /><br />In the end, Trent's probably doing the wisest thing by taking a step back and close the window into his life. It's just sad that a lot of us non-crazies felt hurt by his response to the situation.<br /><br />To be honest, I'm more annoyed by his "clarification" than his original post. "Oh, I meant THAT ugly fat chick, not YOU..." I wish he'd just apologize for taking the low road with these people (who are NOT nice people) and sign off.maisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04684800303609403935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446111086643696052.post-17059456051084321592009-06-12T23:36:49.719-05:002009-06-12T23:36:49.719-05:00well, I think Trent risked getting such negative c...well, I think Trent risked getting such negative comments from people when he and MQ allowed them to take a look into their personal lives. Sure, some fans are nice and respectful, but others are nuts and feel entitled to voice whatever opinion they have of him because he's a public figure. IMO, he should have never let things get too personal. I can honestly say I don't care what he does with his girl in private, and found myself rolling my eyes at some of his tweets. I don't know, he's right about some of the things he says but overall, I don't think he should be such a drama queen about it. Oh, this from a person who felt sort of offended by his and her fat comments. No, I'm not fat, but as a woman, I found those remarks disrespectful and shallow.

WTC actually had humour though unlike MS which was insane. I don't understand why people have such a beef that you should be interested in the 'man behind the music' - after all we all gossip at work I'm sure, it doesn't mean i want to hunt anyone downIsabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393337932998653095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446111086643696052.post-34392669113401474182009-06-11T12:27:34.211-05:002009-06-11T12:27:34.211-05:00Although it is it mere coincidence that Trent apol...Although it is it mere coincidence that Trent apologized <i>after</i> Maise lit into him again.

We love new commenters. :)<br /><br />Maise, I think your desk would be considerably improved if you had a Tim Gunn bobble head.<br /><br />Regarding weight loss I can personally recommend for the Wii users the Wii Fit and EA Sports Active. I really like the yoga in Wii Fit and I've only had the EA Sports Active game for about a week or so but is kicking. my. ass. in a good way though.<br /><br />And Trent's apology? I don't know. I never really felt personally attacked because it was heavily implied that it was a dig at the MS girls but for those who were offended I think the apology might fall on deaf ears. Sure fire way to have a girl never talk to or listen to you again is to make a weight remark. <br /><br />Maise pointed out so many good things in this post that have come from Trent's online efforts over the past few years and it's such a shame that now he seems to be bouncing between temper blowups and damage control. And the damage control takes so much longer to permeate through the internets & mainstream media because everyone just wants to focus on the bad and "Ooh, Trent's being such an asshole! It's so uncalled for!" Ehh...whatever. He's human. I can't imagine what wading through all this shit is doing to his blood pressure.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261059003017549101noreply@blogger.com
