People on this website trying to give themselves status by claiming to know important people (or people who they think we should think are important) or have had scandalous private information told to them by people who are in the know annoy me and make me laugh in equal measure. I'm thinking of Oh My with his "I've exchanged letters with a successful and influential writer from England but I can't reveal who that writer is", nerak with her "ach, a journalist I know who writes for the Guardian told me [blah blah blah]" (bitch, you've written over 7,000 posts on this website in under a year, you don't know anybody), and UncleThinSkin with his "somebody with information on the subject told me that Mike Joyce and Morrissey were in a romantic relationship together in the '80s, I can't say who that person is, but just trust me on this". If you're going to make claims on a website like this and won't name names then the statement you're making is worthless. I could make something up right now and say "I know someone who knows someone who knows Morrissey and they told me that he hasn't left the house since his mother died and they're worried about him" but unless I'm going to provide names so the statement can be verified it's pointless. At least, I suppose, ThinSkin's real name is known so he's putting his own reputation on the line by making claims (to the extent that he has any kind of positive reputation any more which isn't outweighed by the fact that he has turned himself into a huge laughingstock in the eyes of many people here and likely in his personal life as well), but for people like Oh My and nerak who are essentially anonymous I can't fathom the need to attain status among strangers. We already know Skinny is an attention seeking narcissist from his forays into television, but at least he's getting the attention he sorely craves unlike the nameless people nobody gives a shit about making claims that can't be substantiated. Mostly forgotten poster 'G23' did the same thing here a couple of years ago and I picked his lengthy post apart point by point and exposed his obvious lies and he never posted here again. At least he had the self-awareness and semblance of dignity to leave when he knew he had been found out which is more than can be said for some people.
P.S. When Trump was in hospital with covid somebody on Twitter made the point that a number of prominent liberals had been wishing him well, but if he's the fascist they claim he is and they're so terrified by what he's doing why would they wish him well? Would they wish Mussolini well? It goes to show they don't fully believe in some of what they're saying but it serves a political purpose so they say it anyway. With that in mind I'd ask Skinny if Morrissey is the virulent racist you claim he is whom you've been railing against on this website for years: you certainly wouldn't sit at your computer refreshing the TicketMaster page every ten seconds so you could buy front row Smiths tickets next week if it was suddenly announced that they were reforming for a couple of concerts, would you?
But don't worry, they're not reforming, it's hypothetical. I don't know somebody who knows somebody who told me it's definitely happening or anything
