I've experienced this myself when I made a post here about my exposure on radio 1, which just attracted abusive comments and accusations of egoism from people who didn't even listen to the show. As a further example, the admin of this site has even accused me of lying about my record deal, which just goes to show how deep the attitude problem goes.
Apparently, it's ok to promote yourself here as long as you are already well known or part of the in crowd doing the "in" thing.
I've always been of the opinion, and still am, that the north east stinks, and it's bad attitudes of the sort exhibited on this site which give credence to the observation.

You would have had a point had you not been the most negative person on here.

MDP are on a bit of a break a tthe moment... contacting the tunnels, or kef directly could be a good idea, as they both put on inhouse nights

If you're foolish enough to take posts from "anonymous" "randoms" seriously you must have a reality problem
