Hey, I’m a 43 year old bisexual grandmother and for some reason ICP just cracks me up. So you don’t HAVE to be a prepubescent, homophobic moron to like them, although I have very little doubt that it helps… De gustibus non disputandem est and shit–and liking a band’s music does not automatically enable a person to accurately pigeonhole another. After all, if it were so easy I’d just have to open fire at a Garth Brooks concert to get rid of people _I_ don’t like! So by all means, flame away at ringmeat for his stupidy ranting, but tar not all of us ICP listeners with the same poop smeared brush, thanks ever so… 😉 ---

We are calling him immature 'cause of his behavior in this thread and in his e-mails. ---

I’m not a Howard Stern watcher (really, I’m not), but watching Sharon rip them some new ones made me laugh my ass off. Many months later, when I first saw promos for “The Osbournes,” I knew I would love it. Oh, and **Ender** –that’s a masterful pit thread if ever I saw one. ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** How many of you have received harassing e-mail from **ringmaster**? And if any of you still have it, would you be so kind as to forward it to me with the headers intact. We’re considering initiating a little dialogue with his ISP; I need some data to send them. Thanks. ---

ringworm, you make me want to delete the ICP songs I have on Kazaa and forget they ever existed. But I won’t, because I know it is not their fault morons like you exist. ---

I even noticed “Location: The Dark Carnival” in the OP’s profile and thought “I’ll bet he changed it just to make this thread so it looked more convincing.” :wally ---

Insane Clown Posse? Juggaloes? Dark Carnival? Just what in the name of Duane Allman is going on 'round these parts. Ferchrisakes, I just figured out what the hell Emo was the other day. I can’t keep up with all this new fangled, fancy-schmancy Rock-n-Rap-Emo-Nutzy-Mime-Troupe-Whatchamacallit stuff you kids are listening to these days. I guess all just go slap some wax on the ol’ phograph. King Crimson take me away. ---
