Once I found out the label was holding him responsible for the leak, I promptly wrote him and let him know that AP doesn't use writers who leak records, so I would not need his services."<BR/><BR/>If this were a non-issue, as you claim at the end of your post, and you had already decided both to pass on the leaker's services and that ignoring him was the best way to make this known to him, then "promptly" writing him about the incident was an unnecessary, dickheaded thing to do. <BR/><BR/>You sir, are an internet bully. I hope it was just as satisfying for you as it was for the linebacker when he beat the piss out of you for dressing weird in high school. Then again, things have changed in punk rock this past decade. Maybe you WERE the linebacker.<BR/><BR/>In summation: Thursday has always sucked.<BR/><BR/>P.S. For the record, I don't know the leaker and agree that his writing isn't all that great. My opinions have nothing to do with him.Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13812273332009609194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357977515487656117.post-53816510318081257162008-09-25T04:58:00.000-04:002008-09-25T04:58:00.000-04:00there's somethin i don't like about heiselRyanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03893954512493687623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357977515487656117.post-26289342083717259622008-09-25T02:00:00.000-04:002008-09-25T02:00:00.000-04:00if it was actually a "non-issue", would you have said a thing?

I've went on the defensive for you, hundreds of times now, because I'm pretty sure you didn't so shit.<BR/><BR/>Outside of that man, the only umbridge I take is that you gave my name on VC, and Ben took that down. Thats all, man.<BR/><BR/>It's ridiculous that people blame you for my actions. I apologize, earnestly for that. You did nothing to deserve all this recent outcry, Scott.<BR/><BR/>But thats where this needs to end. <BR/><BR/>It's my fault, not yours.

Not your concern. You're not an employee, you're not liable through punknews anymore. I know your nose is already up the ass of whatever flash-in-the-pan scene band is this week (paging Bring Me the Hairspray, As I Lay Dying in a Poisoned Well While Ashes Swirl On Thursday Darkest Hour) - no reason to put their brown stick in Fat Mike's patootie, too.Matt Ramonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15917325259608545902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357977515487656117.post-52362264300382755972008-09-24T16:55:00.000-04:002008-09-24T16:55:00.000-04:00Well, since I was unaware that you were, well, aware of it, I did the same thing. Emailed Fat and called several of the head Racket peeps to decide on a game plan. As I had no idea you were involved, the decision to fire Aaron came from me and me alone.

They don't all need to be positive; in fact, I prefer them to be of differing opinions just to showcase your range. Email them to me at heisel [at] altpress [dot] com and if I like your writing, I'll be in touch.<BR/><BR/>Same goes for anyone else reading this.Scott Heiselhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03165166537073584631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357977515487656117.post-21536415837404611722008-09-16T23:23:00.000-04:002008-09-16T23:23:00.000-04:00i pick team scottcloiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07042165366662855003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357977515487656117.post-90022787562282258492008-09-16T22:31:00.000-04:002008-09-16T22:31:00.000-04:00i just went and read his posts on you and the situation.
