It means a lot to me that you would say these things. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I already have left wikipedia it would seem. Perhaps this is just a temporary lull, but I get on less and less and I care less and less when I realize wikipedia is no longer based in truth. When you get things like NWOAHM where that one user is obviosuly making the article as a protologism and is using wikipedia to make a fake term real (which is expressly against rules) it just kinda makes me flip. And then I disconnect. So I may come back, and I will still probably make some very small edits from time to time (most likely under an IP address) but, right now, wikipedia and some of its users have pissed me off and disappointed me so much that I cannot handle it. Thank you again for your nice comments, though. I really appreciate it. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 17:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
NWOAHM edit
Sorry Darrell, I haven't heard of most of those bands or listened to some of the others. I'm a thrash/death metal kind of guy, and I really don't care much for a lot of the "'core" bands. Although CC and Exhorder are on my "to do list" of music to listen to. Remember, please, that also, Carcass may be one one of the most influential death metal bands, what with "Heartwork" creating melodic death, as well as "Necroticism", their finest hour, being a death metal landmark. Let's not forget Napalm Death and Bolthrower as well. Very good early death metal and grindcore bands from the late eihties and continuing to this day (except Carcass -barring tours). All three from England. Anyway, I'm not lecturing you, but I already know of a lot of the trends emerging in metal in America since the eighties, groove and 'core being the biggest, since the nineties, in my fallable opinion. But I don't think they compare with the (especially) thrash metal and death metal of the eighties, which continues to influence artists today. Anyway, always good to see another metal editor who knows his stuff (more than me, I should think).JackorKnave (talk) 00:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
History edit
I agree with you, Darrel. But the "NWOAHM" that Lykantrop is pushing on everybody else with his horribly inaccurate article is basically just metalcore bands. Well, wther you vote for deletion or not, I hope I can count on you to voice your opinion when the article is put up for deletion. Thanks again. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
