Hey guys... I have a completely original political idea!
George W. Bush is the worst president of all time! Discuss!

As far as posting here to "clear our name" goes.
Take yourself out of your comfortable one-way glass of the world that is virtual and imagine someone was posting on a site that you were cheating on your girlfriend/boyfriend or that you raped their sister/brother. What do you do? Do you take the few minutes to post the facts or do you "play it cool" and ignore that it even happened? to us, it's simple, we take a few minutes to post the truth because it's easy and it's the truth.
As far as this whole spam, tooting our own horn bit goes...We walked into a post that was conveying a common message of disinformation about this year's Rumble. As bearers of the current information we posted our Rumble fact sheet page.
When you're D.I.Y you use every opportunity to tell folks about what you're up to. We like to do things thoroughly around here and do it ourselves. We do all our own promotion. We don't hire a publicity firm to make us look like the cool kids who just get "written about" all the time, we hit the boards and the streets and we're following a long tradition of bands who have done it before us. Grassroots organizing is not "un-cool". It's actually very awesome.
It might seem like the "cool thing" act like you don't care about anything but we're all about honesty over here. We are honestly excited to learn about the Rumble and the bands that are in it especially this year, because we are in it. The bands must be excited about it or they wouldn't have accepted the invitation from WBCN. That's we we created a comprehensive page for the event. Honesty is cool.
We're not looking for people to agree with our songs and our lifestyle at all, it's just still somehow surprise how low the bar is when it comes to bratty chatters. To the grown-ups here. Thanks for being real. We appreciate the warmth rather than the 3rd grade style catty chat board crap that only continues to separate us and prove how serious insecurities can muddle an issue.
word.

That's not very original.
And there's already a rs.n thread with lots of links.
