dearest strutters,I see a lot o' drama going on and here's what I think/propose:1. Raj owns this website and he is the HNIC, no one argues that. He has veto power on anything and anyone BUT what really makes Soulstrut what it is is its members. People that contribute mixes, reviews, and of course regular posters makes this place what it is. People like FauxRillz, Guzzo, AP, Bambouche, Ms. Damn, EdPowers, Alien Iverson and yes, even Archaic, are the heart of this place. I don't want to see you guys hurt, upset, annoyed or banned. I do what moderating I can and if RAJ needs me to do more I'd be glad to. But I enjoy seeing conversations go where they may and I only step in if naked people are posted or someone says something REALLY fucked up.2. NRR posts also make Soulstrut the lovely and hilarious place is it. Hell, these days, I'm only really checking for these posts, they are often entertaining as hell.3. I think Archaic should be unbanned if he was indeed banned. I think RAJ already admited that he made a bit of a knee-jerk reaction and if it's okay with everyone I think Archaic should come back. And theMack too, if he was banned. I don't know what's going on with RAJ and Mack, but Mack has quite a following here and people are going to miss his teenage perspective on the rap game.4. I don't want any of you fools getting all pissed off and jumping ship. Real headz know the deal and real headz stick together.love,Annaps. sorry if this is late, I tried to post yesterday but my shit was down

Well said.
Well put, Anna.
PS Hi.
I'm sayin'. And who's Magic Jackson? Looks like another passive-aggresive alias.
this place is like a long slow trainwreck.
If you have something to say about my mixing, then say that shit to my face.
LOL.
Great points Anna.
sorry, I meant Head Ninja In Charge.
Peaceful Ro, you can't leave, you are the illy ill!
But I do think that any jumping on/ calling out of Raj is totally not allowed. I don't care if he's having a bad day and tells you your momma's fat (which he wouldn't). 1. Dude just had a baby and it really taxes your sanity. 2 Dude has always spent his own time and money keeping this place going. I think some people may actaully believe he some how makes money off this place and that's sooo untrue.
More than anything....the disconnected internet allows people to go off on others all the time and it's not just at Soulstrut. Hell I've done it in my own place of work to people that are 50 feet away. But the real awnser is self control. So we have to try to rise above. Life sucks, so let's help each other enjoy it as best as possible. And if you just have to get grumpy once and a while, try not to make it personal and get over it within a couple days. Extended beef it so 1995.
I love the NRR threads. It's good for people to talk about other stuff and I really can't talk records all day long.
DOUBLE ZING!
shit is NOT cool!
That's funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This picture is getting to me. Sorry it just bugs the shit out of me.
