"Set to drain." It is you who are the vampires of the world. And the way I see it, you are exactly the sort of bullies The Pumpkins had originally united to protect us from.

This has nothing to do with you liking or not liking my playing. It has everything to do with who you are as Pumpkin fans and human beings. I'm leaving not because I cannot withstand different opinions, but because your opinions are clearly tainted with an innate bias to hurt. And that I don't tolerate, either to me or to others.

Goodbye and remember, "There's a love that God puts in your heart."

I just looked over the thread and there's more positive than negative reaction.
