Corgan’s camp has threatened Netphoria with lawsuits at least three times. He hasn’t had a hit in more than 15 years.

You can go fuck yourself.

Way to stand up, Billy.

If I recall correctly, there was an interview where he said that the last time he voted was in 1992.

You keyboard warriors forget that Billy is a fellow human. I'd take the worst of Billy then the lot of you. Some of your remarks have been cruel and border on a passive aggressive or overt sociopatic streak.
Some of the putrid hate you have is downright scary. The human heart can be a wicked place and some of you are proof.
Billy made some of the greatest records of all time. None of you have.
Billy has ventured into many things. Have some of you ventured out of your own thick skin?
The SP camp does have gracious and cool people...but Netphoria is poison. Reading some of the bile here...it completely and resolutely makes me wonder why any of you linger under this spectral umbrella of the Pumpkins, as none of you are fans at heart.
You may hate or loathe what Billy creates now, but a genuine fan of the band would never spill such hate and malice, like many of you.
The true fans are those who recognize how to cherish the past while accepting the future and present, even if it isn't a standard many of us would agree upon.
It's doubtful this post will make a difference. To me though, it does.
You hateful posters make me embarrassed to know that we've listened to the same records. Apparently, the great messages and vulnerability of Billy's early music has had no effect. You are like gremlins, no longer pure.
In closing, your forums are terrible and worthless. Netphoria is pointless and those who post here know that other refuges for genuine fans exist via Facebook.
Farewell and good night.

“overt sociopathic streak”

“putrid hate”

“the human heart can be a wicked place”

“spectral umbrella”

“hate and malice”

“like gremlins, no longer pure”

Maybe it's Billy.

What kind of lawsuits -beside for having shown links to leaked songs...?

Right?? Those word choices are awkwardly Billy.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

no way

[whywontyoulistn]

"Icky" isn't really a word I can imagine Billy using. Maybe it's Strawbs.

Oh yes those Facebook groups for tr00 fans where you get thrown out if you have any shred of candid opinion on BC are wonderful. One of us one of us one of us

Don't make someone a life peer, what is just a pee of sad machines.

Places online where real criticism and negativity are allowed are an endangered species. Everyone should see the failure in that. If everything is "amazing," nothing is.

Places like the Sad Macines Facebook group only have an authority on the nature of discussion within their own group, not anywhere else. If you don't like it there, you can come here, or to any number of general music forums. Or you're free to make your own website or Facebook page. Sad Machines can't stop you.

Conversely, the people that have been getting more frequently banned from here for being bigoted wastes of oxygen can fuck off to 4chan.

He reaches a whole new level of assholeness. What kind of upbringing fucked this dude up this badly? Fuck.

lol go fuck yourself

[reprise85]

man i sure love going places that have customs i don't understand and shitting everywhere while being the decency police

i agree with people not needing to be mean to billy and believe it or not we do censor some things. people have a right to their opinions and this is one of the only places they can express dislike without being banned. of course that breeds even more contempt. corgan himself has also been an extreme dick to people online, but i'm sure you think what he did to devi ever is completely fine.

My criticism of Billy especially this year has been solely based on business negotiations/decisions.

One thing I give Netphoria credit for is that I am not censored on here. A post like the one you made wouldn't be allowed on other boards. I am not allowed to post on Smashing Pumpkins fan groups on Facebook. Regarding the Shiny and Oh So Bright tour, I've seen a lot of differing opinions on here since it started.

I read Alt Nation and mostly like what you do. Nothing against you.

cqn I bqn people ?

[Zer0 Hour]

I had to look up the Devi Ever story because I wasn't familiar. Corgan really is a fucking pig.

This comment I found on the article was gold:

Is that a picture of Clint Howard with a guitar?

Netphoria is an extremely insignificant blip on the internet map... a niche site for a niche set of fans of a now niche band. Why then do you feel threatened by such a small contingent?

Billy has stated he no longer reads negative online opinions about himself or his music because it's counter-productive and not worth his time. So why do you?
