Our side of the story runs like this...

As you all know, DJ Tot Kuhjunge was summarily fired by Shadow Gallery this weekend.  This was done while he was on vacation, via email and with no explanation given by Frank. Just a hey, thanks for all the money, now get out.

This is just the kind of nonsense that makes me nuts.

It's not the firing.  Hell, Frank started that night.  Kurt has always accepted his authority as the founder behind it.  Frank has the right, this being America, to work with whom he chooses.  I'm down with that.

What makes me sick, literally ill, is the pansy ass way of handling it.  If certain parties of my now past acquaintance can be clearly said to have had far more CLASS, then that should stand as admonishment enough. What it is not, at least by my definition, is adult.

The email of recent controversy stated in the very clear terms for which I am well known my pure disapproval, my distaste and my disappointment in Frank's actions, and in Suzanne's inaction (Suzanne.  I really liked you, what the hell, girl?  I'd a thought you were better than THIS.).  I would LIKE to put a boot up Frank's ass.  I don't get to do that, more's the pity, since we live in a civilized society.  I won't lie.  If we had one day a year when the law didn't apply, the slap-in-the-mouth festival I would have would only be less epic that the crew of people chasing me with pitchforks while I was about it.

I also made it very clear that sniping on livejournal is not my style and I would be giving them a piece of my mind when I saw them.  Some may need the internet to embolden them.  I do not. I am more than willing to shout at somebody when they behave like bastards.  If there was a little more of that, this city would be a much better place to live in.

Shadow Gallery can do what it likes and behave in any manner it chooses.  I'm far too busy to fill the joint with silly foam or some such.  But Corrosion will not be working with them or aiding them or including them in any future projects.  There are ALOT of future projects coming down the pipe, that I'm sure they would have enjoyed.  Too bad.

New Orleans, listen to me.  The foolish, cowardly, back-biting ways that have become the modus operandi of this scene are hurting us all.  It makes all of us look like children to the rest of the country.  Economic times are tough, and we're trying to live, desperately trying to live, in a hurricane devastated city.  Get off the internet.  Support each other.  Treat people like god damned human beings.  And for GOD'S SAKE have a little perspective.

That's all I have to say about all THAT.

Oh yeah, cept come to Corrosion.  We got free stuff this week.
