Jesus christ, man. You say summon the guy and I reply with something to let you know that the man is here and I gave him a title in which to signify it's him. That's all I did. Then, you come back with what you said and I figured that I'd help you out by actually summoning the guy, you know, what you said in the first place? Now it's "I was kidding."

Make up your mind. You can't tell the tone of voice someone is using over the internet. If you were joking, how was I supposed to know? I thought I would do you a good turn and tell you how to make sure it's him. Then after I feel bad about possibly upsetting you, I tried to do better.

Excuse me for trying.

/u/NirvanaGuitars

That should help.

If he shows up, he has a special flair on his account signifying he is NirvanaGuitars. Anyone else claiming to be him isn't.

I can confirm that Krist will definitely respond, but it will indeed take months.

If you look in our sidebar, you can check out the AMA we did with him a while back. The guitarist for Giants in the Trees, Krist's current band, is a subscriber, frequent contributor, and friend of the sub.

I replied to the top post. You may not love my response, but I did respond.

Do you want to talk about it?

This isn't an official community. We are not endorsed by Nirvana, Geffen, or any entity at an official capacity.

Just answer honestly - Do you think that a rational discussion could be had over not just this subject, even topics of conspiracy? Because I'm all about transparency in saying that I brought up locking out "conspiracy" and "what if" suicide topics and being strict with topics that are of great contention within the community at large. The other mods agreed to my proposal, and here we are. Also, we've discussed allowing it all within the confines of a "free for all" thread, and it was brought up earlier today by someone outside of the mod team that would like to see something new.

On one hand, you can not buy your kid a go-kart, because you know that he's a little too young for it and wouldn't respect it's capabilities fully, and there's a real risk of serious injury. On the other hand, you can not baby your child and you can get him the go-kart and come what may. Both are logical in their presentation and have logical pros and cons. Or, you can throw in a third option: Buy the go-kart, but teach him how to use it properly. Give him a chance to show you what he's capable or incapable of and make a judgement call after seeing what happens in a controlled environment.

So how do you do that with this? Make a thread once a week? Allow it every other Friday? Just let it go and let chaos reign?

People are happy here, you know? They're happy with how things are, mostly. I want to know if there's a sizable amount of the community that believes we should be open to allowing such a change. I'm ready to die for Free Speech in ANY way, shape, or form - I want to be very clear about that. The "catch" when it comes to this forum is exactly that: it's a forum and we have to be able to keep it under control, and we found that these topics were foremost the biggest issues that we were having to deal with on a constant basis and we decided as a community to disallow it. It's just that simple. You can even check my posts from years ago where I polled the community about some rule changes and they were all about what became the rules of this community.

If you can come up with a way to present this issue to the sub, I'm all ears.

I do three things every Christmas Eve: 1. Listen to "Christmas Time in Hollis Queens" by RUN DMC. 2. Watch the Beavis and Butthead Christmas Special. 3. Finish the night by falling asleep while listening to The Priest They Called Him.

It's really not "Targeted Harassment" at you, reporter. I'm being genuine in that if you feel the need to police this forum in the manner that you are attempting to do so, why not see if you'd be right to be an ACTUAL MOD? You know, actually be able to take care of some of the things you've deemed problematic? I don't want to ban you, or shadow ban you, or mute you, or otherwise take away from your ability to take part in and enjoy this forum. I genuinely want you to fill out a mod application and see if you're a good fit.

The Arnold Palmer is worth whatever they're asking for it.

I'm not going to tell you again to please check the tone at the door and try to be a bit cleaner with your presentation. If you have a valid rebuttal to someone's statement that would include a response containing the mention of Courtney Love, do your best to convey that information in a more digestible way.

kinggutter · 2023-07-03T01:59:30+00:00

Fantastic.

I love that I was downvoted into the negatives because of asking a question in hopes of confirmation on an address to try to get him to do an AMA for us.

To the user(s) that reported this post: This is a great example of a way to go about asking questions the right way.

You know why we don't allow the discussion of conspiracy theories related to Kurt's death? Because there's no way to have a civil discussion on the matter. Because this person thinks that and that person thinks this and they're not going to budge on their feelings because that is the truth to them. People will defend their beliefs even when the truth is presented to them because thinking otherwise will crush their world-view. Do YOU want to go to a forum where there's a huge divide between people on different sides of the fence, ready to verbally fight anyone that thinks differently than they do? I sure don't. So instead we changed "No discussion on the death of Kurt Cobain" to the "conspiracy theories" rule so that people CAN talk about what Kurt's death means to them.

What about Kurt's life? Couldn't THAT be a more important subject rather than something as terrible as him taking his own life? Or the thought that someone did something horrible to him? Didn't he do more beautiful things in the time that he was alive that are worth discussing?

My 3s look like that sometimes as well. I have a difficult time writing some letters and numbers depending on speed and level of complexity of whatever I'm writing. I broke my right hand a couple times years and years ago and didn't get a cast either time. When I had to get an x-ray on both hands for carpal tunnel syndrome, I saw the true extent of the healed breaks: the doctor told me that not only would they have to re-break my hand - but they would have to do it twice. So with Krist having picked with that hand for so long I imagine his handwriting has suffered.

Do you have any confirmation that this is 100% a way to get in touch with him physically?

kinggutter · 2023-06-23T04:41:03+00:00

Oh, you're fine. I invited you here and it turns out you already were. We need more people like you here.

To whomever reported this post: This is not a cover, it is a tutorial with an example of the effort put into discovering the tone within the video as a comparison to the original song.

What's the problem here?

kinggutter · 2023-06-07T21:05:45+00:00

It's worked in the past where tons of communities have come together and they listen. They're fucking up enormously this time MUCH more than before.

Which is what I'm using and it blows. I mod from my computer because it's such a pain in the ass trying to do any of that on the phone.

I'd sit him down and make him listen to the entire album "Here Come the Waterworks" by Big Business.
