Take the high road then, Jess. Phi has taken it all in stride and remained positive and friendly throughout, without turning into a trolling war. The latter only perpetuates the problem.

Actually it drew the problem to the attention of the powers that be, which was more or less what I set out to do.
Is there actually a problem? How is this any different that some of the KOL stuff from 2010 except for the fact that there is a respected member of the community defending the act.

Did someone make a thread to seriously discuss KOL in 2010 because they were a fan, only to have it threadbomded into oblivion by haters? If so I missed it, because I would have said the exact same thing then.

It's slightly different because there was a "skrillex hate thread" and Phi asked nicely that everyone please keep their hate/ridicule/jokes in that thread as he wanted this thread to be mainly skrillex discussion. It didn't work.

I really don't mean to perpetuate this argument, but the main problem with what you're saying is that back before we knew Skrillex was playing, we had a thread with a very similar wish. Phi did not respect that wish at all, so (in theory, I'm done trolling this thread) why should we respect his? From the moment he started whining about keeping the haters out, all I could think about were his endless "Skrillybear" .gifs. You can't spend months trolling a thread but then, when there's benefit to you, offer a truce. Not how it works, unfortunately.
This thread has devolved to amoeba-level brain function.
This.
This thread isn't going to be much people, just me, Phi and anyone else legitimately interested in seeing Skrillex, talking about what kind of stage set up he'll have and whether or not anyone will do live vocals, etc. Just leave us be. I'm kind of enjoying emoney's pics, I'd love to see him actually keep it up 'til 'Roo.

Fair enough. You see, while I may post in many threads that doesn't mean I've seen every single thread that's on here. I was aware that there was a "No Skrillex/blahblah/blahblah electronic" thread but had only popped in there once or twice months ago (i'm not a huge electronic fan).
I was not aware that Phi was trolling that thread and being annoying. Had someone reported it or PM'd me then I would have possibly intervened.
All I know was that Phi requested the skrillex hate be kept to a "Hate" thread. It's not a rule or anything....just something of a request. People decided to say "screw that" and keep posting the hate in here. For the most part it has died down except for a few select members who are now doing it not to voice their dislike of an artist but more to annoy Phi.
Personally, I just don't post much in threads for artists I dislike/hate. I just avoid it because why should I tell someone else that something they're excited for sucks?
I just request that if you want to talk about disliking Skrillex actually talk about it. Contribute to the discussion a bit more and give some insight. That's what these boards are for.
Dearest board members, you are off to a good start with this thread. It has all the right chemistry to make for one fantastic troll-fest. If you want to take your game to the next level, please take note on how the fail-masters roll over at the Coachella boards.

It wasn't anything report-worthy, but then again I don't feel like anything in this thread is report-worthy either. I guess some people just take their internets more seriously than others.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.

My $0.02 I'm a Skrillex fan. I support Phi. But I also find at least some of the Skrillex jokes funny. I dislike emoney greatly, but have to admit his Skrillex pictures are amusing and often funny. I don't mind people arguing about Skrillex and making jokes. The most annoying part of this thread right now is talking about this thread (which I realize I'm doing now, sorry) and deciding who's right and who's wrong.
Skrillex is a polarizing figure, with most of the posters on this board in the negative spectrum. What can you do? Let the kids play. But please let's turn the subject back to Skrillex and quit bitchin about who is or is not trolling.
Posting funny pictures of Skrillex is fine. Posting a "Skrillex of the Day" photo in a VERY obvious trolling way is obnoxious and like Druid said getting old. emoney knows exactly what he's doing. he's posting all "emo" photos of Skrillex. he's just STILL butthurt months later over the fact that i posted a "DO NOT WANT" photo in his beloved "Entrance Band" thread.
I'm hard.

Take this advice, everyone. And I agreed that by and large Phi has handled the Skrillex hatred like a champ.
