		<description>hey zorbon...

"The most a hacker can do is disable the site, maybe re-write its code. So whatâ€¦ Mark has no use of itâ€¦"

..isn't that exactly what i recommended, douchebag?  i figure a disabled site and domain is far better than the band being misrepresented and mark earning bus fare from his amazon revenues.

oh.. and mark being a businessman?  uh yeah, he's a regular donald trump or whatever equivalent you have over in kuwait.  now go make the price of oil increase more so you can hurt blind melon even more... at the pump!</description>

		<description>Mark, is everything is money for you? this whole site smells dollars and cents, i wish it could be dollars and sense. 

Blind Melon were a bunch of guys who worked a lot to make their own music and to share with their fans, now the band is over since their singer died but they still sell cds so what if they want to manage www.blindmelon.com? 
if that so unbelievable?

ahmed asked "so now what are you going to do with the site?", I'm also wondering this now! 
You fought for a site about a band you hate and what are u gonna do with it? like you said before ... nothing
so why do you keep it? i just see two main reasons:
1/ you so hate the band and the fans that you want to make em crazy by keeping it
2/ you just want the amazon vouchers you get  there (200 us$ a quarter like u said it before)

money and hate, is that it?

oh no! i remember: you want to keep it cause i remind you all the good times you had back when you made this site and all the good friends you made on this guestboard you closed 2years ago to prevent ppl from chatting again (officialy because of a big security hole mean people could use to attack us). Bullshit! 

We seem pathetic now you have won, you and Nat probably think we should have a life or go play somewhere else but let me tell you, i have a life, i'm just sad... like hundreds of ppl because of you.</description>

		<description>Matt, grow up...
Rogers Stevens, I personally think posting on here is a very mature and considerate email.  If you have seen my posts earlier, you'll know I know little of you guys.  But, you have to admit, this whole thing was very lame from your side.  there are sooo many cases out there of giant corportations (and I know that's not u) trying to kill websites under the umbrella of hoggin the name for profit (Look at Nissan.com)...  You were trying to get your website in order to relive your glory, and make some dough out of it.  I am sure things could have been settled.  Mark is a businessman with a domain that he's owned for a while (without the intention of squatting)...He has ALL the right to do whatever he choses with this domain.

And hey, Flash Flood, your post shows how much of an internet idiot you are.  The most a hacker can do is disable the site, maybe re-write its code.  So what... Mark has no use of it...  So go play somewhere else will ya.</description>

		<description>Mark,
Dude, I've been around the block with you a few times myself before, back when I had more time on my hands.  Fighting with people on your website's messageboard, critiquing other fansites like a sullen schoolmarm, and whoring out blindmelon.com as a portal for amazon media sales and nothing more.  If you feel like a hero, well that's great.. especially throwing Rogers and company under the bus for visiting the messageboard to post upcoming Extra Virgin and such.  No doubt you're probably be seeking some press on this supposed victory right now.  Maybe some newsies will pick it up and provide you with some additional amazon clicks from the site and get you a few dollars in your pocket, you savvy businessman, you.  

Sad thing is.. if you haven't gotten the message by now, you're not going to.  But, trust me, it's pathetic behavior.  Especially as you revel in holding on to a domain name of a band you hate as your pals slap you on the ass for pulling off this dick move.  

So, what next?  My hope is that the hackers start working on pounding the shit out your site and never stop.  The domain won't do too well when the site is down half the time.  Good luck to whoever takes the cue.  And for you, Mark.. may you continue to live an empty life without soul or dignity.</description>

		<description>Wow, guys, what's with the insults coming back and forth.
As for Rogers' perspective, I can understand where he stands completely. I also think that maybe if lawyers were in charge of the communication between Marc and the band, they might've used some intimidating tactics. 

Despite all this, I choose to believe what Mr. Stevens is saying. In retrospective the only thing that came out of this is that some guy posted on a webpage saying that they "beat" the band. Man, if I ever had a domain name and the band asked for it, I wouldn't think twice before giving it to them. As a fan it would be an honor to do so.

Blind Melon's gone through a lot. I want to thank them all for the beautiful music they created.

Much Love,

Ed Toscani</description>
