Cause its the media. Media have tendencies to sensationalize so people read/view it. Don't forget they get money for each click.

Edit - I think I caught the wrong end of the sick. You mean the actually posters? Well, it's the internet. I barely listen to stuff on sites other than the fan sites. Youtube, last.fm, etc. all full of people who just love to stir things up hiding on the internet. In other news, trololol.

Because they read Blabbermouth all day.  I would advise against it.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I wouldn't say they're cynical. Cynicism's way more nonchalant. People on Blabbermouth are just loud, thick and easily upset.

I read the posts for laughs.  I'm assuming most of it is intended to be funny.  They amuse each other with negativity.

They're not cynical. They're assholes. Big difference.

And let me tell you, that site plays them like a fine Stradivarius. From the out of context quotes used for headlines to the constant posting of stories of bands that always get a lot of comments, Blabbermouth has their followers by the nuts, and they don't even realize it.

I used to like the content at Blabbermouth, but these days I can't stand the place. Every damn article has to have the publicity shot of the band, and the image of their logo, regardless of what the news actually IS...which is kind of weird when the article is about a member of a band dying or something horrible happening to them. Terrible site, I actually go there for the train wreck quality anymore.

I suppose because there is no logic involved. Cynicism at least stays on topic.

That's an understatement. 90% of the posters there are complete assholes, I haven't been to that site in a long time and I don't regret it.

Just amazing.  DT should count their lucky stars that some of their fans are at this level of unconditional cult worship.
