Doomed to Obscurity Dummercon FAQ
-----
frequently asked questions about myself quitting DOOMED TO OBSCURITY e'zine
(well, isn't that pretentious)
-----
q : didn't you drop out of "the scene" completely?
a : i never actually quit "the scene" - just DTO
q : is it true that you quit because you were tired of getting bugged for
the latest issues?
a : althought constant nagging was a factor, this is certainly not the
reason i quit. that's simply ridiculous.
q : is it true you quit because of straight-edge jokes?
a : i actually quit because i felt that if my personal beliefs were going to
get in the way of how i ran the 'zine, than it was better off with me.
don't get me wrong - i wasn't simply ABANDONING DTO. i would NEVER, in
my right mind, do that for absolutely no good reason (althought i almost
once a few months back - but that's a whole other story). from the very
beginning, i've had nothing but the best intentions for DTO & i'm
positive that it will one day get the attention it more than
well-deserves. i came to this realize all of this only after mogel had,
on more than a few occasions, mocked me for being straight-edge. now,
don't misinterpret what i'm saying .. i'm not a whiner or anything, in
the slightest. the insults actually had little to no affect on me, i
just felt that i couldn't be an ACTIVE part of DTO if THAT'S how it was
going to be. i had repeatedly asked mogel to stop or keep it to
himself, but to no avail.
q : are you planning on re-joining DTO?
a : while i HAVE made peace with mogel, i currently have NO intentions of
joining DTO again.
q : are you ever going to write again?
a : while i'm still not sure of this, i currently have written about 10k
worth of a PEZ-esque project e'zine tent. entitled "i'm with stupid".
