this whole issue is just symptomatic of the general dubsetpforum idiocy that had me give up posting there. someone mentioned it upthread - general non-critical love for every tune/producer/night, and artists responding personally to anything vaguely critical. all a bit undignified.
I've enjoyed reading all independent music blogs since I discovered them (relatively recent), have discovered SO much new music and musical history from them (and on here - thanks btw) and am always in awe of the time/effort/love that goes into producing such high quality output. gutter in particular was a one-man bristol (and wider) dubstep publicity machine, and skream, luke envoy et al need to show some love/appreciation for what he and others do for their and their music's coverage (respect to paul rose for his position, btw).
would be interested to hear what blackdown thinks on this - I know Hell_sd is a bit long on this point, but in this case, where the artists BD's quite involved with have been so public with their views, I'd like to hear what BD, as a fellow blogger, thinks about it all.
