Who is "WE"? Sounds like something Penny Rimbaud would say half way through a bottle of wine. He's 65. Spackboy aren't you a bit young to be making tired old generalisations like this?

Andy Capper said:Hey this thread is great for publicity.
This one goes out to all those crying about the Nick Kilroy article...
Were you friends with Nick?
Nick was a friend and actually volunteered to write that piece for Vice. When he died we asked the people closest to him for permission to run the picture and the article. They consensus was: "yes, that's what Nick would have wanted."
So, in what way did you find it "sickening"? You think we shouldn't have mentioned he'd just died?
Pretended he was still alive and OK? Ignored the fact that a contributor and a friend had died of an OD?
You don't think that article will make people think twice about going down the same road as Nick?
Let me know your thoughts cwybabies.

Im from the UK however live in Montreal, and putting out my first issue of

john eden said:Are Vice to blame for your near-autistic level of monomania on Dissensus, max?
