is not like other people
Speaking for myself I was told about it by @bunnyhausen in 2003, signed up and have been here ever since. How about you? What led you to waste so much of your life in the company of a load of needy idiots?
Endless wrangling over whether certain posts endorse domestic abuse or anti-Semitism.genuinely can't remember, it was probably a reference on a blog somewhere. i read it without writing anything every now and then over the years on an irregular basis. and now i am one of the participants that will be studied millenia from now when dissensus will be treated like the qur'an and hadith. scholars will argue over the meaning of my pronouncements.
The truth comes out... I created the monster that is Mr Tea by discussing this place IRL. Loose links sink ships I guess.For me, I think Rich said something along the lines of "There are these guys on this forum who are incredibly knowledgeable about music and are into loads of other cool stuff too, but you would not believe how pretentious some of them are."
But in reality, it's quite likely that the 9/11 terror attacks, the subsequent disastrous US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the general tailspin the world's been in for the last two decades, are consequences of Rich spending all his time when he was supposed to be working playing squash and fucking about on Dissensus? I mean, that's sort of the unavoidable conclusion here, isn't it?back in the 1990s, there was a borders book store on the ground floor of one of the World Trade Center towers. it had a huge magazine section, and I used to camp out there a few times a month and read back issues of the NME and Melody Maker because I was too cheap to buy them.
not saying the towers got attacked because borders was poorly run, there was probably more to it than that.
ETA: On Oct 12, 2004, which I think was the first day.

It was VERY badly run though. And that was before my steadying hand on the tiller, l dread to think how it was back then.Not saying the towers got attacked because borders was poorly run, there was probably more to it than that.
