Hell

Very good reception, but the album left me... Perplexed. Maybe because it’s different from "Focus," and I let myself be too influenced. The songwriting is excellent, but in my opinion, it's missing something... I don't know, in any case, I'm not giving it a vote. Let it be clear that it definitely wouldn’t go below a 4.

And here I am again. First of all, thank you all and welcome back. I will be absent for a while longer; my presence here is and will be more limited due to some issues. In any case, I take advantage of this temporary return to wish you a Merry Christmas in the (likely) event that we don't catch up for quite some time and to leave a few comments here and there for the reviews. Greetings to everyone and thank you again. Happy holidays!

True?

(Today I'm in a bad mood, don't mind the tone of the comment)

Alright Ole, but it doesn’t seem to me like I’ve spent whole days investigating this stuff. I've been keeping an eye on the situation. You know those Sunday afternoons when you’ve got nothing to do, not even your girl around to keep you company, and you’re just vegetating at the computer? Well, one fine day I thought to myself: “now I want to see who this jerk is, even if it takes me three hours.” So I compared the comments of two users, that’s it. There's a son of a bitch who has insulted me and my family with impunity (not to mention bothering half of DeBaser, not just me!) and I have the right to know who the hell he is, if no one else is taking the trouble to find out.

The user ElectricOne disappeared from circulation on May 23, 2008. ConteDeSade vanished around the same time (after being a pain in the ass for a full month). Then, silence from both for months. ElectricOne returned on September 9, 2008, after months of silence, amidst the reviews of “Death Magnetic” that were then rampant. ConteDeSade returned the same day and began posting his insults immediately after ElectricOne, particularly on my review of "Solar Soul," where a big argument erupted. A little detail: during that argument, "ConteDeSade" was only praising ElectricOne (…). After that, there was still silence from both for a couple of months. In recent days, ElectricOne resurfaced with a couple of his reviews, and... Poof! Here comes ConteDeSade back, more venomous than ever. I don’t know if three times can still be considered mere coincidence. I’ve noticed quite a bit of continuity between the comments of the two users, as well as an incredible “symmetry” of language: the first, elegant, “proactive,” well-mannered, respectable, never once addressing anyone rudely. The second, conceited, rude, vulgar, slimy, venomous, and his comments were full of expletives. The first, by the way, appreciated calm users like mementomori, francescobus, tepes, and others. The Conte often reappeared after ElectricOne praised their reviews, ruining their average with scores like 2 or 1. One praised, the other insulted, particularly much-appreciated users. But here we are still talking about the April-May period, especially since the aforementioned users hardly reviewed anymore and because in any case ElectricOne left along with his supposed dark alter ego until September. The Conte also started insulting users who had never caused problems: Terry, Fjelltronen, Icnarf, Dr Adder, Uhuhpanicouhuh, and even me – I don't think I did anything serious on this site. You can also notice the very brief chronological gap separating the comments from the two users: just a few minutes, as seen in my review of “Solar Soul” and many others that I won't mention. However, I seem to remember that in a comment on a review of “Death Magnetic,” ElectricOne addressed Bartleboom saying: “Hey, ConteDeSade says hello!” But what could that possibly mean? But above all, why has ElectricOne suddenly disappeared into thin air since Icnarf accused him of being the Conte? ...Well, there’s another thing I’d like to say, but I’ll keep that to myself because another user is involved, and it doesn’t seem fair to drag them into this for no reason. I've said more or less what I thought, and honestly, whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I’m done here.

No Ole, don’t turn to him because it’s not his fault. It’s mine, and it’s only my fault (?) that this whole mess has erupted. Why? Because I was the one who spread the word about this alleged coincidence between ElectricOne and ConteDeSade. Well, so far I’ve acted like a damn provocateur and troublemaker, but now I’ll say what I think; if what I say is utter nonsense, I don’t care, I was planning to leave DeBaser anyway, so why not. Now let’s move on to the “facts,” even though there is no CONCRETE and UNDENIABLE evidence, because the only possible evidence would be the IP addresses which, unfortunately/fortunately, cannot be retrieved for reasons that do not interest me. I rely on what I believe. So you all saw how unpleasant the presence of this “ConteDeSade” was, undoubtedly a fake, and one of the most annoying ones. Now, suspicion arose when this fake visited my review of "Solar Soul" by Samael, insulting me in every possible way (calling me “vainglorious bumpkin” over and over). The argument lasted a while before dissolving into nothingness... In the meantime, I received a personal message from a reliable user (whose name I won’t reveal for fairness) giving me small hints about who was behind the nickname ConteDeSade. I brushed it off because I had no clue what to think. Then one day, while looking at a comment from ElectricOne on one of my reviews (which I would call “haughty”), a doubt crept in and I checked a few things:

What did you say? But I am General Badoglio! What's this nonsense? Hell?? And who is that?? Soldier, these delusions are not allowed in the trenches!!

Here you go

This is the very first case of split personality (likely unconscious) that I see online! A bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde... Oh Franci, be careful because ElectricOne hates us, you know! Clearly, we weren't "propositive" enough.
