A letter in the recent issue of Vice magazine has targeted local Dls Spilt Milk and Celcius, accusing them of favouritism, conceit and pettiness. The author of the letter, who decided to we the pseudonym "Blackass," believes that the duo "go out of their way to hold back up-and-coming people who have much more talent than them."

Well, goodness.

Certainly, as the "pathetic" scene grows in our fair town and Dls become more common than leaves on trees, getting a break can be hard work. Name-calling only damages a scene that needs unity, respect and support. If you can't get in on somebody else's party, maybe you should consider doing one yourself. After all, that's what they did. So have many others. Targeting their efforts and wishing for "more articles on porno and sex" in the same breath succeeds in making you sound like a moron, as well.

Nobody is denying your right to express your feelings, Mr. Blackass. Then there's also the old saying, "If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all.”
