Sam is SockMonkey, right? I have a funny feeling ...
SockMonkey definitely spends his evenings and weekends on here, so I would expect he made an account and the "brought to my attention" part makes me suspicious.
It's brash to say that no-one has legitimate conversations on ATRL, I engage in plenty of good discussions on all aspects of pop here, which is why I love it.
And also, I get a kick out of the deliberate troll threads, some of y'all have a wicked sense of humour
I was permanently banned on Popjustice recently for posting a 'racist' comment, but I'm glad ATRL can be my main pop music forum now. I'm hated there anyway by some pressed, self-loathing folks, and I'm more at peace with the fun-loving people of ATRL. Cheers!
