It appears that Trent Reznor is upset with Web 2.o. His decision to leave the internets comes about due to a combination of Twitter, and Metal Sludge. In his own words:
Looks like the Metal Sludge contingency has discover Twitter! Finally! For those of you that don’t know what this is, please let me explain. Metal Sludge is the home of the absolutely worst people I’ve ever come across. It’s populated mainly by unattractive plump females who publicly fantasize about having sex with guys in bands. Kind of like a role-playing game where people NOBODY will fuck make up stories about their incredible sexual encounters with people they WISH they could fuck. It would be kind of funny in a sad and pathetic way except the fun doesn’t stop there – hate and good old-fashioned outright blatant racism are also encouraged to spice things up and remind you how truly ugly these scourges are. TRULY ugly on the inside (the outside is obvious).
In the end of his post, he states that he was going to make a website where you had to go through real verification, like with background checks and employment verification, so that you knew exactly who you were talking to. He then states that he has pressing business in the Real World™ and will be leaving the internets. I’m guessing that as soon as he has finished sorting his eyeliner, he’ll be back…
