I don't care if you respond or not. It's not an attempt to stop a fight,
that I "lost." It's an attempt to show just how stupid your little copyright

Oh, so I _finally_ got through that shell of yours eh? Hit too close to

Your publically available "facts" aren't facts. They're things you believe
but have yet to conclusively prove. In fact most of them are just opinions
(such as the Vamps music thing).

No, I don't see a bunch of people attacking me -- just three assholes: You,
David, and Mark.

Rule zero of reality: Nathan Mates isn't always right. Get used to it.

Such a very good question...what _are_ the facts Nathan?
