Unbroken1 Mr C probably shouldn’t have used the C word, but “DJ Chloe Harris” does sound like an utter loon of a leftist:

"The altercation began on June 20 when Harris (aka Raica) accused West of being a racist. As Harris describes it, West wrote a Facebook post asking for more funding for the UK police. She replied, “Fuck the police” mainly in jest, but also with a degree of seriousness. “Then he said only uneducated people or wannabe bad boys say ‘fuck the police,’ which seemed like dog-whistle racism to me,” Harris says in an email interview. “So I told him so and said that the police are murdering racism scum and anyone who supports them is, too. Then he said he has a cousin in the police and I’m a stupid vile cunt, and it all kicked off from there.”

hugopal Thanks for the context. Yet another mentally retarded dj

I wouldn’t call her loony in the slightest. She holds valid opinions - many of which I agree upon and others I very much disagree with. I’ve had debates with her about my not being vegan (she and her family are) and animal rights/welfare where we are not in agreement, but I’ve kept it civil and withheld from name calling. I’ve also had it out with her regarding her views on ALL of the police, but again I didn’t resort to calling her names. I would still consider us quite good mates, but people should be able to disagree with each other respectfully and that’s what was lacking in that conversation. 😉

Chloe really is lovely and had a former career opening up for Diggers all over the place. I might be mistaken, but I believe she’s the only female DJ to have ever OPENED for Digweed at a Bedrock night. She was a true champion of the prog house sound for years and got sick of being treated like she had to be pretty all the time and behave a certain way because she was female - which is an accurate summation of women and they way they’re treated in the music industry even to this day.

I always thought Chloe came across as a decent person. Great DJ as well.

…as it happens I recall the spat, and the whole episode was pretty embarrassing, the degree to which it was specifically directed to her because she is a woman is perhaps questionable, (to be honest I thought the ‘fuck the police’ comment was unnecessarily flippant and provocative), but he did repeatedly call her a cunt, questioned her musical ability despite knowing nothing about her, and encouraged all of his followers to pile-on.

In short, he’s a bit of a prick who is probably not best poised to lecture other people on how to behave (despite his own unfortunate experiences).

Unbroken1 and encouraged all of his followers to pile-on.

Not condoning that either, but as a separate question what do you think he should have done when she tried to publicly create a smear campaign claiming he was “racist” despite there seeming to be no valid grounds for the accusation?

zackster

I still buy records off of her. She’s appears to have had an atrocious year, not that that matters. She’s easy to deal with and seems totally normal to me. I’m inclined to trust her take.

Okay, you believe how she portrayed what happened.

So then how can you claim she “seems totally normal” despite her proudly admitting to spouting trash like this :

“the police are murdering racism scum and anyone who supports them is, too”

zackster I still buy records off of her.

Zackster, you know the drill.

KLANG it up brother!

Unbroken1

…she was out of order (IMO), but his reaction was worse.

zackster

hugopal well, as you well know, that is a sentiment I whole heartedly agree with, so…

Unbroken1

…this isn’t really about her though Hugo is it?

hugopal

Unbroken1 ?

zackster

Smallman1 No disrespect to Chloe, but that’s hardly a klang.

Unbroken1

…read my previous post. His reaction was disproportionate irregardless of what was said, ergo, he’s a bit of a prick that shouldn’t be taking the moral high ground.

rhouses

Unbroken1 Sanctimonious cunt comes to mind when I think of him.

alistair

zackster the police in the UK are shall we say a little less aggressive. They don’t even carry guns unless they are anti terrorism. Pretty sure Mr C’s cousin would be British

Millsy

zackster

Millsy she was on GU and used to post mini mixes on progsounds

mono-stereo

Millsy

Mark and Chloe are now married with two (formerly three 🙁 ) kids living in Seattle.

Smallman1

IH was a copper.

I would have married her if she kitchen sinked it up and wasn’t.
