Opinion on Dark Hel?
It's a complicated thing. On one hand, I respect what she has done for the community, on the other hand... I think she should do (and should have done) better.
Her page was probably the first place I went to read about Pelle after I bought my first laptop in 2007. I think she has done a great job... in the beginning.
She put a lot of Pelle information, photos, interviews, letters, in one, accessible place.
She found some truly rare stuff as well.
I will forever be grateful to her because of this.
But now comes "but".
I think she has lost interest in Pelle years ago. I think she should move on instead of clinging to the page she obviously doesn't have passion for anymore. She is into Quorthon and I don't understand why she doesn't make Quorthon page and leaves Pelle's to rest in peace.
I also hate how she always believed anyone who ever approached her with some bs story about Pelle on her FB page and a lot of those rumors, misconceptions and lies have spread from her page because she never truly moderated it. Along with believing everyone, she never blocked people or removed their hateful / damaging comments.
She spent a lot of time hating on Øystein and when she finally realised he isn't as bad as she thought he was, she never bothered to delete her old posts where she spread wrong info about him or badmouthed him.
Her assumption that Øystein posed with Pelle's corpse (the infamous black and white pic where Øystein sticks his tongue out), still stands proudly on her old blog, and has quite possibly inspired Ezra in her crusade against Øystein and the subsequent article that she wrote. Not to mention that 99% people who think it's post mortem picture have seen it on Dark Hel's blog.
Dark hel has left Ezra to basically advertise her shitty theories and article on her FB page for two damn years while I fought bloody wars to mend the damage and havoc Ezra was causing. Ezra was free to do as she liked on her page.
Dark hel has ultimately managed to damage the community she once helped to build.
That's why I have problem with Dark Hel.
