"Act as the in crowd do or suffer and be slated for it" is the message I get from what I'm reading elsewhere.

Oh yeah, I learned that a long time ago.

Like Barb, I find when I listen to his music these days how I feel about certain fans affects it.

Man i've been busy lately but i seem to have missed something again! LOL Since it's coming from the Positivity Brigade Board i am not surprised at the bits i am gleaning. Some people on that board don't seem to consider their day well spent if they haven't belittled or berated someone over something tedious and unimportant.

*whistles about unofficial moderators* [img]wink.gif[/img]

Are people scrapping about the same old, same old or is there something new and interesting this time?

*huggles for Barb* makes me glad i'm not a fc member, the stuff you guys talk about!

And sadly... *sigh* I am feeling very uncomfortable here [img]frown.gif[/img] I'm sorry to say this but what used to be a cheerful and open place has, for me, turned into a place where ... *sighs* I dunno... it's just all about talking negatively and cruely about others [img]frown.gif[/img]

I'm sorry girls, I love you all, but I can't read things like this. I just can't.

I only went there the other day to get the link to this place [img]smile.gif[/img]
I was wondering why the promoting thread hadn't been locked lol

BArb, i got to admire you for having a go like that.....take that back, yoou wern't having a go you were voicing an opinion and as we know, you daren't have such a thing over there [img]frown.gif[/img]

Slightly off topic i know, but does anyone else remember the mods saying no chit chat in the threads as that's what the PM function was for????
I'm fed up with reading a thread only to find it's been hijacked and the mods do fuck all about it [img]mad.gif[/img]
What was the other thing?? oh yes!!! remembering that there may be minors about...ok, i admit i've done my fair share of innunedos over there but some people go to far.
Sadly someone who posted these rules is the worse culprit in breaking them

There rant over!

First of all it's a brand new day, the sun is shining and I finally managed to get some sleep.

Laurie I am so sorry you feel uncomfortable, I know that is not a nice place to be in. However, looking at the topics here overall I still believe there is a healthy balance which I hope you can find again.

Selfishly I need somewhere where I can be honest, whether positive or negative. I always strive not to be outrightly negative or cruel which I admit I failed this time. In hindsight I am glad the thread in question was deleted and made a sticky by someone official, however, I believe it should have been placed in the Promotion forum where I never would have read it in the first place (but I am one of 6000+ so I feel very irrelevant). Why did I respond the way I did, simply because once again I detected a superior tone that implied authority (and yes the article was in the back of my mind which didn't help) and responses to someone I care very much about were becoming cruel, nasty and dismissive. This is a long established pattern and it makes me sad because it has never been stopped in the past and in my mind the powers that be deem it acceptable (but not by others). But then perhaps when you are so very passionate about something, run and moderate your own place it's difficult to switch to being a member elsewhere...just a thought.

I think Janie summed things up very well earlier and was also a great help to me now as I struggle with feeling nothing when listening to Darren's music.

So hugs to everyone and please believe it when I say the biggest plus of this place for me has always been the respect we have for each other EVEN when we do not agree, that is a gift!

I'm sorry too, but I agree with Laurie. As she said, I love you all & you are all great friends - but since when has publically singling out, targetting and slating someone else been ok? I understand that this is a place for everyone to vent, but in my opinion when it gets this personal its gone too far.

Dryzabone · May 28th, 2004, 12:54 AM

Well I guess there isn't a healthy balance after all, how ironic the sun stopped shining at this moment too.

I can't do this anymore.

Take care everyone.
