Memo to Andrew

[Socratic Methodist]

I love your MR site...have been a fan for close to 9 years.

BUT...these message boards, especially this one, are a joke. It is nothing but a pissing contest about who knows what, and first.

You have many camps, and they like to bicker back and forth.

All people want to do is insult others, and down their OPINIONS.

Like I said....the music info on the main site is AWESOME, but this stuff brings it down....sorry.

Great, another Monker or another Fred...

Apparently you've been a member of several boards
over the years since you know Dave pretty well.
You know how these things go.
Don't belittle Andrew with that kind of shit.
THIS is the premier Journey Forum where, for the most part,
we are allowed to speak pretty freely. Drew weeds out the
terds when he needs to and does a pretty good job at it.

But hey, TJFs are back up if you're interested
and BT just might breathe again...
You've got other options...

No one is forcing you to visit here...

I'm not belittling Andrew.....

I'm voicing my disdain for the way people act towards each other here.

As in 'freely', you mean telling people that they 'suck cock', and that they are, 'pricks, cocksuckers, and dickweeds, dickheads'...My that's just a great way to further a discussion and prove a point.

You suck cock.

Another whiner. If you don't like it, change the channel.

So why don't you tell on us to CJ so she can lock them threads ,eh!?
As stated above, if you dont like it here, take a hike. Not our fault that your heavily moderated forum is closed for time being!

Thats the nature of message boards. It is not up to Andrew to be everyones moral concience. That is up to each and every one of us in how we choose to conduct ourselves. We are all adults here and should be able to conduct ourselves that way. It is up to you to choose what you want to respond to and participate in. Choose to defend yourself or not. Skip something that offends you or speak your opinion if you think it is wrong. If you feel strongly about something then stand up and take a stance. Fight for your opinions if you believe in them. Your opinions are just as relevant as anyone elses. These are all your choices. Andrew gives people a chance to be able to speak freely= free speech. Participate on the board or not, just dont cry to Andrew, he's not your father. Be secure in who you are and dont let others define you. Know yourself and be confident when coming in.

[JrnyScarab]

Freedom of speech. Freedom of choice. Please choose another board to whine to.

[Socratic Methodist]

Well - you can't have it both ways....you can't pull the 'free speech' card, yet have a sticky warning people about being banned.

That warning is for the likes of you, not MR regulars! DUH!

That is a warning to trolls, but I agree with your point. Let everyone have their say and a chance to say it. If they then prove that they are a troll and ONLY are here to stir things up then I also agree that Andrew has the right to ban them. It's his house, after all.

[conversationpc]

I don't always agree with how this forum is moderated but, in the end, if you don't like the forum or the people here, you don't have to stay and gripe about it.

[JrnyScarab]

Too many people come in and stir up shit before they hang around long enough to grasp the nature of what goes on here. Much of it is tongue in cheek with the insults. If it gets too far out of hand Andrew will regulate it. Other than that, we enjoy the freedom to interact as we see fit.

If the sticky you are referring to is my avatar, that is to show what backstabbers Journey are.

[Socratic Methodist]

I'm only refering to the name calling. I'm thick-skinned, believe me. I just don't get WHY people have to resort to this childish behavior.

Imagine if people got this fired up, and emotional over stuff that REALLY mattered.....

I already like this place more than BT....I come for info, and to make a comment or two. Not to be insulted by some egomaniacal god of all posters.....

If you're "Thick-skinned" then stop whining and dish it back.

In the words of Extreme:
"If you don't like, what you see here, get the Fu(n)k out! get the Fu(n)k out! get the Fu(n)k out! get the Fu(n)k out!"

Almost forgot!


It's not that bad. Only sometimes does it really get out of hand.
