Apology

[Granny]

Nice apology, but not needed for me...I'm glad u are back, but then again u knew that...

[AR]

I'll throw my own in as well.....

I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in this forum, and I personally apologize to any MR member, family member or American who was offended.

I don't want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues, I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our forum, and a winning strategy for Journey.

God Bless Melodic Rock!

Ed, is that you or are you letting Mr. Kerry post under your username again???

To Andrew and others:

I am sorry for wishing AIDS on anyone. Anyone who knows me knows I would never or could never mean that, but anyway, I am sorry.

I HAD to do this. I still hate with all my heart, about 5 people on here, and hate the living shit out of them, but o well.

Back to your regularly scheduled Board talk.

Anyone who wants or needs to talk about Baltimore, feel free to email me at derbydeano@yahoo.com.

Ah, isn't that just adorable. Maybe your Koolaid band of worshipers buy into your phony ass dog and pony show. Nah, you are nothing more than a sociopath grifter, in addition to a backstabbing liar (listen up ladies), opportunist and a pitiful excuse for a human being. You take up way too much space on the planet! Just what the world needs, another slovenly, self obssessed, hatemonger. Oh and by the way, if you want to keep receiving payola from the Band, it might behoove you to refrain from sharing your "insider" information to anyone and everyone you come across. I'm sure your "buddy" in the Band who confided in you about the $2million Augeri received to sign the gag order and disappear into the sunset, felt you would keep that little tidbit to yourself. Obviously that person is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. You couldn't keep you mouth shut if someone poured super glue in it!!!

Welcome back "The King of The Board". You and the Stepford bunch can jerk each other off all day, everyday. Now EVERYONE is on the same toxic page with you. This isn't a forum, it's a house of horrors with you at the head of the table. If the Journeymen think you are their saving grace, maybe they all need a career change. I hear The GAP is hiring!

Oh yes, one more thing, Howard Stern sucks! The only thing that sucks more, is your pathetic imitation.

Have a lovely trip to your next hangover.

Before I finally started participating here, I tuned into this board daily. I always looked first to see what Deano had to say -- funny, crude, thought provoking, and informative. I like his balls out approach and his passion for the band. I appreciate the inside info, the bootlegs, and the comedy. Roast me if you want to but I'm just being honest.

This forum is so much better than that crap at BT. If I see another 'An Open Letter To The Gentlemen Of Journey' or any other lame ass post by asswipes like Rusty, I'm gonna puke. That's why I come here. I don't mind if people go over the top with insults and have nasty debates. It's so much better than someone posting an original song about SA or writing a poem about the 'guys'. yuck.

[lights1961]

Deano, thats what happens when you type first and think second... its called foot in mouth syndrome. I get it all the time...

Rick

[Paul_UK]

Calling someone a c.unt for example, is not the way to win an argument

Suppose they really are one though? Say it, get it overwith, save a lot of keystrokes.

Why is it that men take almost no offense to being called a dick but women freak out over that C word?

Probably cos its very rare that we actually have the warmth, depth or feel of one!!!

[Monker]

I don't want Deano to "laugh quietly". I enjoy the rowdy, in-your-face humor that he brings here. But perhaps he can do it with fewer "Sternisms", if you know what I mean. The people who watch and listen to Howard Stern do so knowing exactly what they are getting. He markets to a particular type of people - which is great. Not all those people are the same people who hang out here.

Exactly. Same old Deano please, just without stepping over that line.

What line? You have not drawn one. I said the last time he, and you, went bonkers that it would happen again. You do NOTHING about it. What, banning him for five minutes is supposed to send a message or something? He'll calm down for a while and then it will all build up to what it was a few days ago....and then the cycle will repeat. Have you not seen that yet? Like I said, YOU are the only person who can do something about it - and, for whatever reason, you refuse to. We'll be right back in this same situation early next year.

Welcome to the insane asylum! I couldn't agree with you more on Jackass Central. It's nice to see someone else escape that waste of internet space. Pretty soon, all the wiggle weirdos will have their wish, and there will literally be no other postings over there except "I want to sniff Augeri's crotch while sending positive vibes to Mr. Awesome" threads! I wish Andrew had an "ID Check" at the door of MR to keep all those wiggle wack jobs off of this site!

Dude, I delt with your problem, don't start looking for more. If you need to make up your quota of complaining for the month, do it elsewhere, cause I ain't listening.

I'm just speaking my mind on the entire situation....along with you and others. I've said the same thing before, and I'll say it again in a few months - whien it happens again. Sorry, if you don't like it - but I'm not the cause of the problem. I'm not 'complaining'...just pointing out what should be obvious.

I'm not 'complaining'...just pointing out what should be obvious.

Yeah, and where would we be without you to do just that.

Wait...Deano told YOU this stuff too?! Cheese and crackers, I thought I was special. Apparently not. Did he also tell you about the Journey CD with Perry's vox out and Jeff's in, or was that one just mine? Did he mention to you that it was management that was behind the lip-sync'g thing, not Augeri, but that Augeri went along with it?

Come to think of it, I'm starting to wonder how many other people he told this stuff to with a "shhh, don't tell anyone." Too weird...

[ArnelRox]

Did u ever think maybe Dean took a few people into his confidence b/c he thought he could trust those specific individuals but didn't want EVERYONE to know? Nice of u to tell EVERYONE isn't it?

Thanks for the warning. I'll never tell u a secret.

Jeez..a two million pound pay off ...... thanks for bringing this out into the open.... who started this rumour???... they really should have kept their mouth shut.... if its true..the band will be peeved that confidence has been broken!!

[ArnelRox]

Jeez..a two million pound pay off ......

Macca IF that is true it is most likely not a "pay off" in the way ur thinking. Augeri was a partner in the band (not all partners are equal btw). When any partner leaves any corporation they are entitled to take their share of investment returns w/them. Usually there is some negotiation as to exactly what is what. That's where the lawyers, accountants & actuaries come in. & I would imagine that is what has been taking so much time before an official announcement could be make. These things are not always straight forward & they're rarely quick.

[Wheels Of Fyre]

I am sorry for wishing AIDS on anyone. Anyone who knows me knows I would never or could never mean that, but anyway, I am sorry.

Howard Stern regularly wished diseases on his radio enemies.

What a truly ignorant statement.

Deano is NOT Howard Stern and this forum is NOT Howard Stern's radio show!

I think we are all aware of that. Now can we PLEASE just give it a rest and get on with things..........? If you really want to know what may be turning the 'average guy' away, it's possible that it's not Deano's rantings at all, but all the bullshit that's going on right now. At least with Deano, he says what he thinks and then moves on. This is getting ridiculous!! And now I find myself not bitching about Dean's remarks, but bitching about the bitching about Dean's remarks. GROW UP PEOPLE!!! We are all adults, aren't we?

[NealIsGod]

No one is turning away because of Deano. This forum is the most popular one because of Deano. Before tapegate, the Styx forum was kicking this forum's ass. Now it's the opposite, with a couple of Styx regulars now posting in here way more than they do over there.

Mmmm... agreed..... suppose it could have been his entitlement... certainly meant he was "out of the band" from day one of his "rest" then!

[heardonthestreet]

Sounds like Augeri is well out of it and can go on with his life. He took a lot of flack before so he is probably immune to any more. He did what they wanted him to do and earned his two mil. Maybe he will buy a few Gap franchises.

Thanks for the warning. I'll never tell u a secret.

That's fine, JR. You don't need to tell me any secrets. I won't be disappointed. Why am I seeing another one of those "double standards" in your post? So, whatever information Dean might be privvy to is NOT to be held in confidence?! I'm assuming that whatever Dean (or anyone ELSE here) knows about the band that is NOT open to the public, should likely be held in STRICT confidence and NOT shared with anyone. Yet, the only person you're coming down on is ME, even though I was the recipient of information that most likely should NOT have been shared with me to begin with. So, to follow YOUR logic, you should probably NOT be sharing any of your secrets with Dean either...or maybe foremost.

This is laughable...IF Dean learned anything from the band directly, do you think they said, "Okay Dean, look, go ahead and pick out about 6 to 8 people that you believe can keep these secrets and tell them...with a warning that they tell NO ONE." I'm QUITE certain that whatever was told to Dean was told in the strictest confidence. He blew it...not me or anyone else on this board. But Dean is above the law anyway, correct?

[fred-journeyman]

Jeez..a two million pound pay off ...... thanks for bringing this out into the open.... who started this rumour???... they really should have kept their mouth shut.... if its true..the band will be peeved that confidence has been broken!!

I think she indicated that Dean told her. Whoever told HIM started the "rumor" and is just as much at fault as Dean for continuing to spread it. If it's true, it never should have gotten out of the band's inner circle. But who knows, maybe this will be confirmed in Andrew's interview...or not.
