Good or bad, it separated me from SP or SA, I enjoyed it so I did it. Having comments, criticism, disagreements is part of the game but it's not one sided. If I can't voice my opinion on someone who has no problem doing so about me on a public board then sue me for not living up to your standards. I honestly think, no make that, I know throwing darts back at someone who does it to me on a regular basis on a little forum is not going to affect my career in the slightest...especially to someone who continuously calls me a nobody....hey, I'm his equal then according to him!
OK, back to what I was doing.....staying away from threads like this!
It's not about living up to MY standards, its about living up to your own, and the standards, people (your fans) expect of you, and staying away from threads like this is maybe the best thing to do.
Look, maybe you need a little history lesson to better understand
why it is not out of the ordinary for Jeff to pop in and post, whether
it be to join in on the fun or to defend himself...
Jeff has been coming in here for a few years now, interacting
with the fans, listening to ideas, requests while he was with the
band, keeping us informed on things...
Not only that, Jeff went out of his way for members on this forum
while he was in the band, getting folks Meet&Greet passes,
letting a few lucky fans in on soundchecks, hanging out at after-show
get togethers... He let himself be accessible like no other artist in his position
I know ever has.
Now, a lot of these
SAME people that Jeff reached out to and catered to
are doing a complete double-take and talking a bit too much shit now that
they are memebers of the
Arnel Pineda Pinata Army.
Wouldn't YOU feel a bit betrayed or stabbed in the back???
Sure, getting defensive with "
Nameless & Faceless" minions
on a fan forum get's guys in Jeff's position no where.
But when you
KNOW these people and have interacted with these
same people away from this forum, in person and have formed
somewhat of a relationship with them,
the rules change no matter
what your stature; RockStar, Cab Driver, PeepShow Floor Mopper...
Hope this helps you out
