Im taking a vacation in protest!

I dont wanna rattle Andrew's cage here... its his party... and he will cry if he wants too! ... but the "apology" thread really was the last straw for me.

A genuine apology was hi jacked by "you know who".. ok.. the "shit heap" again... and really his language and attitude were really disgusting. Im on record as having no respect for Deano..who could really? Only someone with a warped, and "left-field" sense of whats right and wrong. Ive seen enough... most of us here know hes a dick-wad, with a foul mouth, and the odd worthwhile comment. But frankly, all the shit he causes isnt worth the "one " decent comment every so often.

I think Andrew should really get a grip of this guy.... but he hasnt done, and he never will, it seems. His record of misdemeanor's is as long as the longest arm... hes had "vacation after vacation" only to return with the same old crap. I humour him from time to time... but thats been my mistake... as it is the mistake of everyone here who does the same. Really... the guy should be voted off the board by secret poll or similar, as some wont have the balls to rattle him publicly.This is a forum... which means"the people" ,,and the people should claim it back.

Some may have noticed, or not...whatever, that I have posted less here lately, I pop in to check threads.. but its "The Song Remains The Same" isnt it?

So.... Im mot even gonna bother to post up for a while.... givin it a break... will return to see if things have changed, or a broom has swept the detritus away.

Until then.... keep rockin.... and vote with your feet if you want the "Shit Heap" to be banished

Dam..I missed it all...put my head down and got some work done and I missed something juicy.
Macca, you've just not paid your AOL bill, you fucking cheapskate! Do you want me to send some cash down or what scouse buddy :shock:
The sites changing by the week...it's getting soft I thought, too many of the others coming over.. can you let me know what was said on the apology thread :?:

Andrew closed the thread. He probably deletes about half of what Deano writes.
What else do you want him to do?
This place is what it is - warts and all.
Enjoy the "show," or find a forum that you can.
luck to ya

That's all that really needs to be said, right there. It IS Andrew's "party". And everyone is here by their own choice. If you don't like they way things are, then don't come here. It's really just that simple.

I'm not trying to be a dick about it...that's just the way I see it.

Thanks IJM....nothin' at all, like you said...A & D do this how many times a week :roll:

Look I'm going on record here as saying if I had a role model it would be Deano, he's funny as fuck and at the end of the day it's only cybertalk, I'm 99% certain there's a thing going on here from BT....they're sending newbies over at an alarming rate, not all newbies so don't all go throwing abuse. Their ploy is to discredit Deano and anyone who follows, I'm fucking sure of it :shock:
Now Deano will come in and say...fuck off Euro, I don't need any back up...that's just what shithead does best though8)

Are you living in a cartoon world or what? so you got it figured out? there is a ploy to get here and discredit Deano? Get real man!,,,
since when is being rude equals to funny as fuck,,,, and even if its cybertalk, sometime it may get to some people.
after all the cyber talk youre talkin about comes from HUMAN BEINGS (in most cases) , not bots!
I dont think Deano needs anyones help to get any kind of discredit.
And to top it all of , your line about the role model,,, now THAT is funny as fuck!!!

behshad, your new here,, its showing,, yes , folks come over here all the time to bash deano ,, most deserve what he gives them back after they start it , , as far as the "apology thread" its really only 3 or 4 members business anyway,, often times there is more to the story than what meets the eye,,

Lets face it. Deano can be funny. Just take his language with a grain of salt. If u look between the lines at some of his comments they are really funny and sometimes interesting. This site is getting boring and Deano just revs things up with his strange opinions and they are strange at times. I vote we just let him jabbber on until he stops cursing and has something of importance to say. JMO :) or ignore him :wink:

I didnt come here to bash Deano,,, in fact i didnt know who the fuck Deano was (nor did I care, still dont),,,,
I came here because JSS posts here once in a while,,,
I have been to many forums but this by far is the best and the worse,,,,
Best about it is the people here are cool and open minded, worse part is that the moderator only has the title 'moderator' and thats all.
And those who bash Deano dont do it just for the hell of it,, there is always somethin behind it,,,
Now I think we would avoid most of this, if most people would just ignore what he says that they dont like
but that would only be possible in a perfect world....

peace

You are absolutely positively 100% correct about what you said!!!

I had been visiting the front page of this website for a couple of years before I even found out that there are message boards on here. I HAD always respected Andrew for being deticated to Melodic Rock/AOR. I even e-mailed Andrew a few times to give him some info that I had related to Survivor, and everything was fine.

However, after I foundout about the message boards I was disgusted to find that he will let Deanno do whatever the hell he wants on here no matter how abusive he is toward other members of the forum.

Andrew let Deanno spread his rumours about the band without any proof at all to backup his claims.

He has let Deanno verbally abuse anyone he wants to. He lets him use the most vulgar and immature language you can think of without any repurcusion what-so-ever.

After about 3 months of Deanno's constant abuse toward me and other members I finally sent Andrew a PM asking him to finally do something about Deanno's behavior toward me and the other members of the board, and instead Andrew sent me a PM telling me that if I don't like it I should just stop posting on the site.

I have NEVER seen another website on the internet that allows members to abuse the people who follow the rules, and then turns around and tells the decent people that if they don't like it they can leave.

I agree with you that it would appear that there aren't enough members who are willing to speak-up about Deanno's behavior. I have gotten many PM's from members who can't stand Deanno because of how he acts on here, and that they wonder why the hell Andrew hasn't baned him from the site. Unfortunatelly there are not enough people that are willing to speakup about it because if they do they will then get ganged-up on by Deanno's cult. Much the same as I'm sure I will be ganged-up on by them for this post.

we need Deano--everytime someone from BT comes here and starts something he defends us even if it is with filthy language. ---He gets his point across. :)

Behshad, I know what you mean!!!

There are also many paranoid members on here!

First of all, I have never seen Deanno make even one post that was even slightly funny. He appears to be a guy who tries to be funny but fails evertime.

And I can say with certainty that no-one from BT has ever asked anyone to post on here.

If you want to say that he had some points that might have been worth considering, then fine. But he didn't have proof.

Seriously, Can someone tell me what has ever been funny about a single post that Deanno has ever made?

I used to take improve classes at a comedy club, and I have won a few amature contests at comedy clubs.

I just fail to see anything funny about anything that Deanno has ever said.

Sounds like good advice, to me. I'm not trying to start shit with anyone here, and I'm not directing this at anyone in particular...but if you don't like the place then don't come here. I agree with very little of what Deano says. But, he is free to express his opinion like the rest of us. Andrew sets the rules...it's his Board. I just don't understand why some people come here (seemingly) just to get pissed off about something or another? If you don't enjoy yourself...then why come here? Some people just seem to take this shit way too seriously. :roll:

What if he likes the place but doesnt like the abuse,,, sure its nice with freedom, but if there are no rules to be followed and you can insult people and get away with it, then you might as well have Donald Duck being the moderator.

He is tryin to enjoy himself yet he has to put up with too much shit ,,,, and youre right some people take things seriously, but you cant change that,,, besides its easier to control one person being rude, than changing a dozen who are too sensitive.

No Johnny tries to model himself on her, if he crept into bed by mistake I'd slip him one on the understanding he got me into the next pirate movie 8)
