Let's give a round of applause to Andrew!!!!!

[johnroxx]

Yeah, but those other guy's were coming at him pretty heavy last night...self defense as I saw it! Of course he could have chosen to not respond, also...but I don't think "not responding" is in Deano's vocabulary!!

NO board admin should feel that it's necessary to deal with a sociopath on a daily basis. Seems Andrew is finally accepting that fact.

Bravo to him...seriously

;^)

johnroxx the kiss ass from the so called official site

No, Johnroxx the guy smart enough not to align himself with a drooling, ranting cyber-punk.

Enough said.

;^)

You just aligned yourself in the same way with this statement!!!

Huh?!?!

;^)

Duh!! Name-calling!!!

Grasping at straws you are...who am I aligning myself with? Not Deano, that's for certain. And that was the entire point of my post, which you've obviously misunderstood.

;^)

[Blueskies]

Why does there even need to be a thread about someone being temporarily banned?

Good question for steveforever!!

AMEN dude!!! this is unclassy,, i hate posting on it!!!

[johnroxx]

Whether or not this thread is "needed," or "unclassy," or in poor taste is certainly debatable.

But are any of you really surprised that this is being discussed? I mean, come on...seriously.

One more time---by calling name's as you have done here....drooling, ranting- cyber punk...you are doing the same type of thing you are complaining about...there an alignment!! Clear now!!!

oh no john , i wasnt directing that toward you.. and quite frankly im going to shup up about it and move on,, i have no idea what andrew and deano discussed privately so i may be coming off pretty stupid!! , for some reason i felt the need to defend deano , but if he was here and saw me doing it he would most likely tell me to shut up, hes a big boy!

You apparently see my "calling a spade a spade" as being just as offensive as Deano's juvenile behavior/schoolyard language here on a daily basis.

Now, who's unclear about the situation, lol?

and your being defensive and like to argue a small point too much....have a good one!!

[McNeil]

Jeez

Please people, dont expect us all not to talk about this one

I still for the life of me cant fathom Deano out at all. Judging by his pic, he looks like any other "waster" with too much time on his hands, addicted to his PC.. hey, Im in the club too.

Has anyone ever met the guy? Whats this crap about writing speeches for the white house. I aint never heard the President say "dumb fuck" yet, so he cant be reading it all properly...lol

Is Deano a "Walter Mitty" ....a fantasiser, head full of dreams. Maybe in his head he is Journeys manager and advisor. and what is this crap about him and Neal?? if you believe that Schon would have anything to do with him, then you must be out of your flaming tree.

He imagines he has some kind of hold here doesn't he. I wonder what it could be? One thing is for sure, the truth has not been fully told here, people are harbouring secrets Deano/Augeri/ maybe even our own leader, the boy "Andrew" (god bless him)

When will someone speak the truth here. We deserve to know.

Is this a new punishment, the one week sin bin? Is it voluntary, or enforced?

Question, questions, but no answers

[heardonthestreet]

Andrew will usually forbid discussion's about anyone banned since they can't defend themselves.

I hope that he deletes this topic.

[Spike]

I think it's a real shame to read people crowing about Dean's enforced posting "holiday". When I first posted here, I recall I was quite critical about Dean myself, but I have since come to believe that he is sincere in his beliefs, and amusing. Language is just that, language. It's "good" or "bad" only in the reader's mind. I think this site would be the poorer without Dean's take on things. I read the topic which resulted in these sanctions, and believe he was only defending himself. If you can't take the heat, the kitchen door's over there >>>>>>

I agree.

I just want to let everyone know that I don't have any personal problems with Dean. In fact, he can be quite funny sometimes! Yeah.. I was yanking his chain a little last night. But, to tell you the truth, I think he was having just as much fun as I was. Too bad he was put in time out. That isn't even what I expected to see this morning.

See ya soon, Dean..

Oh come on... we can't really be this naive, can we???

Deano himself has admitted that his "delivery" sucks. As far as I'm concerned (and apparently Andrew, as well), any witticisms that may escape his keyboard are overridden by his gratuitous personal attacks.

This is a definite no-brainer. The guy's carved his own canoe, now let him paddle it all by himself.

I agree. I know the personal attacks sometimes are uncalled for but they sure are funny. I also can believe Deano used to write for the white house or whatever, if you look past the cuss words you can see some good writing. I want him to come back!

[perryfaithful]

I do hate to say this but if tonight is the concert Dean "supposedly" has been invited back stage for...well i too was looking forward to hearing his review! WTF DEAN!

[Spike]

Naive? Not a bit.

But the truth is, johnroxx, I usually skip what in my opinion are your pompous and prosy outpourings. Dean I read every time. Feel free to skip my posts anytime, too.

If you would take the trouble to read properly, what I felt was a mistake was the crowing over Dean's punishment. That ban is Andrew's to mete out to any of us as he sees fit. It's his site. He doesn't have to be consistent or fair. But to have other posters standing on the sidelines chanting the online version of "Na, na, na, na, na" is just egregious and asinine behavior. In my opinion, of course.

[L~L~L]

People this topic is embarrassing. You nor I should crow about anyone being banned.
I beg you please have some class and move along. Let this be the last comment on this thread and please Andrew close this thread. Thank you.

[jrnyman28]

And people wonder why Deano has an ego...you can't stop talking about him!!

[johnroxx]

Groovy...

[styxman]

Don't worry Deano, you're now on the official Av tour....can't have a week without you, even though you're a right twat at times

[SteveForever]

Wow, gone all day and come back to the thread I posted early, you guys are sweet to take up for him...but COME ON ! He loves tormenting people with his ..."I'm gonna stick this up your b*** and screw this in your *** and your F'ing this and that," AND THAT'S NOT THE WORST... seriously sometimes its funny but every single thing he writes gets grosser and grosser! you do have to sift thru it to get to the good stuff. You say= don't come here then? then you'll have the same 20 people posting the same stuff over and over and over, don't you want new members and people to contribute stuff they know? I'm not saying I have anything positive to add that you don't already know, but I also didn't get Deano kicked off, I kid with him too. I think Andrew is 100% right to give him some time off to not make this site a disgusting slam against the members of the band like Steve A. and tell all the rest of us all the time how stupid we are. I like Deano, but if he's going to dish it out then he's gotta take it too.

[NoMoreTails]

Yeah, if this had been the reason he sent him on holiday....should have been and a long time ago. Calling the band mf'ers, etc. didn't even get him called down that I recall.

[A Fire Inside]

Dean has been on 'holidays' before. Don't get too excited, guys.

This one was long overdue.

[ArnelRox]

Please people drop this. Andrew owns this board. He has the right to do whatever he wants with it. I'm sure it sucks a ton of bandwidth from his server & it must be one hell of a job to have to come on & moderate while trying to be fair. He shouldn't have to. We're all grown ups. But if he does decide to moderate/ban/suspend or whatever-please remember that's his right. When we come here, we're in Andrew's virtual living room. If we were in his house, he'd have the right to ask us to leave & have us forcefully removed if necessary. As I understand it, he's had this board for years. He knows what is the rite thing to do. Let's let him do it & trust his judgment. As he would say move along please.

[nolippin]

Sorry, but the outrageous lies about train wrecks and working for the White House weren't bad enough. He had to add the arrogance of claiming the owner of the site wouldn't ban him "for a reason" and that he "owned" everyone here. He got what he deserved.

[Andrew]

Look people....I did not like giving Dean a holiday and might let him back early...as he was being baited and just has some others are just as bad in how they deal with him.

Case in point - a few posts in this thread. So obvious...

People wind him up on purpose as they know he's passionate and honestly, I wish some others were as passionate about things as he is - I just needed to make a point about the delivery of his defense.

Anyone gloating about Deano's holiday can join him.
