Unbelievable....

[Gordon from Edinburgh]

Like I said earlier - there has ALWAYS been a problem with covering Journey. ALWAYS. 10 years of different bloody issues and crap and I've had enough!

This might be a little far-fetched, but do you think this person has a direct connection to the Journey camp?

Far-fetched is putting it mildly....

I don't think it is far fetched....it could be a someone who has carried out work for them - although i think its probably one of the pray team.... they were all nutters....

Gordon - what's the pray team? The BT positive vibes people?

Yes - altho they were not ALL nutters but some sure were obsessive.......

No. No one would not condone such actions.

[Andrew]

Let's not turn this into an arguement of any sort. The forum has been renamed and I'll leave as it is for now.

[Rockindeano]

...says the man who runs a Journey site entitled The Journey Forums.

Says the man that glorifies Jon Friga.

You're a dick, dude.

[conversationpc]

Andrew, you took the right 'first' step.....Just rename this board to a general 'melodic rock discussion' board. Screw Journey...screw any association with it.

Most people post in here, on topic or off topic anyway....so leave it open to all discussion...

...and leave Journey in the dust.

It's going to be mainly Journey-related discussion regardless, at least other than the OT threads, so I don't see a problem with it staying Journey.

[Matthew]

You're a dick, dude.

I think you missed my point....

Anyway, don't get all resentful just because I called you out earlier today on the single most ridiculous paragraph you have ever written in this forum.

[frfksakes]

You know what dude, close the Journey Board. It makes absolutely NO sense to keep it open. Why give them any mention? We can rename it to whatever, we can all still come here and BS, and you can be rid of anything Journey.

That is under serious consideration. I no longer have the patience or the desire to put up with certain things...

Just call it "The Pain in My Ass"

We'll all know where to come, lol, and the rest of the world will know how you really feel about all this crap.....

[MartyMoffatt]

If you ARE going to rename this forum, I think something alluding to Steve Perry is in order as it will:

1) piss off the world's shortest guitarist to no end.
2) disassociate this board from any direct connection to the current lineup...whatever the fuck it is.
3) be perfectly appropriate considering they have been riding his vocal coattails for the better part of 10 years.

I'm assuming this is a joke, because if not it is probably the most stupid idea I've seen on this board for a long time (and it has plenty of competition! ). If Andrew's intent, when considering whether to close or rename this board, is to reduce the amount of controversy, bickering, hate and bad feeling surrounding recent events, why on Earth would he consider renaming it to the one thing guaranteed to stir up more controversy and bickering than ever. That would be just stirring the pot.

Marty

1) It was
2) Your use of the words "most stupid" is, ironically, grammatically incorrect. The proper term would have been "stupidest." Dictionary.com might be a site for you to check out.

I don't wish to get into a battle of semantics and syntax, but I think you'll find that "most stupid" is, actually, grammatically acceptable. Either form of the superlative adjective can be used for "stupid". A quick search of the net revealed this definitive clarification... "Certain adjectives form their comparative and superlative either with er/est or more/most. These are : clever, common, cruel, friendly, gentle, narrow, pleasant, polite, shallow, simple, stupid, quiet." That's good enough for me.

Andrew, tell me who this vicious bitch is. Believe me, I am going through all the vile smelly twats in my mind I can think of. She will rue the fucking day. Everyone here will make her life a living Hell.

Romanian, seriously, posting that article was NOT a problem. This **** wants trouble, that's exactly what she shall receive.

Interfering with commerce, which is exactly what Andrew's concert is, is illegal. Andrew, you mustn't pay lip service. Strike this demon down, and let us all pile on.

Andrew version of the incident was: "This insane lunatic is e-mailing the venue and press outlets that are lined up to promote my event calling on them to boycott the event and boycott all promotion of this event due to racism on THIS message board and citing as an example that half-assed Pilipino (sic) blog article of last week."

If the person made up things, that is one thing, but if as is suggested by Andrew's representation, someone pointed out actual incidents that occurred on MR to the above sources, there is nothing remotely illegal about that. I would expect the person behind tapegate to understand that concept. I doubt Andrew has filed suit against the original internet site that put up the article suggesting racism, because there is no grounds for a suit. Like it or not, a website owner/operator is going to be responsible for what goes on via the site he creates.

It's a little over-the-top to take the time to contact venues, etc. but people get excited about racism. There is an endless list of people who fell from grace due the taint of racism; Don Imus, is the most recent one that comes to mind--a phrase was his downfall.

If I was promoting Andrew's event and I'd received e-mails suggesting the MR site was questionable, I would at least monitor it. Although threats seems to be your main reaction to most things, now is probably not the time for threats to be going out.

[Escape Artist]

Andrew,

Just close the Journey forum, I am all but done with this band anyway and I think it would be in youir best interests to kill it once and for all.
If journey wants their inuendo leaked let them re-open their own damn forum again.

[DarwinNebraska]

Deano's comments are comical.

You should cut that jerk off at the knees now Andrew... his comments in a time like this make this site look bush league.

Deano making veiled threats while you're persuing legal actions does not help your case Andrew.

Oh...don't worry about that, Escape Artist. I know I'm a totally ludicrous individual. Now...I don't want you to miss out on that scintillating discussion about JSS' cover version of 'Play That Funky Music White Boy'...so don't let me keep you.
