Don't get ahead of yourself and be in la-la land. This place will never be a lovefest. Debate and total difference of opinions and preference of singers and off-color remarks filled with sarcasm is what the place thrives on and will continue to be. :lol: If it's not an Arnel lovefest and no bad language, most plokkers don't want to be here. :wink:


Everyone is welcome, but a lovefest becomes boring quickly and with this band there is always enough to debate to keep things interesting. And bad language is also part of this site - myself included sometimes - just keep it respectful :P


K, boss. :D I'm not making any promises that I won't go ballistic on SJ's ass if he bags on my boys though. :lol: :twisted: :P

I hear you, I treated myself to a few shows, but have been counting my pennies mostly. Boz Scaggs is next on the list and then a dry spell until the Malo/Tierra show. Perfect summer music right there.

Drew - could you clarify this point for all of us?

Great point, slucero. Gotta love these guys who think their constitutional rights are violated every time someone tries to lay down some guidelines as to what can be said or not on a private forum. This is not a democracy....it's a private forum, a benevolent dictatorship, if you will.

Well....I've always advocated free speech here anyway, but done with RESPECT :)

As for the forum itself....I own the server, the domain name and the board was installed by a mate and upgraded/customized by myself. MelodicRock.com is 100% my baby.

Thanks Drew... this means Deano needs to unclench his sphinctre from his neck, because apparently his brain has been overcome by the methane gas, causing him to have delusions of entitlement.

No go at the time being. Life took over and I've had other stuff to attend to. May reconsider at a later date, but I believe someone else (a fan) was working on one also.

I don't pretend to understand what the big deal is about chilling out and giving other people some respect, especially Andrew, who happens to own the joint.

I haven't read anything here where Andrew has shut down debate, etc. It reads to me like he's simply asking for all the (beaten-to-DEATH) "frig is gay" stuff and the unneccessary name calling and whatnot to cease. I don't see what's so wrong with that.

The only thing that really has ever bugged me was the downright vulgar stuff. I don't see why a point can't be discussed/debated/even downright argued without the words "meat ditch" or "filthy snatch" showing up. I'm not talking about jokingly saying "You fucker" or something like that... there's a difference. But I always knew if I ever came out and either fired back the same way (which I don't do) or really bitched openly about it, I'd be the next target. And I have been anyway, totally unsolicted whether I was participarting in whatever the topic was or not, so I guess should have just bitched about it anyway. :roll:

So I'll bitch about it now. :lol: It doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor and I've been pretty good at either letting it go or acting like it doesn't bug me, and I'm no sort of girl scout myself, but it's downright embarrassing sometimes. I can actually hear the eyes rolling now, and call me uptight, if you choose, I truly don't give a damn, but I bet you all that I'm not the only one who feels that way.

If that's the "edge" that some are saying is "lost" than it's a good thing. Why does there need to be an "edge". I think this place is edgy enough, though, to still be interesting and I think the members can uphold that with respect to each other.

If I understand correctly:

1. Making jokes about the band members is now off limits (disrepectful).
2. Making jokes about other posters whether in fun or not is off limits (disrespectful).
3. Sexy girl pics are off limits 'cause it offends some of the women here.
4. F-bombs and other "bad words" however are ok 'cause Andrew uses them.

Well, this is a case of you can't have your cake and eat it too. Some don't use profanity so might find it disrespectful but as long as its not directed at a band member or other poster, its accepted. So when do you use it without offending someone? Damn that swine flu, its a bitch? :roll:

What, you don't like the F word in thread titles? Too bad folks, its not being disrepectful, that's what keeps this site edgy. :roll:

If some of you thought this site had started getting boring as of late, give it a couple more months of this semi pc policy. That's not Journey music I hear, its crickets chirping.

Welcome to Backtalk 2, F bombs are ok here, if done with respect.

Maybe Andrew needs to clarify then? I didn't read Andrew's requests to be as extreme as what you're laying out. I didn't see anything (unless I missed it?) about banning sexy girl pics. When *I* cringed at it the other day it was because sheesh, can we just have one thread for it? :lol: Every two weeks there's a porn thread. Who said the women were offended, though? As long as we ladies, in turn, get to post sexy men pics too, then what's so offensive? And if some ladies are offended, stay out of the designated tits and ass threads. Simple.

The language is one thing, and yeah some people don't use curse words in general, but isn't there a fine line between just cussing versus being crude, hostile and offensive for the purpose of talking down to or hurting someone?

agree. We have tp remember that this board is a bit of fun for most of us. This site though is Wombats way of making a living. Anything should be ok until it makes it difficult for wombat to carry forward his business. And of course the only person in a positon to judge that is Wombat himself.

Well said!! Oh..and that is exactly how it all began and why I was targeted a long time ago. Things were being said towards me which I didn't appreciate ..totally unsolicited..so I figured I would speak up against it rather then just sit back and take it. I also started speaking against the completely over the top stuff way back. I have been called uptight and every other name in the book every since. :shock: :lol:

I don't see what the big deal is either in requesting a little more respect...to be able to have a little more decorum for the comfort of ALL to post here, not just a small minority who want to do as they please for their own " jollies" at the expense of others. I have a sense of humor...I'm no saint..never claimed to be one....a little risque innuendos done in humor...I have no problem with that...just the over the top vulgar talk , the degrading attacking and the x rated porn stuff. For crying out loud..this is not a XXX site so everyone should not be subjected to that. Anyone that wants to participate in that kind of thing and talk should go do it elsewhere.....there are plenty of other places on the web they can get their jollies at so no one is being " deprived" if they can't get it here. This is an open forum for MUSIC discussion primarily so it's like going anywhere else in public..a little discretion and respect for others is called for.

Again...well said post, I know exactly where your coming from. 8)

has journey earned our respect??? To me that is what I question...
yes with the RICH history of the songs the LPs and the legendary concerts... that said, the personal moves... thats another situation all together.
THE releasing of Augeri the way they did... letting go SOTO the way they did... and that is after the Perry situation from 12 years ago now.
hard to control fans opinion in this regard, especially when its a forum created for us the fans..to express what we are feeling at the moment.

The respect issue though I understand completely, with out it, its just a message board filled with crap threads.

Yeah, but, I think what Andrew's point was, was that nearly every band has these situations within them in some form or another, and the fans have strong feelings about it, and it's ok to discuss it, but can we do so without going on for 20 posts in every thread about Neal's 22 wives and Cain's ficticious homosexuality, AND without attacking each other in a harmful way.

Am I the only one who actually understood Andrew's post? :lol: :lol:
And if I'm missing the mark, forgive me, but that's my interpretation of what he asked.

Speaking displeasure of actions they have taken as a band is one thing..going on and on with things like " friga is gay" and on and on about peoples personal relationships and lifes..or bringing any of their family members into it is another. I think Andrew would just like a little more respect done in that regard..cut out the childish degrading of people....but I don't see where he meant that people couldn't voice their opinions on what the band has done as a band in the past or the present. I think that discussion can still go on...but just keep it a tad more civil with each other when discussing....that when someone disagrees with someone elses opinion they don't go totally off on them and call them every name in the book is all I see he's asking for. :wink: :)

Neither did I. I'm sure the debates, jokes, sexy threads, etc are still cool but just bring your opinion across with a little respect and no personal attacks. People here aren't stupid, they know when they're crossing the line and when they're not. Just needs to be toned down a bit. Seems llike a pretty simple request to me. :?

Maybe Andrew needs to clarify then? I didn't read Andrew's requests to be as extreme as what you're laying out. I didn't see anything (unless I missed it?) about banning sexy girl pics.

Right. For example, I can tell Deb, in a light hearted friendly way how much Calgary sucks and are going to get their asses swiftly WHOOPED tonight by Chicago. But I can't tell Deb that she's a sucky ass Canadian for supporting that pack of a-holes.

This is just an example, btw. I do NOT think Deb is a sucky ass Canadian. She is, in fact, a rather friendly and fun Canadian. But I DO think the Flames are gonna get trounced tonight. And Iginla is ugly. He's not a member here so I can say that. :lol: :lol:

BUT, Cain isn't a member here either, and they can't say he's gay anymore :lol: Though I guess the chances of Iginla actually READING here are slim, so maybe that's fine then :wink: :lol:
