PLEASE NOTE

I think in the spirit of honoring the endless stream of lead singers in "Journey", we should change the name of "Forum One" a couple of more times

Tsk...that's crazy talk. "Forum One" is a full member of the MR group of forums...oh, wait...is that YouTube Andrew's watching???...

[SherriBerry]

Maybe those artists appreciate having boards available for their fans.

Sounds about right.

I have a feeling Andrew just told us in that sentence why the name has changed. If he is continually getting flack from the Journey camp over this forum, why should he do them any favours? For all of the negativity, there is also a lot of appreciation, discussion, and promotion of the band and constructive ideas - setlist, site changes, etc. that they seem to be using.

If they don't appreciate it, they don't really deserve it and we still know to come here and discuss Journey anyway. Traffic didn't die when Andrew temporarily renamed it 'Engelbert Humperdinck'.

[Andrew]

There has been no flack coming my way in regards to this forum (recently at least...)....

Love the new name (Wombat Fodder) that is to cool

Its a cool name!!!

It seems like a lot of things sound or look gay to you. For God's sake , once and for all come out of the closet. Your gay jokes were cute at first but I seriously think you are somehow attracted to men/boyz. You gotta be at least bi.

No offense, but unlike yourself, he is too shy to admit he is bi.

Some of the women I know do will not agree, including mine and the wife's girlfriend.

None taken, but I would like to make a point regarding your comment. I can't speak for Steve so I don't know if he "is" or if he "isn't." (My gaydar doesn't reach all the way to Maryland.) I personally don’t believe he “is,” but he knows that *IF* he "is" I would be the only one he could trust with that information. Just so I can make my point; however, let’s assume for a second that he “is.” That said, maybe he's in denial b/c he saw all of the stuff that was said to me when I first joined & so he figures it isn't worth coming out of the closet. You gotta keep in mind, this place is about 99.9999999 % hetero & then there’s me & a couple of others who hide in the shadows. It’s not exactly a gay-friendly environment here. I can’t relax & say whatever I want like others here can do. I have to pick & choose my words & watch that I don’t cross that proverbial line that’s been drawn in the sand for me. We’ve all read comments from the women on this site gushing over how “dreamy” Steve Perry is & so forth. Tell me, Behshad, how long do you think I’d be able to get away with that? How long would I be able to gush over Perry if, in fact, I thought he was cute?

I’ve taken quite a few hits throughout my lifetime, everything from harassing telephone calls, to having my car egged, to having “FAG” spray painted on the front door of my house, to having my head stuck in a toilet, to being sucker punched in the high school locker room b/c someone thought I looked at him, to being asked to leave a straight bar b/c they didn’t serve “my kind” in there, to being told I would have to have supervised visitations b/c some judge didn’t want to risk leaving “someone like me” alone with my daughter for fear of what I might do to her, ..... The list goes on & on. Yes, I’ve taken quite a few hits in my life & so I’m used to the abuse. Still, not everyone has as thick of skin as I do. Tolerance doesn’t happen overnight. It took me many years to learn how to shrug off the hate, & how to laugh at myself & all the gay jokes. That wasn’t an easy thing to do.

Long story short: *IF* Steve is what you theorize, it isn’t likely he would admit to it & throw himself right under the bus. He’s smart enough to know what that would do to him.

Peace.

Damn! Wow! Don't know what to say except now that you highlight what you've been thru it looks very difficult, not to mention painful along the way. Sadly for me, I probably would have been one of those types of adversaries back in high school. I've come a long way. I'm very tolerant and understanding now but it took me 40 years to get there. Today if I were to find out one of my children was gay I know in my heart I would love them just the same and would not pass judgement. And, Jason, you did not have to post this. I'm sure it took courage. Thanks!

[stevew2]

Good, God Jason, you didnt have to go off,sorry for the shit you went through,im givin it a rest,for the record, i like pussy, nothin else .If you want to get even with them fuckers, Ill come by in my truck with a bat , and we ll go crack some fuckin heads

Life throws a lot at us at times and being happy is the only thing that counts.

Take it to PM....until stevew2 finally comes out of the closet.

I don't know you too well, Jason, because I wasn't around when you joined and I somewhat caught up with MR only in the last month, but form your posts (except for the back n' forth thingy with Stevew, mmkay?lol) I could tell that you are a great guy, very articulate, smart and with a great sense of humor which is #1 in my book. I never even once thought about your choices or your lifestyle when reading you. I don't see colors, races, social status, dogmas, continents, countries, sexual orientations or political views - I just see people and behaviors. Granted, our choices can shape our character, but if we don't have some core values and those first 7 years from home then there's no character to begin with.

There isn't one gay guy that I have ever met (and I've met quite a few) that wasn't an amazing friend, supercreative and overall trustworthy individual. Each of them. Not to mention that they are the best confidants and shopping companions evah! lol

I admire you for having the courage to stand tall and be who you are in this twisted world where the majority of the people fail to understand that we all have the free will as a God given birth gift. It's no human's business what people choose to do or live like, so whomever gives you grief for who you are, Jason...just fuck 'em. They don't deserve your time of day or any consideration.
You have a child and you chose to be true to yourself - two accomplishments that you should be very proud of.

I got myself in deep shit for banning the admin of a forum I moderate. We were all pissed because he basically took the job then nobody saw him for 2 months. I just went into the backend and banned him. When he tried to log in he got pissed and banned me. Admin trumps peon moderator. He let me back in after a couple weeks when he cooled off.
