the other groups are nothing but a hideous mess generally.

I dropped out of that huge group on fb. I saw enough pj tattoos to last five life times.

iimagine

thank you! I was am so tired of it not being about PJ, and it being about who could be the bigger asshole to each other. I envisioned peaceful, loving and understanding fellow PJ fans when I joined the fan clubs and fan groups and fan pages, which most are, I'm not just willing to let the assholes have a voice and take over.

Oh it can be, those facebook groups just grew too big, and everyone there has an opinion that is right. So boring. Especially when everyone is the 'biggest fan'.

demetrios

Sounds good.

RoleModelsinBlood31

Yeah Facebook? Sorry, but no thanks. I stay farther away from that BS than any other BS

iimagine

it's not for everyone, the beauty of it is, you don't have to join if you're not interested!

Just hope the new group doesn't turn into the old group...FB seems to bring out the worst in some people unfortunately.

If I had Facebook I would join .

DischordVision

thanx so much for doing this.
I joined a group awhile back and it was so stupid and negative, full of members trying to outdo each other w/ their collections, etc.

High Fidelity 2000

All fine and dandy... but... Will there be pictures of Eddie looking hot?

Yeah, but at the same time the people who post a picture of 5 CDs and say "My collection!" are equally lame. They expect people to NOT say "that's all?" A lot of whiners in those facebook groups and some of them have gotten so off topic, it's ridiculous.

I've not been on facebook. Where does the negativity come from on there? Is it about merchandise, touring schedules, setlists , Ed's voice?

iimagine

Dischordvision, your welcome, looking do forward to some positive, non competitive real fans, please join!

Good luck with the new group!

jeff2040

Sounds good, I'm always up for talking Pearl Jam with new people!

PJ_Soul

Good luck to you. A number of the exact same kind of group already exist, just FYI, although none have been advertised here on the boards, so you might get a lot more traffic

I know exactly what you mean! Just found the group, waiting for approval. Cheers!

yes...and so much more.

demetrios

The best way to get rid of negativity on those Facebook groups it to block or delete those users. Your experience is sooooo much better if you do this. Let me tell you.

demetrios

But also add it would be great if the moderators of these Pearl Jam Facebook groups were able to block & delete those users themselves.

They should be able to remove them from the group. I agree about editing/blocking. It makes using Facebook enjoyable when you can control the flow/feed. Its evolved nicely since the very early days of FB.

Yeah, until group administrators start wielding their power with a heavy hand. I see a lot of admins on these FB pages just banning people because of differences of opinion.

lotsalemon

It's when the differences in opinion get out of control and people start attacking each other over it. There's a right way, and a wrong way to debate...pick the wrong way, and get your ass banned. Easy.
