    All I know is I MISS JEANWAH.....one of the reasons I'm not here as often as I used to be. One day I may just disappear never to be heard from again. :(

    Jeanwah is gone?

    wtf?

    I better be careful going at it with Byrnzie over in the dp thread. we might be on the cutting edge as well.

    Might be a good thing though... I can think of better things to be doing with my time- except it's pretty fun being on here sometimes.

    I think everyone needs to calm down. Some of those people mentioned above simply did not renew their membership.

    We all can agree that the admin can be to harsh when criticizing or handing down judgements. But lets be honest, some of the people that have been banned had been warned several times for whatever reason. Regardless of what we think of the rules, they still have to be followed.

    As far as chadwicks concern, I agree with him. The admin is just that, the admin. They are not a governing power that can talk however they please to the PAYING CUSTOMERS of this fan club.

    Unfortunately some were given permabans.

    It seems to me they are a governing power and do have the ability and right to say what they want. Many of us who are into rock and roll are also into the notion of resisting authority- one of rocks sub themes- but the truth is that authority does have its influences here.

    I don't think name-calling is appropriate.... However, I think that if someone is acting like a dick then people should be able to let them know it (usually, the person acting like a dick has already done some name-calling of his own). There are ways to tell someone you think they're being a dick without actually calling him one.... but it's a fine line.

    she and pandora got banned for life at the same time, to my knowledge.

    you and byrnzie aren't even close to anything that is bannable.

    I didn't think either one of them should have been banned either, and I wasn't exactly on good terms with either one of them .... I really don't think anyone should ever be banned unless they threaten someone or are caught scalping 10C tix. Detention, okay. But lifetime ban? That's a little over the top IMO.

    81 wasn't banned (as you probably already know). He chose to leave - let his membership expire. I think he was sick of not being able to say what he wanted to say and other not being able to, and got bored/annoyed. All the locked threads, etc. That does suck. Then again, if the mods just let everyone run rampant and say whatever the fuck they want to whoever in any way they want it would probably be a shit hole here anyway, and people would leave in droves.

    True.... Okay, they drove me nuts sometimes, but I never would have called for them being banned. People should stop reporting other members. It's super lame.

    If memory serves, they were very heated with each other before the bans.

    When I was a kid, we used to frequent a local Chinese joint called "Man Fuk Lo" (no joke).

    They had a dish called Naked Duck, and I refused to eat it because it reminded me of this beloved fella:

    Not to stir the shit, but personally it surprises me that some here find that ok that Jeanwah or Pandora have been given permanent bans. It's true and probably obvious to those who know me that I have my own biases (Jeanwah and I concurred on several issues and I always found her thoughts well said) but in any case a permanent ban seems way too harsh and saying they deserved it seems a little harsh as well. And I say this with all due respect to those who feel this way- I have no personal issues with any one here and feel friendly to all here.
