gimme, I'm liking your ideas. Your experience here is hugely valuable. As for being old- nawww- believe me, hahaha! Anyway, good show, man! Thank you!
H., I think you're awesome too! :-D
Ah shit, I think the world of all of you, even those I don't always agree with. Even those of you with whom I've tangled with big time. So what?! At least you're all here, you all give a shit. That's good enough for me. As for those who got the boot- I sincerely hope they come back. It's how we learned. If gotten the boot before, not here, but in other ways- really hard ways- and those mistakes helped me grow. No regrets, just learning and moving on. >-

this is what happens when people get banned. they post elsewhere, and people who support them or enjoyed interacting with them, or think their banning was wrong also post elsewhere.
personally, i am kind of over politics right now. i feel like i have already posted everything i have to say about the active topics on the first page. the same ones we always talk about. guns, war, occupation, climate change, cops, etc. i have said it all before.
i am tired of arguing, and if i can avoid it, these days i choose to avoid it.
Good post gimme.i agree sometimes the same topics repeat in multiple threads. But since this is a Pearl Jam site,and it is 48 hrs until the St.Fuckin Louis show you should be jacked up and maybe head over to the porch to follow what tonight's set list is in Cincy so we can rule out what we will get on Friday.I am expecting big things from your city.I want Beer,BBQ and Rock n Roll.
i have been kinda following that setlist. i am pretty stoked about this show. i have no specific expectations for friday night. i think everything is on the table, so i can't really rule anything out just yet. this band always surprises me by playing things i don't expect to hear. friday i am just going to hang out at the preparty and mingle with the people that are gonna be there. then i will go in after doors open and hang out in ga and just take it all in. i am pretty thankful that they are coming to me and that i don't have to go to them this time. i just hope my city doesn't disappoint those that are making the trip.
it is gonna be a friday in st louis. there is plenty of joy to be had, and plenty of trouble to get into, if you know where to look for it
All I know is we are pre gaming at the wishlist at Maggie's(?) From there who knows.It sucks Oktoberfest Dosent start until 4 and is over by 11.That would have been a great after party.
Brian, none of us need to justify responding to one topic and not another. Won't/can't speak for anyone else, but sometimes I read something and feel I have nothing of substance to contribute (in terms of posting...may have a thought or two but not worth spitting it out). That's not tantamount to apathy. Also, some topics don't light my fire; no apologies for that.
I guess I just post when I want to, and on what I want to. Don't most of the folks here do the same?
gimme, good idea (though I believe the ignore feature is already in place - never felt the need to use it).
Last week was my 15-year anniversary of my beginning within the "old days" of this community. Loved them and all they brought me - but I also like the now.
PS - fuck cliques! Always gave a squinty-eye to them.
edit - hope I didn't come off as an a-hole, B. I'm quite fond of you, ya hippie
Kinda to your point,there are some smart,good thinking educated folks on these boards.Sometimes just sitting back,chilling and taking it all in is very entertaining.Some peeps are so passionate about one thing or another. If I can't debate on the level of knowledge,I usually will hold back as there is nothing to contribute.But truth be told some of the best discussions are ones where I learn a little something along the way,and I find the thread has more relevance as I become more dialed in.Does that make sense?
Agreed. It's a shame because he was a wealth of knowledge who couldn't make peace with the notion that we all have the right to be treated civilly. Godfather, keep putting me in my place if I ever end up like that. I also still owe you a response in Beheaded by ISIS, and realized I didn't push 'Post Comment'; I haven't forgotten

Grit was lost in January when we switched to the new board layout. I figure about 75% of regular posters dropped out over the first couple months of the rollout.
It also doesn't help that the ticket system has turned into a lottery thanks to the PJ20 saboteur. There is less incentive to renew, in my opinion.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
