    I dropped out of that huge group on fb. I saw enough pj tattoos to last five life times.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    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'.

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

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

    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.

    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?
  • iimagineiimagine Posts: 492
    Dischordvision, your welcome, looking do forward to some positive, non competitive real fans, please join!

    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

    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. :)

    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.

    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.
