    After getting the email about memberships I've come to one conclusion.

    1996 Eddie would hate 2011 Eddie


    I don't often do this... but seriously?
    :roll:

    Yes, seriously. Now, I don't care that they want to make a buck, doesn't bother me. Heck, I don't even care that The Situation made $6 million in 2010. To each their own when it comes to making money. The point is that this band has done a lot in the last 5 years that went against many of the things they were for during most of their careers.

    So the play stands as called, 1996 Eddie would hate 2011 Eddie.

    Oh piss off, I don't need to prove myself as a fan of anything. Having some kind of hardcore status isn't going to make me a better, more successful person or make my dick any bigger, so who gives a shit? I'm 30 years old and derive no pleasure from the fact of being a huge fan of something. And I sure as shit don't need to pay money for things I don't need to prove I enjoy something to anyone.

    :lol:
    I like this post.

    What Pearl Jam has given me is priceless. I gladly pay $40 to be a member of their club. And yes, if you don't like it, then don't pay it. Stop acting like you have some sort of entitlement. If all the whiners leave the fan club, the true hard core fans like myself...
    Sorry for this, but you can't be serious?!
    You are a hardcore fan because you are willing to pay whatever they ask you to?
    Sick and sad ideas of what makes you a hardcore fan.

    By the way, what Pearl Jam has given me is priceless too. And I will be thankful forever for that.
    But that doesn't restrain me from using my head and make up my own mind.

    okay just have to say
    that being a member of 10c / not being a member of 10 c
    doesn't make you a true hardcore/not true hardcore fan
    just because you can afford to pay for this membership doesn't give you superiority over the thousands of other pj fans who aren't in 10c.


    the music, and how much it means to you = how much of a fan you are

    and who are we to judge if other people are "true hardcore" fans?
    i've seen this kind of treatment and attitude towards other fans of other bands, and i really really don't like it

    sorry, just had to get that out there

    rant over, didn't want to offend. just voice my opinion

    Hi Kat.
    Let me just ask you one question:
    If the president of Tenclub calls members of the Club assholes in public, what message does this send out?
    And why is there no official word about this?
    I don't want to justify rude behavior here on the board, and telling someone to Eff themself or Piss off really is rude and unacceptable.
    But if the president of the Tenclub is rude and abuses fans of the band by calling tenclub members a..holes, this is even a higher level.

    Because of the current membership changes, there are things to discuss, and maybe there are even things that still could be improved by 10-C.
    Sometimes it just seems that 10-C and 10-C officials can't deal with criticism and different opinion. Which is even more sad since we all love that band for their music, but also for them fighting for free sreech and for encourage us to have our own opinion.

    I hate to see people whining about these great things that PJ and their peeps are doing for us fans. It's almost like waking up Christmas morning, having a pile of gifts under the tree, and then complaining about what you got. Just accept these gifts, and trust that PJ and their crew are making this world a better place with some of the money they have left over as profit.

    HAPPY 20TH!!! I'VE BEEN RIDING THE WAVE THE WHOLE TIME!! all I want to say is, thanks

    No, sir. As always, it doesn't matter what anyone else does. What matters is your post and when you hit Submit, the post better be within the Posting Guidelines. We believe in personal responsibility and you are responsible for your posts - no matter what.

    A 100% increase to get Deep and a single is a gift in your mind?? I don't know where you come from but where I do, a gift is something given free of charge. And it's generally given on time unlike most of the stuff here.

    Kat, do you think that instead of chastising/threatening time outs like we are children, your company could acknowledge not only the unhappy fans but the fact that your president called some of his customers assholes? That to me is more important than people calling each other names and if you didn't notice, people are calling each other these names as a direct result of changes your business decided to make. The pissing matches almost always happen as a result of no communication from your camp.

    Follow the Posting Guidelines or lose posting privileges. Rude comments are never ok and constant negativity becomes trolling after a while and anyone who does it should put a note on their keyboards to monitor their own comments so they aren't doing that. When cautions and warnings fail to reach the individual, sadly, the only recourse left is to ban from the forums. It'll be up to the Ten Club if they also want to remove someone from the fan club in the worst circumstances. Thank you for your cooperation.

    The comments from hopethatuchoke that you quoted posed some insight questions, yet the answer was deflected.

    Simple open dialog would clear up many problems among fans, club members and those who are running the show.

    Communication...it's a good thing.

    Kat,
    why is it you keep talking about forum users posting in improper ways (which is not acceptable, you are absolutely right), but don't mention the statement of the Tenclub president, who insults fans by calling them assholes?
    Two people mentioned this incident in the last posts here, but this seems not to be a problem.

    Doesn't respect and respectful behaviour work both ways?

    You realize you could deflate a lot of this by addressing the problems rather than a case-by-case basis.

    Just saying.

    Come on guys, I understand where you are coming from but Kat moderates the boards to the boards standards. She doesn't moderate Tim. There is no way she could have a comment on that matter. Only Tim can.
