Re: lets talk about recent happenings then
That's disrespectful? Look, I understand that Ron has an image, cultivated or genuine, of being a cool dude, and that he's a member here and has in the past graciously answered our questions. I love his contributions to the album and think he's a supremely underrated live performer.
That being said, every single member of this band has had worse things said about them in this forum. Good lord, I think I've said things about Finck that would have me jailed in many middle eastern countries if they were said about a dictator.
Are we treating him differently because of his "status" here? Is that not de facto censorship? We aren't allowed to discuss him in the same manner as others simply because he has a seldom used account at Gnrevo?
Don't get me wrong, this is by far the best Gnr board ever, and I would never compare it to HTGTH or Mygnr, but I question the motivations behind the actions, respectfully.
Re: lets talk about recent happenings then
point taken, my inital thoughts about the "someones in big trouble thread were that it was a one sided slant...i feel that with "all" the threads about this topic in one place that it makes it a more coherant thread, but ould like other opinions before i just reopen it

Re: lets talk about recent happenings then
I never was against the guy for the contents of his post, I was againt him for stating things as factual without backing it up (insider without proof bullshit). I don't think we are on the same page here lol.

Re: lets talk about recent happenings then
Yeah sure, it def makes more sense in the context of the other information, its the stating things as fact with the fake insider slant that is so old.
Not to say its not true, just don't state it as unless you can prove it.
I'm too tired now to think/post straight but I hope you get the gist of what I'm saying.
Re: lets talk about recent happenings then
YEah the annoying thing with that guys post was he appeared to spam all the gnr boards with the same post then disappeared. As you say Irish he posted it like it was factul, but he didn't even bother to hang around to at least answer questions or try and substantiate what he was saying.
It was classic trolling activity which is presumably what added weight to locking the thread. Note also that the thread/post was locked - not deleted, you could still read it. The same post was done at all the other boards but got deleted!

I agree. But we hardly had a chance to press the guy for more info, or to even see if it panned out as true.

......and therein lies the problem.
Like Aussie said, a guy who posts one post in the manner he did and then fucks off deserves no attention.

That's important to note, but everything he said was extremely plausible. Why would all these boards be acting similarly?
Using past evidence and applying Occam's Razor... I'm not so sure he was just a troll.
That being said, it's incredibly douchey and annoying behavior on his part to spam boards and not provide any more information.
