Wall of Mouths

I was ‘contacted’ after the graham saga unfolded by someone in t? circles.
not gonna say who or what it was about, but it was a little curious at the time. Overall it was no big deal,(well not to me anyway!), just something that happened and planted a few question marks in my mind.

we have a saying round these parts,

‘everything in moderation,…including moderation’.

As regards the impression i have that comments seen as negative to therapy? are censored for negative reasons,
I feel its a subtle ‘emotional’ thing rather than an administrative policy, and so i give you the benefit of the doubt. I have no problem with members disagreeing with any analysis, good or bad , indeed its totally nessasary, but i really dislike seeing posts ‘deleted’.
thats just me, right or wrong.

Would i be wrong in suggesting that the action of deleting the relevant post was your frustration of seeing this topic arise again?, or the fact that you simply decided it was off topic and as you would with any topic, you applied the guidelines without bias?

Like i said earlier, the message board is a great achivement, any band/organisation would be proud to have a forum like it, but one last question, do the band members or managment ever ask to have ‘sensitive information’ kept out of the public domain or hushed up?
I ask this because of a communication i recieved after I informed the message board that graham had quit therapy?.

Lastly in my arnie reference, I had the characters of the terminator or predator more in mind rather than the man himself. (kinda like me imagining you saying, “hasta la vista post!” and then zapping it). Wry humour was intended, not insults.

its probably best if i stick to the chit chat board then.

Keeping order is fine, and indeed this message board is one of the finest i’ve come across online.
Teethgrinder I think your making a jump too far to construe that my arnie remarks are a personal attack on you. If i wanted to be personal i would be blunt, but i have no reason to be and i wont. Youre doin a great job.

However i do sometimes feel on this site that its okay to talk about the good things about t? but as soon as any critism starts then its shut up time on this site. As someone who has paid money to see t?, bought albums, singles, merchandise, and booked flights for a gig confirmed on this site and subsequently cancelled, i reserve the right to be critical if i see grounds for it. That includes the T? members, and in relation to the the song again&again/stay happy, i think its valid to point out how Fyfe ‘in my opinion’ sounded better. And also that T? are less of a band without him. I think in this context of the song and conversation about it, it is not off topic or thread.

As for good conversation and threads i am of the opinion that diversity and changing subject matter is neccesary for conversation to retain its vitality and dynamic. Like in real life. Thus i would encourage a little loosing of implmentation of guidelines, it would be boring if all we ever talked about was which T? item is the best? which is your favorite, polls, favorite gigs etc…

If every topic is regimented into its own box, then after a short time there’s nothing left to talk about.
