I'm still very much a fan, just a calmer one. :laugh: I can't believe I still remember my login here. Jeez, so many memories!

woooooooaaah are you the same sararhiannon that ran sararhiannon.com for years back in the day? with one of the best photo and demo lyric archives that really has never been matched since!? I used to spend hours on that site.

(psssh...for all those who think Im some stevie basher, put that in your pipe and smoke it lolol)

For example: I find your posts compelling, but not in the way you probably think. I find them compelling because for someone who posts so often on this forum, you contribute very little in the way of valuable content! In fact, part of me wants to believe that you're the original beta test for all of the trolls which now pepper the internet; because, sometimes I can't believe some of the crap you come up with! Of course, I joke -- you're all too real. But, you see, Jondalar, that's the problem. So am I calling you a "chimp"? No, I think that would be giving you too much credit.

You’re my new hero!

Then it is not my fault in any way that the place has turned into a cesspool.

Uh you made it pretty clear from the beginning of this thread who you were pointing fingers at, it definitely wasn't yourself!

"It is not Stevie, it is the quality of the posts here. The board has been really really ugly since the firing and many people have been trolled away. Plus who wants to log on and read the same sh!t over and over about how evil she is and how precious a victim Lindsey is? Every hour of every day for over a year?"

The truth might hurt, but that is a pretty accurate assessment. I’m not even especially a Stevie fan, but I cringe at some of the comments thrown her way.

BigAl84 04-15-2019 11:21 PM

Actually there are a lot of terms thrown her way that I too would never feel the need to use, especially in a public forum. Makes me cringe as well.

Then why not call them out?

Because I'm an adult. I know that policing this forum for everything that may be offensive to somebody is not a war im going to win and it will only derail conversatioms further causing more off topic arguments. Im not excusing it, Im not saying its ok. However, the more attention those remarks get, I think it just provides more fuel for people to say more. People say stuff to get attention.

Ive already been accused of being a hater and flat out asked to leave this stevie nicks forum because I had an opposing view without calling anyone names.

Ha, yes, that was me! I would kill to have that kind of free time these days. :laugh: I don't even remember what happened with the website back then. I think I probably got especially busy with work at one point, then just kinda moved on. It's cool to see that this board has stood the test of time though!

BigAl84 04-16-2019 12:51 PM

I know you put a ton of work into that site, thank you!

That's exactly what I was going to say. Certain posts are designed to get a reaction. If you don't react, eventually they decrease. Best thing to do if something really rubs you the wrong way is to ignore it, and if it is someone who repeatedly posts things that cause you to feel that way, block them.

No one suggested it was your fault. It is not even your concern.

With Lindsey’s firing, that ratcheted up 1000x and there is no room for any thoughtful discussion. You either hate Stevie and the current iteration of the band or you were never a true FM fan.

Exactly, everything’s become an extreme and people have become very reactive. “Normal” discussion is pretty much dead lol. That and the fact that message boards in general have been on the decline thanks to Facebook groups, Twitter, Instagram etc.

the people on the ledge killed it for me.
