Is there a "We Apologize, FM77!" thread?
 
I'm one of the few waiting for the CD and booklet and "My Heart" sequenced in, so I'm tip toe-ing through threads~ certainly not all Pez-head-snapping/frothing-at-the-mouth histrionic about "Spoilerz!!!" I'm smart enough and tricky enough (thank you, Stevie, 1991!) to visit here and keep album information from my eyes, while still allowing others to freely enjoy their own threads and excitement without censure. :rolleyes:

But, from what little I have gleaned, it appears FM77 was right about that line he quoted from one of the new songs, correct?

So, where are the apology posts to him? In the album discussion threads? If so, I'll read them later on, once I've digested the album and booklet and lyrics. Just wondering how others reacted to his vindication...

FM77 was right about everything... that the album started with Secret Love, etc. I definitely think FM77 is owed an apology from the rabid piranha zealot fans that shredded him to pieces. :laugh:

BombaySapphire3 04-28-2011 06:10 PM

I apologized the day that the official track list went up and I saw that "Secret Love" was the album opener.:shocked:

mikebise 04-28-2011 06:10 PM

Thank you for the confirmation!

I always said my intuition said he was on the level.

CADreaming 04-28-2011 06:10 PM

Someone did mention (buried in another thread) that FM77 is indeed owed an apology. And, I'm also thrilled because it means Stevie has an iPad (for those who missed the posts he said she loves her photo app!) :thumbsup:

It's obvious that FM has friends on this website, but he is not getting an apology from me. If he heard the album, he did NOT provide any CRUCIAL information about it. Plus, he called us names. He was here to say, ha ha, I heard the album, but you didn't. That's basically what it came down to.

Some of us RABID fans don't want our emotions played with.

There's Debbie Downer! I've been looking all over for you! :p:laugh:

BombaySapphire3 04-28-2011 06:21 PM

Well I was the one he/she specifically called "La Douche".:lol:It is obvious now that FM did hear the album back in Dec.The main problem is that this person is not really a hardcore fan and had little to no knowledge of demos combined with maybe a not so good of sense of recall.That is what set us rabid fans off IMO.

I would think most of us are friends here.

And I'm pretty sure a post search would make crystal clear who called names at who first.

I always took him as a guy who heard the album and shared what he could remember. Nothing more than that going on that I caught in his posts.

And I am just as RABID as you are. :]

Agreed :nod:

Eh. FM77 posted a lot of accurate stuff, but, he denied that Lady From The Mountain was on the album after having lyrics posted and everything. Considering Moonlight basically IS Lady From The Mountain... Although there's no doubt that some were a bit overly-harsh, it's not as if it was brutal. :laugh:

mikebise 04-28-2011 08:30 PM

"They call me Lady Bump!
Lady Bump ~ it's no lie..."

FM77 deserves thanks for sharing what he could remember. :wavey:

I'm glad I stood up for him. Although I defended him and got bashed for doing so.

Thank you FM77. I appreciate the bits of information you provided while we waited patiently for this album.

For someone who only listened to the cd, you had a lot to remember!

It's not a frickin cell phone either! She's as sly as a fox that's the mayor of Foxtown!

jellyman10 04-29-2011 01:28 AM

I always thought FM77 rang true, as well. :angel:

LorraineRN 04-29-2011 01:37 AM

I had the sneaking suspicion that FM77 was for real too. My question is though, How did he get to listen to the tracks in December and How does he know she has an IPad? Whats his connection to her? :shrug:

BrownEyedGirl26 04-29-2011 07:57 AM

Where is FM77?
 
I've noticed an absence of FM77 lately. If your lurking FM77 and your feelings have been hurt, may I take this opportunity on behalf of "most" of the ledge community to say sorry! I miss your "impassioned" posts! :sorry:

BrownEyedGirl26 04-29-2011 08:27 AM

No I don't know the user. I have been "lurking" for a very long time and have been reading his/her posts during this time. I have enjoyed his/her enthusiasm! :)

:laugh: she's crazy like one too.

Silver Springs 04-29-2011 08:51 AM

Just going keep my nose out of it. Clearly there's more to it than I first thought. Knee jerk reaction at its best, obviously. Sorry.

Josh2003 04-29-2011 09:42 AM

I demand to see FM77's birth certificate before I ever consider apologizing.

In all seriousness, I believed him/her from the beginning, and I'm glad that s/he has been vindicated.

mikebise 04-29-2011 09:54 AM

What's with all the deleted posts in the other FM77 thread?

Well, at least he's been vindicated! I hope he realizes not everyone thought he was a scammer.

That was my fault. I made assumptions about the situation and responded in a knee jerk fashion.

Bryan 04-29-2011 10:09 AM

Ha! I'm so glad this thread exists.It shows a lot about internet forum etiquette,and how jealousy and suspicion will always reign,and suddenly people get their shallow piece of truth and turn apologetic.
I am truly horrified.
These things should be used in research 'cos they are truly fascinating behavioural examples

Eh, if anything this thread shows that people here are willing to say "I was wrong" which to me is something rare in people in general.

Stevie's music heals us all!

Someone just told me about this thread--not sure how I missed it but thanks to all who were cool to post kind words. I appreciate it. Hope you all are enjoying the record.

mikebise 05-10-2011 03:34 PM

Well, thanks for all your scoop beforehand! We appreciate it!
