Your point? I came here after getting banned from Mick's site like twenty other current posters, yet that has no bearing on this conversation one bit. In case you've forgotten, our conversation is about people who come here, don't like it, yet don't pipe up. I piped up on Mick's board (and was subsequently banned) and I pipe up on this board quite infrequently. When I see threads being locked for silly reasons or being deleted (unjustifiably in the past, IMO), it reminds me of that ****ty board over on Mick's site, which this place isn't. If you don't think I should say such things, all I can say is tough tacos.
When I joined, I didn't just use this place to complain, I used it to discuss the band, something you have rarely, if ever, done. Hell, I never even started one of the threads about Mick's board that you're currently fixated on. 
Again, what bearing does this have in the dialogue that the two of us are having? None. |
I've been posting for 3 days, I'm sorry my on-topic conversations aren't up to some people's expectations. I'm sure the first 3 days you got here your posts were not only about the fanclub problems and Mick's site, you jumped into 20 other converstations those first days and had a respectable amount of on-topic conversations to your credit. I'll try to live up to your example.
I brought up the people who did not post on this forum about the fanclub problems because in spite of their
non participation, this fan community was interested in them signing the petition and wanted their support to stand up against what they thought was wrong. The people who were posting did not say just because they don't post here what they feel about what was happening to this community is irrelevant.
You told me the following

Why should anyone care what they think unless they post? Sounds pretty easy to understand.
Honestly, if people aren't going to stop lurking and come post, no one really cares what they think, I would imagine. If you're not an active participant, you have no right to complain

The relevance to your posts and the fanclub is, if the only people who signed the petitions were the 20 people you claim came here and started posting, I'm willing to bet Sabremark would still be running things. Why was anyone interested in what those 400 or so other people thought if they weren't willing to fight for months out in the open and post about it? If they weren't an active participant and weren't willing to stop lurking and come post about the fanclub, according to your statements we shouldn't have cared what they thought about the fanclub or what happened to this community because of it.
I never said you shouldn't speak up about Mick's site, I commend you and anyone else who stood up and took down the fanclub whether they did that in public on this board or by supporting the movement behind the scenes.
You and I obviously have a difference of opinion about a few things. I don't wish to censor you and I hope you do not wish to censor me or anyone else about what they feel they'd like to discuss on this board, whether they arrived 5 minutes ago or 5 yrs ago. I'd like to end this and agree to disagree and spare everyone what is becoming a very difficult and tedious argument.
