I have to agree with you that the Ledge is certainly a place where fans are just fans with a like-minded love for a great rock band.

Fascist is the right word. And if I didn't experience it first hand I'd have a hard time believing it. I think moderaters and guy who runs it get off by being in control, and exerting power.
Recently he pulled this bull crap where the common folk (the starless posters) would be granted access to a certain download --- only if each of us showed him appreciation by replying to him and saying something to the effect of "Thank you sir for being so kind to let me have this." I kid you not!
He doesn't own the rights to any of the material, yet he feels the exclusive right to withhold it...for what?
