I feel exactly the same way, Cour. Half of the people over there are CHOOSING to remain ignorant about everything, and the other half just don't care. The other night I posted about 15 different messages there with links to this thread. The PMs and responses I got were to the effect of "go back to the Ledge, we don't care about what you have to say, this is OUR board, etc. etc." THEY are the ones making this an "us vs. them" situation when it need not be. The fan club/Todd problems have been ongoing for months now. The facts are out there. They've had every chance to educate themselves, and are choosing to remain ignorant (hoping that they'll also be deemed "safe" and then receive perks like the two sellouts Jackie and Trinity did? Perhaps.) Whatever the reason, it doesn't really matter to me. I don't want any part of them when the **** hits the fan, the Mick board and fanclub are no longer here, and they're forced to come to the Ledge and to the other boards. I won't welcome them.

It seems that the people who post share the same double standards as their leader, Mr Todd.
Someone who posted pics from her show had them stolen and I think they're being sold on Ebay. Everyone on that board is so appalled and feels so badly for the girl. While I am sorry her photos were lifted and are being sold, is this any different than Jonathan Todd STEALING the ENTIRE Penguin Discography? He stole the photos of the albums and ALL of the stats that Marty has been collecting and updating for years. Why weren't those people appalled about that? Why didn't they post to Mr Todd that he was wrong to steal the Peguin discography? While I feel badly that the girl's photos were stolen, why the double standard?
I guess it's alright for their mighty leader to steal from fan sites and cheat fans with the scam of the fanclub, but when one of them has some photos taken, from an internet message board, watch out..it's a huge crime!
Why didn't the pack of rabid dogs jump allover her the way they jumped all over anyone who complained about the fanclub. Why didn't they tell her and the people there who supported her.....
"THERE WERE NO GUARANTEES someone wouldn't steal your photos if you posted them on a message board!!!"
"You should have known this could happen if you posted your pictures on the internet, you should just be grateful you got to see the show, starving children won't get to see Fleetwood Mac and you did!"
"I would have been happy to have the photos and have seen the show, why are you whining that someone took them! You can still look at them, they're not gone forever (unlike our concert seats!)"
As far as I'm concerned, the people who stay on that board and condone what was done to this community by Joanthan Todd cannot expect to come back to the fan sites when Jonathan Todd's sites are closed. They can condone anything Jonathan Todd does to their fellow FM fans, but when some pictures are lifted, all of a sudden it's a crime and the person who stole them should be put in jail. Strange sense of justice, but they're definitely birds of a feather. and they belong together.
