Ethan, I never thought I'd see myself type this. YOU ARE AN IDIOT! YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE JUST TO PLEASE OTHER PEOPLE! Whats the point? If you like being you and you are comfortable in your own skin, that's all that matters. Sod what everyone else thinks. If they don't like you, they can all go and f*ck themselves sideways. It's their loss if they don't like you. GRRRRRRRR I AM SO ANNOYED AT YOU ETHAN you shouldn't have to change who you are or do anything differently just to please other people. If you are happy then forget what everyone thinks. And to the rest of you, if you don't like what Ethan is posting then don't frigin' read it. No need to be so offensive about it.

Thanks for those words. I'm not changing, I am just thinking more before I post, and toning it down a little bit. NOT changing.

THANK. GOD! Seriously, I know what it feels like to want to change. I did it and well, life is pretty damn good now. But I didn't like who I used to be. If you are happy with yourself and your life, that's all that counts.

i have always like you ethan, you posts don't bother me at all~ actually to me it is refreshing to see younger fans, that stevie still has it & will live on forever because she keeps attracting new fans, & her music will be passed on thru the generations just as it is for other greats~

Ethan, I have defended you many times since you joined this board. You didn't strike the same nerve with me that you clearly did with others.

But it does annoy me that I have many times answered your questions and given advice without any response from you. Not that I needed to be thanked, but at least an acknowledgement would have been nice. And while I can sort of deal with the zillion threads, I don't really know why you interrupt other threads to ask questions that you've already posed in your own thread. For example, asking about Youngstown on sale dates in the Philly thread.

The other issue is that you often start a thread and then don't participate in the discussion. That is textbook behavior of trolls, which is why many people don't believe you are who you say you are. I have to admit, I go back and forth on that one.

And yeah, it's kind of strange that a bunch of adults would get worked up over a 16 year old, but you know if I had to ride a bus every day with the same 16 year old who screamed in their cellphone the entire ride, then I would get really annoyed and probably say something. Being 16 doesn't mean that you can't learn some basic manners.

^ Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for this well-written truthful post, Ryan.

The difference here is that you are allowed to put him on the internet version of mute - the ignore function. But it never fails. The same people complain time after time. And instead of moving on with more important things in their lives, they spend a Saturday evening digging up all his old threads just to start the cycle again.

I have to say...I have not responded to the frenzies of complaints about you, Ethan, but it was this incident that made me think "WTF!?!" and then begin to see what the others are saying.

but on the flipside people.... there is an 'ignore' feature for a reason!!!
if its THAT bad that you need to keep these countless threads burning up with responses of complaints then just USE IT!

Well, like I've said, I am eliminating those instances.... Definately just chilling out.
