Why I like coming here

DavidMn · #1 02-07-2006, 12:39 PM

I was reading DrummerDeanna's thread, and while I realize she had her reasons for not wanting to come here anymore and I respect them, I wanted to present an alternative opinion. I've been on here now for about 9 months and yeah, there have been some ups and downs, but I really enjoy the back and forth of the various individuals here. Can people be opinionated sometimes, sure. But it's never been enough to make me not want to come here. I have alot of **** going on in my life right now, and this place has been an oasis of calm in my life. People like Suzequze and Btflchild and others have become my good friends and been more than kind to me and offered me good advice on how to deal with what I'm dealing with. I believe the moderators are doing the best they can. I'm not in anyway saying Deanna doesnt have legitimate reasons for being upset, it's just that sometimes things that upset some people dont upset others. Moderators have to balance that out. I love coming here, and I'm not going anywhere.

Ah yes crew. Hey btw, you remember Pacawn? I talked to Jeff yesterday, and he told me Jay lives in Texas now. Good to hear that.

David, your posts always make me smile

Since I work from home, The Ledge is my connection to the outside world. That's scary

Yeah he had to get out of NO in a hurry, but he's pretty settled where he is now. I hope someday he can go back.

I love coming here because of the people. It's close-knit (usually) and most of the regular members have been together a while. Having been here for 3 years, I've seen a lot of people come and go, but I've been lucky to become very good friends with a lot of them. That's what matters most to me.

Like John Lennon says "Whatever gets you thru the night."

I love coming here because when Stevie farts, I know about it FAST. LOL

Seriously though- I do get a lot of info from the Chit Chat threads. So many people that post here are so damned articulate and thought provoking, and I really appreciate that.

This is sooo true too. I love knowing the latest Stevie rumours before anyone else.

And also, a side note: Thank you to whoever gave me the presale password two years ago for the FM shows. Ahh, the benefits of The Ledge.

I come here because if there's anything about Fleetwood Mac you people don't know, then it's not worth knowing. My enjoyment of the music has been greatly increased by the extra knowledge I have gained here, so that's it!

I come here because I'm addicted to seeing my total post count rise.
