Fascists!!! Mods, not gods...

[shockadow]

[size=20]It seems wierd to me that a thread in which we have had very spirited discussions has been removed.  There was very little mean spirit and no porn so i'm missing the reasoning.  Maybe whoever decided that they no longer liked the topic can elaborate on why it was taken down.  I had posed a valid question an I came here this morning looking for some dialog.  Some snapppy retorts.  There is plenty of space on this board so I guess I'll have to be the Michael Moorer of this board and point out the inequities and improprioties as much as i hate that douche.  I got my eye on you guys... :o :o :o[/size]

I think it was removed partly because of some of the distasteful pictures that got posted a day or two ago. WEIRD eh?

Hey shockadow, that thread was actually accidentally deleted. Only meant to delete one or two post with some name calling but those darn delete buttons are just so close together. Try to get a feel for this forum before you start shouting about fascists, you'll find we're all a friendly bunch, even the gods. What was your valid question?

ps. moving this to off-topic.

Uh, yeah.  Unlike the U.S., this isn't a democracy.  More like an enlightened psuedo dictatorship.  See "Sorry Guys" for more details.

And...to wit, for God's sakes, will you stop shouting?  Internetting protocol has been around since, what, 1993?  Big fonts and/or all caps is equal to shouting.  No wonder you haven't gotten any "snapppy retorts".  

I've got one:  either start using a dictionary, or spell check, or have your mommy check your spelling for you or something.  Christ, it's like we're reading Hannah Montana's MySpace page.  LOL.  Not 2 b a h8tr, but damn.

[shockadow]

Well, now that it's being taken completely out of context, I was wondering about whether or not the band might have included leaking this album 2 months early as part of the marketing plan.  It seems that since these guys work in this industry, they probably know how to manipulate it.  
Regardless, I enjoyed the thread that was deleted and think it was an intentional choice by mods to delete it.  Albiet an "accidental" deletion as you so "tounge in cheek"ly said...  
I betcha Jim didn't like how his butt looked in that picture.  That's the real reason.  Fess up!!

I'm strugglin' here, guys.  I wanna be nice but it's seeming to be a tough go.  I think my posts have been frank and thoughtful and nice but i'm strugglin' to find my way.

CC is a moderator and I believe him.

I don't know how to do that stuff as i don't devote a bunch of time to these things.  It does seem like you are arguing the semantics of my posts rather than the point, though.  I don't even know what you mean when you say that i'm shouting.  I'm typing and the size of my font really shouldn't matter to you.  What if i can't see too well and i need to blow it up to see it?  That isn't the case but there are a bunch of buttons right above the reply box that gives the poster the ability to make his/her post unique.  I didn't realizes that it bothered people so badly to individualize these posts.  What happened to the individuality?  Does anyone remember laughter?

PS. On a real note...  My mom is dead, cocksucker.

When they found out it was leaked they called me right away to check for and delete any download links on this forum. This band is all about creating wonderful music and they have no interest at all in shady business like you described above. Trust me.

Again, you're wrong.

I'm strugglin' here, guys.  I wanna be nice but it's seeming to be a tough go.  I think my posts have been frank and thoughtful and nice but i'm strugglin' to find my way.  

Just hang on, you're getting nicer already...

PSS-  the US is a Republic, not a democracy.  I'll use a dictionary.  you use a history book.

Tell that to folks in Florida.

[shockadow]

The BAND doesn't probably get too involvedin promotion as it'sd not their responsibility but the RECORD COMPANY might...  I just saw how impossible it was to find the new Black Crowes album before it's release date because they didn't make it available to anyone until that day.  Seems simple enough if that's what you actually want to do...  
Obviously, if you send the record out to a bunch of reviewers, someone is gonna upload it.

CC Baxter-  you are my new friend.

Have you heard the music coming out of Florida??

2 words...

Limp Biscuit

They deserve whatever they get.......

[Jaimoe]

I was implying the "questionable" vote-counting process in Florida. And Greg and Duane Allman formed the Allman Brothers in Florida.

[shockadow]

And Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tom Petty but...

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FO ME LATELY???

Postscript-  The Allman's moved to Macon Ga, as fast as possible, too.  Being from Ga.,  i'll fight Florida for the rights t the Allmans.  I'll give up the B-52s in exchange.

1.  I'm not going to do your homework for you;  read up on "internet etiquette" and you'll know what I speak of.  You are shouting when you type in all caps or large fonts.  It's not "individuality" per se, it's just RUDE.   People will not respect your point of view in real life if you stand in a room and START SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET YOUR POINTS ACROSS, so why would they read the equivalent of shouting without becoming offended by your crass, uniformed rudeness?

2.  When one has little or nothing to say in a discussion that is relevant, they resort to tactics like "You're just arguing the semantics of my post...." blah blah blah.  You have used that tactic several times, it's more tired than Wilford Brumley climbing a flight of stairs.  Maybe, just maybe if you had something less asinine to say in all fucking caps, we could debate in a civil way like real life adult human beings do.  If you can't grasp that extremely simple, easy to digest point, I'm sorry.  Nobody shouts at one another in real life and gets respect, and nobody whose essential point is "I don't give a flying rat's ass what the band says" gets respect, either.  Allow me to retort:  It's not like the band send a memo that said "Hey, internet using asshole copyright thieves, don't fucking steal our music, you lowlife shitheels", they asked very politely and nicely not to utilize the leak, and you're just pissing in the waterfountain.  Why?  Why would anyone who knows and loves this band have such a shitty outlook?  Why??  These guys are probably some of the nicest, kindest, loveable human beings to ever play music, IMHO, and you have nothing but contempt and/or spite for their wishes.  That sucks.

3.   You've got me there, I didn't know about yer momma.  Sorry.

I have a feeling an Allman Brothers thesis is coming.  Be prepared...

I'm glad they moved to Macon. No thesis coming from this "old drummer".

[shockadow]

Sorry, dude.  I didn't know that large fonts equated shouting.  I just like big green letters.  I certainly wasn't shouting intentionally but i guess my naivity to the situation made me look like i was.  Again, i'm sorry.  I don't want anyone thinking i suck any more than i do in real life.  I'm just a bit of a contrarian and like to discuss things.  I hope you think that's cool.  It's better than topics about "what are your favorite colored underware".  

One point...  Why should true fans of the band be the only one's to be punished into waiting an extra 2 months when everyone else can appreciate it now?  I can't follow the reasoning.  Is there a master plan that we aren't enlightened to or is it something else?  Also, as mods, haven't you guys already heard the album since you're so tight with the band?  It seems plausible to me but i've been wrong before...  today, as a matter of fact!

Hey!  I'm a senior member, now!!!  SWEET!!!

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

No worries.  ;)

c'mon mr. baxter, you don't need to be so modest.  we all know your secret identity.  

p.s.  i got another google alert about you this morning - with this attached:
