Ya know,


To me, everyone on the Interweb is a 18 year old, nubile, hottie with a dysfuntional family...

Never gave it a minute's more thought.

I'm actually 23, but you are correct to presume I am a hottie with a dysfunctional family.

Quote---too much estrogen lol 8-)
What does that mean?
It seems as offensive as any cursing to me.

People, don't you all forget this is a place with 5000 different opinions. You will never get along with everybody, it's just not gonna happen. You really shouldn't get worked up about things written on a forum. Discuss, ofcourse, discodance, ofcourse, but I sometimes get the feeling people are actually losing sleep over stuff that goes down here. That's silly. Every now and then someone will come along to purposely stir shit up. Some will learn. Some will be history, sooner or later. Agree, disagree. Dance, discodance.

I am here to speak my mind, but if some think I am harsh,
then it's noted. I will keep that in mind. But, I have a hard
time believing some here actually get their feelings hurt,
however, I won't rule that out. If I feel that happens, I will
usually PM you to check in, and you know who you are b/c
I actually do that. I have no problem backing off, if I offend.

Some of you want to play the victim; If on 1 thread you're
dissing all female musicans and making sexists comments,
yet you're offended that I challenge your grammar, then I can't
help you. I think you can handle it. But if I am wrong, let me
know via PM.

But if I apologize to you 3 times (which has happened here) and you won't accept, then I cannot help you.

Some of you remember Ratsprayer (Dave). He and I went at
each other tooth and nail, but through PM's and seeing each other at a
show, we came to a mutual respect and we still keep in touch.
I don't recall which one of us reached out, but it happened, and
we have each other's backs, even though we disagree on many
subjects.



I challenge everyone to check themselves and quit blaming
everyone else for the decline of this forum and I will do the
same.

Be safe
Be well
See you on the rail

Peace

I purposely didn't get involved in the crap around here lately because I think its pointless.  This is an anonymous forum and only a select few here will ever actually meet in person--because they want too.  I personally am very much against the actions of those who snatched up leak copies of the new disc, against the band's wishes, and would have relished ATO suing them for copyright infringement--but that's just my old fashioned-ness.
Everyone would do weel to get over themselves and get back to heaping love on our spectacular band.
Sittin' here with me and mine.  All wrapped up in a bottle of wine.

2 things.....

1.  If you are looking to be offended, you will be.  We don't need those kind of prople bogging down this forum.


2.  ANY picture of Celine Dion totally fucking offends me and you should be ashamed for posting it.

Tracy(i thought you were a girl, sorry),
I can take anything you wanna give me but the comment about women playing skin flutes was a joke.    Albiet crass, I thought that making a correlation between musical instruments and a skin"flute" would be percieved as hilarious.  Guess i'm just learnin' my way around here.  I am still sorry that EC(whoever) got offended and left the forum.  We are stronger when we have each other to rely on and when a huge figure like her or Dylan leaves, we all suffer.

This is one of the best band forums there are.  I frequent many and i prefer to hang out here and @ the Ween forum.  I betcha it's only gonna get better, too!

I love you guys!!!  I'm buyin' beers @ the Fox show!!!

There's a big difference between "being offended" and being offensive. I get my hackles up with the latter, and it usually has nothing to do with music or MMJ.

True, offensive behaviour is not a quality be proud of. Not all moves will be tolerated, unless we're talking discodance.

Can we stop all this?  If only just so I don't have to look at Celine Dion anymore.  

Seriously, I am high on forum love right now.  Don't ruin my buzz.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

One more look at Celine for BH. You should be thankful no one posted a family picture that includes her really really creepy husband/manager Rene Angelil. Ah hell, why not...

yo. you people think you got it bad? I can't even make fun of faith hill or john mc-fucking-cain without people getting bitchy. good thing I am an insensitive person with a sense of self-worth or I would have headed for the hills too.  I make the choice to come on and air my opinions- not to inflame anyone, just cause it is my prerogative as a person who pays for internet service, just like everyone else here- and I have enough sense to realize that not everyone is going to agree with them.
besides the time I talked shit about music reviewers- like two years ago, and I stand by that shit- I don't think I have ever personally attacked anyone. I dis concepts and celebrities.
I am not trying to get 'in' with the crowd. I just love the band and the music. they are hard-core individualists and goofballs. like me. not that I know then personally- and prolly will hear some shit about 'how dare I assume that the band are goofballs when I don't know them like other fans know them, blahdity blah'...cripes. what a fucking joke. just like all of those hippier than thou types, where you gotta apologize for combing your damn hair, showering, and having a job. sorrrrrreeeee.

thanks for bringing that up, b/c that is one of the things I am drawn to about MMJ, their sensibility to be goofy; be it Jim James showering the crowd with peeps, or having a conductor in a tuxedo perform with them for an entire show, Jim's rants about this and that, them taking our FREE CRACK sign on tour, performing on Conan in Mardi Gras masks and it goes on and on and on...

I agree and that's a big reason I love them so much is b/c they're not these brooding rock stars who are all serious, they just have a good time and work really, really hard at doing it their own way.

thanks!  

and about Faith Hill, did you really feel I got bitchy with you? (I mean, I thought the tampon reference was in bad taste, but I said nothing in retaliation). I live in nashville and people were pretty up in arms about her "freak out" when she did not win that award and I was just setting the record straight. She was just trying to have fun and she got flamed for being misunderstood. That's all. Just her way of being goofy. Sorry if me setting the record straight came across as bitchy (I guess you never know  :-/)

your bitchiness- which is mild to moderate, btw- is one thing that I personally enjoy about this whole popsicle stand... fyi,otr,omg! I just hate to make statements and then not back them up. like saying, 'you're always lying to me!' and then not being able to come up with one specific example<--pet peeve. it WAS a good example, no?
on a less self-centered note: faith hill needs to know that there are people- other than mr. mcgraw, that is- who defend her honor so gallantly. does she have a forum?
thanks for caring, though. srsly. ignore my sarcasm 'cause I mean that.  I suddenly have this warm and fuzzy feeling. wait, no, that's the booze.

oh, one more thing: tampons are an integral part of our society. poor taste? perhaps. but necessary all the same.
from now on I will make luna cup references.

QuoteWhen the album leaked, this board saw dozens of people register here for the sole purpose of stealing the band's new album. Some of them even had the gall to criticize the work. Obviously, that wore on everyone here and rightfully so.

wow. i gotta stop going to work. i miss all the good shit....who's gonna read this now?? it's on the third page!!

anyway....the above quote is really the biggest thing that should be looked at regarding this ongoing debate.

the leak, and the subsequent jerk-offs who joined for a day, are ultimately to blame here. They fanned the flames of emotion, and subsequently the new folks-- those intent on staying around and really joining the community-- were not privy to the way this board has resolved its internal issues in the past (well, most of them anyway). I've seen some of these new people be contrite and apologetic, which is great, but somehow it feels too little too late; if only because the road to repair was too winding, and too many seniors are gone. Hopefully I'm way wrong about that.

And Mr./Ms Anonymous-- your post is completely invalid in my eyes until you reveal who you are.

just my peace. Nobody really knows me anyway, and people rarely respond to me....but hey.....i'm passionate about this place and just had to chime in.


;)
....as mayor of Drugachusettes, I declare this pizza to be...AWESOME!!!

Thanks for asking.
