highvoltage Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Nice work, HV. I think this proves how much better discussing these issues openly is than suppressing them. Deleting posts left and right makes it look like you guys have something to hide. Discussion allows us to see what's up.Actually I was trying to explain why the posts were deleted in the first place.I agree explaining things openly with people wherever possible is the best option, but as I've stated numerous times: in most cases, it's just not that easy. Seeing as I spent so long today trying to explain that, it might be worth your while going back through and reading all the posts again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleting posts causes shitstorms and speculation. Discussion and explanation brings things to light. If you guys don't have time, then better to leave grey area posts alone. It's not like you've deleted mention of Sasha being an escort in this thread. Rather, you've engaged in discussion about it, when you had the time, and helped clarify some things. Nothing said about Sasha in that other thread was out of control. Most of it was, "Is she an escort?" Not a big fuckin' deal. It's a job. A creepy job, but a job. It could have waited for your detailed response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 According to the Daily Mail, Sasha was engaged to some guy called Dan MacMillan in 2010 but they split in 2011. The article also mentions that she said she was spending summer 2012 in Ibiza, the Hamptons and Malibu.Which is probably where Warchild got her info and then spun that elaborate story.I was gonna just comment about the same thing. How Sasha was engaged to Dan Macmillan (heir to Macmillan publishing) who spends a lot of time partying in both London and Ibiza. Seems (based on your understanding) that she was spending time between both Mailbu and Ibiza and we also know that she was in London with Axl when GNR did shows there. My guess is that she is 'friends' with Axl and the GNR camp, but also perhaps still 'friends' with Dan, since she has spent a fair bit of time recently where he does. I doubt Axl would be investing a lot emotionally in someone who perhaps 'plays the field'.But then on page 2 this thread took a much more interesting turn.........

It could have waited for your detailed response.It's been quite a revealing day, best on the boards for a while I think.I think it's alot easier for straight members like us to be fundamentalists. In running the show the mods have got to be practical too, so in reality there's got to be some compromise.It's not perfect, but being familiar with the mygnr team eases much of the concern. They've got form, and it's good. Think of how any other board would've treated this discussion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 So can I just create an account and start taking down Metallica videos?Is this happening due to shitty GNR management that has no idea what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have waited for your detailed response.Ah, but I didn't know that it was warchild who started this particular rumour until after we were deleting discussion about it. You're missing that point...The point is that in these cases, we don't know who is making these kinds of claims to begin with or what agenda they might have... so don't be surprised that we're going to continue to remove future speculation about band member's personal lives.If it's something said in an interview, fine, but if the subject matter of a thread is "Is Frank a Switch Hitter?" or "Is Sasha Volkova an escort", expect that type of thread to disappear. I am engaging in the discussion to explain why we delete these kinds of posts in the first place. If you're suggesting I should do this every time we delete that kind of thread, I feel you're going to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dariablue Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Wasn't this actually proven? I seem to remember there being a link to her escort service and her picture being there.Still don't think warchild and Tabitha27 are the same person.

magisme Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 @HVFair enough. I actually don't give much of a shit about their personal lives. I got pissed cuz I thought we were past the mass deletions in threads. Russ has been a pretty great mod after the first bumpy week or so, IMO, and I was afraid he was reverting back to a style I thought was detrimental to the forum.Since we're opening up about things and addressing rumors, can you speak to the speculation going around the forums that you enjoy the taste of kangaroo cock from time to time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Paradise Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I think Axl and Sasha had an affair around 2006, 2007 and then they became just friends. Ithink this rumor about the escort services are bullshit. Doesn't make much sense to me.After Seymour, no woman will ever be enough for Axl...And why is that?1. She is beautiful but there are way prettier women then her (Erin is WAY prettier then her)... Her body was a 10 there is no question about that but her face, not so much.2. She just seems so materialistic and shallow...But it will be hard to find a woman at 50 who isn't using Axl for his fame and/or fortune....Never understood why some people don't find Stephanie's face beautiful.How something like that isn't beautiful enough?She is gorgeous, and I think she was important in Axl's life but is crazy someone thinks he is still in love with her.Ps: I find Erin pretty too Edited October 16, 2013 by Miss Paradise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
