D-GenerationX Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 There are lots of forums I don't like. I don't visit them.I love this forum I just don't like bitter ex-fans that come here day after day after day just to spread negativity. I'm really not a Beiber fan, do you think I cupcake his fan forums daily? Isn't the devil's advocate position that you could always find another forum more suited to your beliefs? Perhaps there is another GNR forum out there that caters to the fans of the current line-up with no time for dissension from fans of the old line-up. Let me think, let me think, let me think.....well, I can't think of one right now, but one has to be out here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) DJ has a way bigger fan base and reach than what people here like to believe.So does Bieber. What's your point?Point that people have been bashing DJ for the last few pages and I think it's unjust. Sad really...Mike: I agree, not selling BBF short. He is an asset to GNR....it seems like a few people on here only stir up shit and complain about every single thing this band does and want them to fight with eachother and fall apart...in which case why are you here...It isn't your place, or anyone else's for that matter, to tell other users they shouldn't be here because they have a different opinion from yours.Russ it's not about opinions anymore. It's ridiculous the type of crap you guys let happen.And I am the one that gets warnings I like Russ and all but it's no secret that he doesn't like DJ (which is fine as everyone should have an opinion - but it does create a bias).

It's ridiculous the type of crap you guys let happen.And I am the one that gets warnings I like Russ and all but it's no secret that he doesn't like DJ.Meaning what? That I allow insulting of DJ and not other members? I guess I see that as where the line is blurry between opinions and insulting for no reason. Judgement calls are part of the moderator job. When someone posts something like "$la$h" or "lolribfest" or whatever, to me, that's obvious trolling and insulting. When someone posts something about DJ playing a solo wrong or not liking his prior work, it comes off as more of an opinion from what I can tell. To use Slash for an example again; I've posted many times about things I don't like about Slash's output since he's left GN'R in the Slash section. No one seems to get all worked up or call me a troll over it because I post the how's & why's of what I think which encourages discussion as opposed to just insulting him for no reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sense of humour and can take a joke but it gets tasteless after a while.In regards to your comment about forum wars, I don't agree with the accusation (frankly, I'm a little insulted). Just because I post on multiple boards doesn't mean I'm trying to bring down this one.Edit: To be completely transparant, I tried to drive some traffic to Atlas Shrugged (smaller forum that is geared to Axl nutters as you would say) but that thread, in Aint It Fun, was mysteriously deleted with no explanation to me. I don't care either way but it would have been nice to get a nagging PM from whoever deleted it. Edited March 4, 2014 by Coma16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 That'll be a banned for you. Hope you enjoyed your 34 posts.When idiots from other forums come her to try to spread shit, it really makes me feel like they must be unhappy in their lives. It's for comments like this. Yeah, I don't agree with alangarciagnr on this matter and side more with niceguy, but it's presumptuous to jump to conclusions that people come from other forums, etc. I know it happens, and I can't blame you for being paranoid about it, but at the end of the day, some people just post here, only infrequently.Whatever, less forum drama and more new music is what we need. Then we can spend our days lamenting how Axl wiped Finck's SRV-style solo for a sloppy generic DJ one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
