mynameisjonas Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 doesn't sound like him at all. he doesn't do xoxox or sign his name as just 'r', either. it's usually 'richard'. plus, the only time he was a smart ass was when lawerence made fun of the new band and shit.how do you know what i said about the band? you aint seen the emailit was posted at CD.com or htgth. or mabye even here. but i saw it dude. or at least the 1st paragraph.

Rick Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm not sure. I don't know what to think really. I can't seeing Richard knowingly letting people other than himself reply to personal emails - its just not the done thing and can obviously do more harm than good.Its not in his writing style and he hasn't signed in the same way he has every other and also he has replied very quickly.Who knows.R.

supersillyspacemonkey Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 richard seemed kinda hateful of slash actually.i dont think he would have gotten pissed off enough to be sarcastic and an asshole like thataxl doesnt seem that much hateful of him either.i mean apart from his rants about how hard he tried to get him to play NR and whatnot he also kinda complemented him in some interveiws.but richard really has no reason not to like slash or be an arse candle like that.thats what brings me to the conclusion that that was fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 That e-mail was written at 1:53 a.m.Maybe Fortus was up with the baby and decided to answer some of his mail. People can act strangely when they are sleep deprived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The Email is very different from Richard's usual responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketslash Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 LMAO,he kinda sounded pissed offThough ya know,i think Richard wants respect, I mean, think about it, if slash knows and he dosen't, then maybe he feels slash should be in the band instead,it's just really dumb,HERE'S HOPING FOR MARCHwhen it does come out, i'm gonna carve The real release date into kaneda's ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_l Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I must indeed agree whit the one who wrote that it sounds a little like it's Axl who's typing that mail. Anyhow, will be interesting to see how this turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WerderBremen Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Richard needs more than three or four days to answer and he was always very nice to the writer. I don´t think Richard wrote the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madison Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Why doesn't someone just email the webmaster and verify who reads the 4tus@richardfortusonline.com account?Oh - and if the webmaster "fan" is the one answering the emails, he's going to just say "yeah, it's me!" ....

Keepholding your breath man, March is right around the corner.xoxox,rRichard asked me to post these to avoid any confusion over whether or not he wrote them, and so that people could know exactly what he was responding to. Also, to clear up that it is Richard Fortus who reads and answers the e-mails via his interact section at richardfortusonline.com.- Webmaster the official website of richard fortus (If anyone doesn't believe this is the webmaster, feel free to check my email address, or just ask Jarmo. And if in the future there is any confusion over whether or not Richard wrote something, Jarmo knows how to verify it.

Patience 4 Axl Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 After reading the first message I can see why Fortus (or whoever) responded the way they did.But I don't really think it proves Richard did not write the e-mail himself. His tour ended with Nena, nothing much going on with GnR, what else is he doing, besides diaper duty. Really, how many e-mails can he actually get in a day? A few GnR fans that even know he's in the band, and maybe some 'Nsync fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_a_little_patience Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 well, imo, anyone who writes a rude email deserves a rude response back.i know from experience if you write nicely and are respectful, you get that in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_l Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) well, yeah. you get responded according to the way you write/talk, but still, you must be able to say or express opinions/questions that can be hard or uncomfortable whitout people gets pissed at you. jmo.

Shame on him!He didn't post the users e-mail address or real name, just a tag name. Also, this person DID POST an email from Richard, that's kind of a some what private thing, so to question Richard's intentions in this is just ridiculous. He's obviously just trying to clear things up. Yea, good point, i think these emails are all fake. Yes, because all this could be going on without Richards noticing, and he wouldn't like fire the people who ran his site for doing this or anything.

How was Richard trying to "out a member" I just think he didn't like the fact that responses from him were being posted and the questions were not. How would you feel if someone did that to you?
