And ?
I have to say I agree with DV here, people should be able to say what they want without being frowned upon. It is fair to say this forum has a large circle of TD fans(probably 85% of the board) who are on the same wavelength. "barmy army,clique"...whatever you want to call it but there are other fans who just want to come onto the TD forum and and talk about TD related things and not get involved with the barmy army stuff.
I like to think I am impartial as I don't really want to get involved in any of that stuff but I have noticed over the past few weeks certain peoples posts(no names) either get completely ignored, comments get drowned away with barmy army nonsense or it just gets frowned on.
I have to admit some of the barmy army stuff grates me a bit, I am sure most of you are cool people who I could have a beer with and get on ok with but I don't know I am starting to feel this board is getting an "us and them" type of mentality and I don't really like it. I have never been part of a forum where it so obvious. It is like "if you don't follow our behaviour your comments are worthless".
it would be really cool if everyone on here was treated with the same sort of respect. I have been guilty of being a bit short with a certain member of this forum in the past but someone made a comment to me and I took it on board, and actually he was right, I was being a bit of a twat.
Anyway I am stopping here, I just wanted to get it off my chest....not everyone is barmy army but they still love TD.
Respect
Dont talk to me about respect Matthew....ive emails saved in my box over a two year period that are quite simply aggresive,sinister and totally out of order,i welcome you to go through my posts and find any comment thatis worthy of that treatment...
The problem here is the bullyboys with big chips on their shoulders whose goal it is to cause flame wars and arguments under any circumstances.
Read the tone of the messages,how do you expect people not to react to it..
What gives a person the right to say that people will make a noise and spoil a film for everyone,how can somebody make that type of comment without even knowing the individuals in question. The comment is nothing more than derogatory disrepectful and to say the least purposely hoping for an inflamed answer.
There are individuals here who are here to stir up wars hoping to split up the community,they have tried to bully me off this forum but wont win.....i invite you to go through my posts and tell me what is aggresive or disrespectful in them,im here for the music and a bit of chat and nothing else,and i can promise you if i receive anymore of this garbage in emails it will be forwarded to the appropriate people.
The people who are causing the problems here have done it on other forums,the problem is here people are afraid to speak up,but i aint one of them. Dont forget Matthew you were welcomed on our Frankfurt list with open arms as was everyone else,i know of nobody here who has an axe to grind with you,and i include myself in that.
RIP Edgar. I am going to miss you.
