I guess all those years being a member have meant nothing.
Posts like this help!
I don't think anyone's purposely ignoring you. Maybe it's just that this site isn't new news. It's been around for quite awhile now.
The news is that they just "opened their vaults" and released lots of new U2 audio and video...much of which I had never seen or heard...and so thought that others would be just as excited about it!

The videos have been up for a few years, and EYKIW's been especially slow lately. Nobody's actively ignoring you. Chill, bud.

Where's that martyr emoticon when you need it?
Gee, I wonder why so many people ignore you..

No, that's not it.
You seem to have a bad combination of taking yourself way too seriously and being oblivious to your surroundings. No one is ignoring you because of what a mod said or anything other than either not liking your posts, not knowing the answer to your question, or it just being slow.
I think you are reading too much into it, way too much. Posts go unanswered or unreferenced ALL the time in here, it doesn't necessarily mean they're being "ignored". In fact it means very little.redhill said:As to your second point, all I know is this: my last 3 posts after the thread I am referencing went all but completely ignored.
When I used to post here years ago, that never happened. Maybe I read to much into it but I think both factors are relevant and you are minimizing and shifting blame to an extent.
But you do realize that you were not being "ridiculed or attacked" for posting a link to video? Please tell me you realize that.redhill said:Anyway, this does not have to be about me and I think it is better if I just remain a lurker.
I simply thought that posting a link to new U2 video would be appreciated and not something I would be ridiculed or attacked for.
No, that's not it.

Actually, most times I love to be silly and have fun.
I do not appreciate getting attacked on forums and for reasons not worth going into...as we all know...people are a lot more comfortable on the Internet being more callous then they ever would be in person or in "real life."

Bottom line is forums (like this) are simply not for me. I would rather communicate face to face with someone or be on the telephone where people are not so p*ssy and hide behind anonymity so they can talk s*it.
I have no respect or tolerance for people like that. Maybe I'm getting old and this is reflective of a generation gap.
It is worth noting that the last three people who posted in this thread constitute the majority of the people who were being ignorant in the aforementioned thread as well. Hmmmmmm.
Whatever.
Get your digs in if you want while I'm gone but I don't have any more time to waste on some of the people who post on this site.
Dude! You titled the thread "Kid in a Candy Store! (RTE Opens Their Vaults)". And then you just posted a link. It didn't catch my attention, and because I was on my phone it was too much effort to look at. Someone then said "look at this" and then in the very next post you started complaining. No one, not a single person, had attacked you.
This is the internet, not a happy-hand-holding club. Threads get ignored. I was one of the people who attacked you in the past but that was because you started a thread with a completely idiotic claim that was beyond the realms of reality. It deserved to be called out. You then dragged it on and on and on, claiming we were all wrong, that your theories had been proven correct, and then you started playing the victim.
When I close interference, life does go on.
