GazeboBlend said:but I cannot help but believe that deception has occurred. While I am not saying that Interference or any of its staff have intentionally misled people, the entire situation defies belief. It is simply not credible. As lovely as it would be for U2 to begin granting fan sites interviews, and for Edge to post on this or any other forum, it is completely against character, as are the comments themselves. I do believe some or all members of U2 have visited this site and others, and may have posted anonymously from time to time. But I cannot believe that "The Edge" is the Edge, or that the interview with U2 was conducted with U2.
I just say this as an observer of the band over decades. U2 are wonderful people, as anyone who has met them will agree.
This really, really pisses me off. People who have been fans a long time who assume to "know" the band members are annoying enough, but then to use that to call others liars is beyond the pale. This poster is new to the board, and yet assumes to know the way Elvis and the mods operate.
Gazebo, I know Elvis. I know a few of the mods. They are not liars. They do not deceive. I like to think I don't give a rat's ass what you think, but when you call my friends liars, I get pissed. I've been here over three years. I've been a fan for over 20 years. I don't claim to know the personalities of the band. I wouldn't dare to assume to do that. But I do know the way Elvis operates, and I do know the way Interference operates. Deception is not part of what they do. It just isn't.
So you, a new member of the board who has no idea at all how things are done around here, can offer your opinion all you want, but please don't insult my friends.
Because that pisses me off.
