Do you actually believe this crap? Yeah, J was banned because he hates POP. That makes a lot of sense. Why don't you give it a rest? We know you don't like POP. We know you think the rest of Interference is conspiring to shove it down your throat. Move on.
You claim that J used excerpts from interviews, which isn't the whole picture. On COUNTLESS occassions he has taken band quotes OUT OF CONTEXT to backup his points, while omitting information that would disprove them. This kind of crap might be funny once or twice, but after a while it becomes deliberate information, and to a certain extent, libel. His dislike for "a certain album" was only one of many topic he presented a distorted picture of.
Because you also have such a dislike for POP (maybe you hate Adam Clayton too), you don't seem bothered by these sketchy tactics. Well maybe you can take over where J left off and see how far you get.
Good luck.

My thoughts EXACTLY.I've recieved a few verbal bashings in some of my threads.Difference of opinion = lets all have a go and tell him to fuck off,that was pretty much the jist of it.....patheticbeli said:There have been a number of threads of late where a U2 fan has been singled out and savaged by other U2 fans. I'm curious to know why individuals believe this kind of behaviour is acceptable.
In some cases, but not all, the person being savaged is either not from the same country as the people doing the savaging, or is eccentric. Do people do this in real life? If you meet someone who has a different sense of humour, or is a little peculiar, or doesn't socially fit in, do you round up your friends and verbally savage them until they leave?
Why is it okay to pack maul people on the internet?
PS This post is not directed towards moderators as I believe people should be able to moderate themselves on most days, barring the odd wobbly.
blahblahblah said:I notice in many threads if somebody has a certain opinion on something to do with U2 that doesn't go well with what some SUPER-FAN thinks...that super-fan will get on his/her soapbox, stick their nose in the air and talk like they're god almighty. I remember the words "I'm sorry, I don't think you understand what U2 is..." being used against someone.
You get complete pricks here, and many people will act like bloody JOCKS tripping up computer nerds in the hall over a BAND. Lighten up some of you.

Lisa71 said:Also, as far as certain other board members that people have issues with, I think these people are ticked off at the troll-like behavior not the fact that someone is disagreeing with them. There are some people that get their jollies out stirring things up. I, personally, think that's a sad waste of time. And the one particular one that everyone keeps talking about has had a habit of doing so since way back on Wire in the mid to late 90's.

Finally, someone else who knows what I'm talking about. It isn't the OPINIONS that are the problem, it's the trolling. Either that, or it's deliberate misinformation. However you want to classify it, that's what the main problem is. NOT a dissenting opinion. And it should be punishable.
I'm more anti-establishment than most people I know. But it seems that Interference members just like railing against the system and seeking consipiracies. I firmly believe that the banning process isn't something one moderator does on a whim. There has to be a good reason for it, a long history, and an agreement by other higher-ups. That's good enough for me.

i agree. other forums i go to are ruled with an iron fist compared to here. the problem is here (and i'm gonna be really honest for a minute) there are quite a few people who question everything the mods do. questioning is okay but some people do it to the point where it interferes with our work.Lisa71 said:I don't think this forum is overly moderated at all, I think they are pretty loose, actually.
