By the way guys, can anyone tell me what the meaning of the word "broad" means in slang? Cause I've no clue what he insulted me for outside of the C word. :happy: Not the first time I've been called that either, I remember our favourite kid StormierZiggy being rather fond of it...

broad = female
 
Wow this was one piece of drama! :lol:

Well, I know that we can get on people sometimes, been on both ends of the stick, but in particular I think the viciousness GG and Cori were attacked with was something not seen in a long time and just way too much. :down:

Sorry for stating the patently obvious but GG and Cori :hug:
 
Well we're only women after all, so an easier target. :wink:

It's not that I'm not used to being disliked or hated over the internet. :shrug: I'm rather direct and outspoken, and if I see something as wrong or just disagree I tend to speak up about it. Guess he wasn't used to being spoken to like that by a woman. I know that it rubs some people the wrong way, but mostly it is because I'm right and that their conscious doesn't like it. Ah well, the internet is full of people like him. Haters gonna hate.

Thanks for the hug though Gabe. :kiss:
 
I think it usually has an adjective placed before it that leaves little question as to whether or not the speaker has any respect for the lady being spoken of (ie "dumb", "stupid", "fucking", etc). So yeah, it's probably better left out of the sentence. :yes:

Especially if you really are Nice, man.







(Get it, nice + man?)



Nevermind. /stupidjoke

:wink:

Yeah, with the adjective, there's no question, but without? I think it's just old-fashioned.

But yes, there are NICER ways to talk to a woman! ;)
 
I personally don't see anything wrong with selling an item on ebay. He is forcing ANYBODY to purchase it.

If somebody wants to buy it they will.

In response to Oldmanfly and his/others views of interference I completely agree with him.

Happy Thanksgiving
 
Why do people keep assuming that the problem was that he put it on ebay? :crack:
for the millionth time: It's NOT.
The problem we have with him is his attitude, the fact that he's proud of himself wanting to get the big bucks rather than make another fan happy and claiming we'd all do the same. THAT is what rubs me the wrong way, not the fact that he's throwing shit on ebay.

fair enough... I still don't see the problem with him making money, they are his copies and he can do what he pleases with them. The way it looks is he gave 8 fans a copy, kept one for himself, and put another one up for sale at 99 Cents. He can feel like whatever he wants to, don't let it bother you GG. You have yours coming from VVinyl just like me so just Relax (don't do it, when you go to it, Relax) ok?
 
Good morning, world! I think I'll just take a quick look at the WAIE thread to see what people think of the soundboard recording of Mercy, and- WHAT THE HELL? :huh:
 
The thing about Interference ... well, yeah. We've got our own special brand of crazy over here. We do have people who really like to argue, and sometimes new posters get unfortunately chased away. That bums me out.

We also, on the other hand, have a lot of good discussions about a variety of topics.

But we have a lot of people who have made their "home" here, and who post here regularly. If people come here and find they like it, that's awesome. But if people come here and discover it's not really the place for them, for whatever reason, then that's the internet. There are other places to search out and see what fits them better. Not every forum is a good fit for everyone.

I like the way it's organized, I like that it's easy to read. I find that some of the other sites are difficult to read and to navigate. And they're also not as active, from what I can see (which maybe just means we're just more obsessed here. Ha.).

Anyway. I just find it weird that people need to point out how "awful" Interference is, and that we have a reputation or whatever among online U2 fans. I don't think anyone here really cares if we're the best site for U2 fans or anything.

We just like it here.

Or we like it here sometimes and other times it makes us want to claw our eyes out, but we keep coming back anyway because the fun outweighs the crazy.

:)

Now stop being such a fence-sitter. :wink:

:wink:

(And I still think Mercy with the 'because because because' and the 'you wanna kill me BLAH BLAH' sounds like a movie soundtrack song for Twilight...that came out too late for Twilight. :lol: )

I understand that Cori... I've noticed you're on ATU2, thats my "home" forum and I post there regularly... I was just pointing out that a lot of people (me included) think that interference is well :censored: thats all :)
 
And I still think Mercy with the 'because because because' and the 'you wanna kill me BLAH BLAH' sounds like a movie soundtrack song for Twilight...that came out too late for Twilight. :lol:
Isn't there still one movie left or something?
Also, if U2 has to contribute a song to that franchise, they've got better options. Like this, for example:
YouTube - U2 - Twilight
 
Hey, miami66, I hear you. :)

I do like @U2 - I hadn't been there in years, and didn't realize they had totally changed the forums. I like it much better now, rather than the original layout of the forums. A lot easier to navigate.

I pop over there now and again. And don't post that much, no matter what our special banned friend kept saying!

;)
 
Aw. :)

Welcome, by the way. Is this thread the only thread you've posted in so far? Glad it didn't scare you off.

They're not all like this, I promise! :lol:
 
no I think I've posted in a couple more... I mostly come here for more information when my "sources" can't give me any more ;) and other breaking news
