Colleen has deleted herself from DM's for good. She has grown very sick of the fighting, and especially of being harassed with complaining PM's from "junior" about me. Well, the little hall monitor can now dance around in delighted circles, for I am joining her.
She also got very tired of all the fighting, of being put in the middle as if she controlled me or something. She is not me nor I her, and she was being held accountable for my words. Not cool. This was not the forum she signed up for two years ago. She leaves with -very- little regret, as do I.
I wish to make clear that in -no- way possible does this mean the the trolls, complainers, liars and idiots have won anything. I am leaving because I CHOOSE to...because this truly isn't DM's anymore. I spent nearly a year scrupulously avoiding fights in here because it was a good place with good people. Then Wayne started in. The beginning of the end, people. By the time you allow a Wayne and a Ydoll to do and say what they wish without resistance, well, you get what you've got. Apparently that is your choice. Barrabas or Jesus?
Sad to say (and not at all egotistical) but by the two of us leaving you're actually losing two of the best people that were here, not the worst.
There are two sneaky regulars here and they both know who they are (so do I). Log reports don't lie. Nice try, fellas.
There were a few good folks here, of course.
Erin is great with child and will be very busy very soon, God bless her and best of luck. Watch them hormones, Ed!.
Sandra and Sie and Sun and Alan and........well, you'll all just have to carry on best you can. Thanks for being good fellow posters.
Despite some trying to paint this place as a paradise before I returned the fact is every other post was from or about DIRK. And it wasn't pretty. It's the only reason I even came back, to see if I could help.
Believe it or not, there are *hundreds of thousands* of other Beatle forums online, many far better than this. So don't think this place really matters all that much. Tho I do thank Dmitry for the invite and being a gracious host.
So say what you want, feel free. Neither of us will ever be back, not to lurk, not to be secretly seeing what anyone says. We clearly don't give a mess about many of you or your opinions of us. We wipe the dust of you from our feet. P'toi.

Just an FYI for those of you playing at home. Last week I posted a message which just expressed my disbelief to Charlie that he of all people would post about the horrible state of this site when, if you add it up, he had the majority of the insulting, condescending posts. Colleen posted that my post was unprovoked and that they are friends, that he is not a jerk, just very opinionated. Being opinionated is one thing, hurling venom and insults is another. I took a few of his posts, aimed at others, not me, and sent them to her saying that they were totally unprovoked and were malicious. Charlie needs a scapegoat, self-righteous hypocrites typically do, and I am apparantly it. I didn't go running to mommy as he made it sound, but I felt that there was a double-standard going on, and I addressed it. Pure and simple. If anyone feels the slightest bit bad for "Jesus" as he compared himself to, don't worry, he will find plenty of forums to spew his vitriol and he won't last long there either. Hopefully now we can express our different opinions and offer our thoughts about Beatle-related things rather than having to be set straight by the Almighty.
Lately it seems that fighting/leaving the forums is a fad. I think the whole situation sucks, it's always sad to lose long time members like Colleen and Chuck but I guess there's nothing we can do about it
Colleen left??? Thats horrible! I think it sucks that we just cannot get along. Who cares who complains the most, or insults the most, its just a Beatles forum, and the fact that anyone here is left is amazing with all the bitching and bickering thats been going on. I mean seriously. I use to try to start crap jsut to make things interesting, its just not that interesting anymore. I don't know who the stupid Ydoll person is, but I'm sure there about as much of an annoyance as Wayne and Dirk were. But we'll get over it. I hate to see people leave over fighting, but I've done it a few times myself.

laddeedadadadanee, etc, etc Oh the Games People Play Now every night and every day now Never meanin what they say now never sayin what they mean Why they while away the hours in their ivory towers till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limosine Ladandaladandadada, Ladandaladandadada Oh we make one another cry, breakin' hearts when we say goodbye Cross our hearts and we hope to die, that the other was to blame and neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at an 8 by 10 Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been, and it's a dirty rotten shame
Chorus:
( Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play Oh yeah, all right
(Look Here) People walkin' up to ya, singin' glory hallelujah and they try to sock it to ya, in the name of the Lord They're gonna teach ya how to meditate Read your horoscope, cheat your fate And furthermore to hell with hate, come on, get on board
(chorus)
(Now Wait a minute) Look around, tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me? God grant me the serenity to just remember who I am 'Cos you've givin' up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity Turned your back on humanity, ow, and you don't give a da da da
A sullen figure walks along a dusty road his life was holy and he couldn't bear the load he left his people and a simple life behind he raised his torso and he looked into the sky shouting his questions looking for directions "what do I do now?"
now a confused school girl stares at the TV tray the stresses of maturing compound every day she glances up to see her favorite video and gets ideas from Madonna's nasty clothes in need of affection she craves a direction her heroes offer her
everyone is looking for something and they assume somebody else knows what it is no one can live with the decisions of their own it seems so they look to someone else to tell 'em what to be tell 'em what to wear tell 'em what to say tell 'em how to act and think and compel others compulsively until the world is all like them
a righteous student came and asked me to reflect he judged my lifestyle was politically incorrect I don't believe in self important folks who preach no Bad Religion song can make your life complete prepare for rejection you'll get no direction from me you'll get no direction from me you'll get no direction from me

You took a time bomb and a case of crackers and you made a maelstrom of organic debris then you took a work bench and a rusty anvil and you polished them for everyone to see you have created an unhealthy monster but you're nowhere but nowhere to be found so I guess I'll just cope with my provisions from now until the day theu lay me down you took a babboon and made him perfect you took a lion and stripped him of his pride then you took a million more varieties a scalpel and a sartory and you stitched up a horrible surprise you have created an unsocial monster and you're searched for all over the globe and most belive that things would sure be better if you'd come down here and tell us what you know who is to blame for this? someone tell me please His handiwork is flawed and it's there for all to see mutataions, abberations and blatant anomalies they multiply and give rise to this...monstrosrity you took the most abundant smallest bits of matter and you instilled them with affinity and then you stratified accumulations weeded out bad variations and blended up your unique recipe you have created a powerful monster with direction and purpose all its own and if you were here would things be any different? or are you just a mosaic of thoughts alone?

Totally agree. It's been a right fiasco round here the last couple of months. I mean, I have a friend who was interested in posting on the forum but now has to go through all the rigmarole of getting approved...All because of a few. I came onto this place to enjoy peoples views, knowledge and thoughts ojn the Beatles aswell as chatting with people from all round the world.....This I intend to do, with or without the instigators. Theres plenty folk on here who are sound and easy to get on and disagree with, without the malice. Power to the people!!! lol
