You're right. I actually agonised over that post last night, and admit to quite a bit of trepidation when logging on this morning. My contribution * wasn't needed and didn't help any * I just edited out a probably here. And JF, you have a Beatle knowledge and catalogue that blows my mind. And your Paul/Heather thing was f*cking profound. It's just the anger thing that bugs me. But lord knows I'm not perfect, and am in no position to preach. Yes, I'm grovelling. I don't think we'll ever be best friends, but if I want to blab on about tolerance then I should but out. I'm not retracting everything I said, but f*ck, if you can tolerate me then I can do the same. When I say "agonised" I meant it. Their ain't many of us old dudes left. Ying and yang and all that.
There's no need to grovel. I'm far from perfect and there's a zillion people on this site that will attest to that. I get myself into trouble by editorializing too much, but the truth is, I just don't have tolerance for some of the stupid crap that gets posted. Whoever it was (it doesn't matter) that initially posted about how profound and touching 'Plastic Ono Band' is, and his next post on same topic is how a U2 song reminds him of the first time he screwed his girlfriend. What is that? It's stupid, sophomoric b.s. and then I go off, and away we go. To PC--my demeanor hasn't changed one scintilla since I started here-Title or no Title--I have little tolerance for people that think they are above human status because of a title or because they have a couple initials after their name or whatever, and I wasn't comfortable with it then, and still am not. One categorical statement I need to make--We should try to start from scratch, stay focused, and I apologize to whoever I've offended in the past, some of it was deserved, some not, but it doesn't accomplish anything except cause problems. -Duane-
ive been trying to figure out how to respond to that, since it was me that did the POB thing. so its 130 in the morning and i came up with the best response:
i can and have been able to be heartfelt and meaningful in some of my posts, but i just have to crack jokes and be obscene...at the same time mostly. i did that POB-U2 comments because i did feel that way about POB but i cant stand seriousness constantly, so i broke it up by boasting...not the best way...ok not a good way period to go. but its just how i am. i make jokes, boast or have deep thoughts. i dont mean to offend in the manners that i do but i just think differently and tolerate different things then others. i dont do this because i think i'm above you or have some "holier than thou" complex, i do it because i'm comfortable doing it. i'm sorry if i offended any of you. i know i'm a no good, pity whoric a** but its what makes me me. who knows, maybe ill take a sabatical after my 1000 post. clear the air of bad jokes in here for a little while
"if asking, begging and pleading doesn't work, always go with a song and dance number."
Well on a positive musical note (it had to be typed..) I think PC's and Bobber's podcast websites are a great idea - and have some really good musical wealth on them.

And obviously the bootleg thread.
Thanks Indy... And Rick...this place just isn't complete without you.
also, it's just not a lot of fun...just people taking things too seriously, sly, jealous jibing or manipulating/provoking situations to ease their own boredom. I just don't feel much beatle spirit around here anymore....That's no derogatory to the positive posters. I ain't even having a go at the retaliators for i have been guilty of that too. I have adhered to the guidelines of the forum and not tried to moderate too heavily....free speech an all that.....Still without being a drama queen it may be time for me to pass on the flame. As a self labeled yoda of sorts, there is too much bitchin and dark vibes there is. I like sunshine in my life for the dark clouds are not going to dampen my soul.
Splitting hairs on the beatles is one thing, assuming that your personal views are above and better than anybody elses is another.....I just got tired of it. I'm happy how I dig The Beatles and I don't need no forum to re-enforce that. I seriously think Lennon would be pi**ing himself if he read half the crap on here.
And you want to put this into my hands? Thanks Rick, you're a real friend . If Rick don't want to be a mod anymore, my feelings are a woman should do it. Sandra? As for me, I lack language and cultural knowledge of this merely anglo-american board to mod alright. On the other hand...how much does it pay?

I agree....I physically cannot be around as much...also, it's just not a lot of fun...just people taking things too seriously, sly, jealous jibing or manipulating/provoking situations to ease their own boredom. I just don't feel much beatle spirit around here anymore....That's no derogatory to the positive posters. I ain't even having a go at the retaliators for i have been guilty of that too.

Thanks for all interactions, I have gained soo much from this place....I ain't leaving, just gonna put my beatle energy into other areas for a bit (no not another forum.). I'll be keeping in touch with the great friends I have made on here....So it's ciao 4 now amigo's, Happy Beatling!!!! Al, Dmitry if you still need me, I'm here but I think Bobber is the man...fair, informative and helpful.
See you at The Isle of Wight festival if any of you can make it. Peace & Love.
Sorry, I've only just spotted this - blimey a lot has happened this Eurovision weekend!!
Eventually this topic will go back on track. Probably when there's something more in the news on the situation. If not, then it will die a natural death. Has a thread ever been locked around here? I don't think it was ever necessary.
