Quoted from Wayne_L.

I think tkitna has a few problems mentally & won't admit it.  I have been a Beatles fan longer than you have probably been alive baby, so if you're amazed about my opinions about Broadstreet, you must not have any at all.

Wayne, after I read your post about all the solo albums you havent heard or owned, i'd probably crawl back under your rock and shut up. Never question my desire or knowledge about the Beatles again. Your infantile responses and threads have hit the wall. I like you and all your threads, but to be honest,,,,,your an idiot. Sorry.

Al, i'm sorry i've been so strong lately and I promise to try to shape up, but I wont and will not be ever questioned by Wayne whether its opinion or facts. Again sorry.

Neither do I, so I'm open to suggestions.

I don't know. Are there forum rules posted anywhere? I don't see them, but I didn't really look very hard. Anyway, they should be in a sticky labeled Forum Rules. Are there rules pertaining to excessive profanity or personal attacks on others? If so, then a person should be refered to the rules when he/she is in violation of one of them. No consequences, just a referal. If they continue after being made aware of the rules a few times maybe they can get warnings which are a little more serious. If they can't seem to refrain or self-edit, then they should be allowed only so many warnings before they are banned or something. Like three strikes and your out. Or four or five. But if they get banned, then they know they brought it upon themselves and had plenty of time to get it together. I mean, it shouldn't come to that. We should all be able to monitor our own behavior! If it gets out of hand, I think a warning is appropriate. I mean, some of the names I've seen people called around here are just disgusting. What does that ever have to offer to a conversation? Anyway, I know these are probably all things that are in place already, maybe people just need to be made more aware of it. Anyway Al, you are a GREAT Admin. Very fair and unbiased. I don't question anything you do. I just agree that it's sort of gotten out of hand here lately. Which is too bad. Although it seems sort of calm at the moment.

  

i agree with venus...i mean sandra...we need guidelines so when you ban you can be justified...

Someone posted - about Sean- that at least he hasn't flooded the market. I posted the reason is no one buys his music, and got that post got  zapped. Why? It's a fact. Wayne seems to be able to post whatever he wants and that's okay, I guess.

It was the insult you added afterwards that prompted me to delete the post - in my opinion it was unprovoked.

What are you talking about? I see insult after insult on this site. What's the deal? And the "Gayness' of the Beatles is more acceptable? Are you friends with Wayne? Is he a Plant just to get people talking because I don't see anything of his getting edited? Would someone PM me with a site that has to do with the Beatles, this is a site that could be very cool, but there are issues. Thanks.

Dwarf, I have deleted posts by other members too, not just yours - and, as I've said before, it was your abusive response to what was a very innocuous post that prompted me to remove it - in my opinion, those comments would have started another round of totally unecessary arguments.

But you're right, this site does have issues at the moment; with people all too easily getting involved in personal slanging matches. But despite my calls for some civility, the personal attacks continue on and on (and I'm not pointing the finger of blame at you in particular) and that is what prompted me to start removing certain comments by some members.

To be honest, in hindsight it was probably the wrong thing to do because it fixes nothing and only hides the underlying problem - if people don't want to live in peace, they wont.

As far as I'm concerned the matter is now closed and I bear no-one no ill. This can be a very cool site, which I'm sure you will soon find out if you stay.

How about this:

"NO PERSONAL INSULTS or ATTACKS. DMs provides this site for our users to gather and discuss The Beatles in general. You are free to disagree with others, but if you stoop to personal abuse or attacks, your post(s) will be deleted. If you ARE insulted please report the post, but DO NOT retaliate."

Sadly enough the only rule needed here.

Thanks Kate - that is 100% on the mark as far as I am concerned - I will post that as a sticky.

Give My Regards To Broadstreet looks like a masterpiece these days over 20 years later.  Paul must have been stoned thinking he was making a sequel AHDN & Help & his name was going to make it popular at the time.  

Ever notice that there's a scene that appears in both AHDN and GMRTBS - the scene where a soldier adds more tomato ketchup to his wound!
