Quoted from Kevin

Every now and then some nutter flutters moth-like too near the flame and things brighten up for a while. I'm afraid some of the younger "whose the best kisser?" types might have been frightened off. I feel a bit guilty about that. Now we only have people who agree with each other, and where's the fun in that?

I think I may have scared one off this week. The great thread resurrector. I think quite a few of them are on the Gone Troppo forum, started by someone here. You get to kiss George all day. I'd love to know what Freud would have said about this fascination with kissing a dead man!

Ahem. That would be DarkSweetLady and I. I'm only speaking for myself here, but I haven't been "scared off".
Not yet anyway...

With Gone Troppo you don`t have to wait for a week on a reply  

I like this Forum very much and as you know had a bit of fun with a chat show on here which i think went very well , but it was just the same people on [ mostly ladies  ]

Everybody's entitled to start a forum of their own, right Alan?    Some people might be looking for a certain atmosphere that they don't find elsewhere. DM's been a place of all kinds of Beatlesfans so far and there's always been place for threads like 'The Best Kisser' AND 'The Deeper Shade of Soul of Yer Blues' so to speak. I've always loved that atmosphere and you can pick whatever suits your charactar or state of mind. If not, then not. As long as that atmosphere is here, I'll be here. So, let nobody feel 'scared'...

I agree. It is a generally open place.

First of all, Sky and I are not the type of people who only think about, "Which Beatle is the best kisser?" We know a lot about The Beatles, just because we find one attractive doesn't take away from our knowledge. We started a forum of our own because we wanted a place dedicated to our favorite Beatle, where all types of fans can have an enjoyable time.I also have no "fascination with kissing a dead man!", I can proudly and truthfully say that I don't like Geroge just for his physical appearance, I also liked the person that he was. Some on this site are intellectual enough to realize that.
I do not see why a few members on this site are only concerned with focusing on the negative aspects of The Beatles.
Lastly, I agree with Sky, I have not been scared away from DM's.

we need some more groupgrunting

Howdy. Apologies for my original post, it was meant to be more a dig at myself, but I think my choice of words was wanting.
I am one of the negative people, and I wasn't joking when I said I feel guilty about that. I've always believed that as long as people stay civil they can post about whatever they damn well please.
In my defence I think I'm more realistic than negative, but people are always the worst judges of their own characters. There is room for us all. I'll try to be good, but I know myself too well to make any dumb promises.

I don't think anyone has been negative. I'm sure I'm one of the people the comment is aimed at. Some of us (generally the older members) are just a bit more realistic about things. We don't think any of The Beatles are God, or geniuses, and when someone starts referring to them in that way we probably get deliberately negative, in order to counter that. If that can't be read into, then that's not really our fault. It doesn't man we hate them, we wouldn't be here if we did.

I think this forum is unique in allowing people to voice their opinions without too much rancour. If I think Lennon's output post Imagine is sh*te, I should be allowed to say so, without everyone thinking I hate him. Voicing you're own opinions is not being negative.

I totally agree, I don't think of any of The Beatles as God's. But I do consider them musical geniuses, because they were. I feel like all the Beatles had flaws, but I love them very much and I'll always stick up for them.

I agree with these realistic and sensible sentiments. Except the part about their not being gods.

They could be considered musical "gods", but not like Gods.

I like your little poem in your signature by the way
