I guess because I didn't get involved in the political or "hot topic" threads over there, I don't know what's been going on with certain people. I'm probably better off not knowing!!

I just read the mods still claiming they don't do favoritsm and one was talking about how even Nutty has gotten into trouble. I do have to say this, the mods are HUMAN and I should realize that even humans can make mistakes and they're going to sometimes favor their friends. I'm going to try to give them a break now. Not trying to "kiss ass" but I'm sick of fighting.

Molly, do what you feel is best for yourself! You don't have to choose one over the other! We aren't advocating anyone sacrifice their membership at either of these forums, the choice is up to you! And I don't really think anyone of us is "fighting" with anyone there either, it's more of a difference of opinion. Merry

Molly, you can be at both places. It's just you can speak your mind a bit more here without having your post deleted or receiving a nasty PM. And as far as fighting, we're not fighting. Certain people constantly PM others asking to find out what others think of them.......and it's not going to happen. Then certain people get harrassed and the mods do nothing. We're tired of defending ourselves when we did nothing wrong but not want to go to a certain forum or thread. Maybe Sweet Nutty will come around someday. But at least I have his phone number to talk to him, and that will have to do for now. He's still my sweet heart. Judy |

I dont know whats been going on over at the PM board I dont really get involved with the fighting and stuff because I just want to talk about Paul and the Beatles and I appreciate that all you guys must want the same. I have been going on the PM board but hardly anyone is talking,nothing seems to be happening.Its a bit pants. I didnt really use the TMT but I really do resent when you have to be careul what you say what happend to freedom its like an interactive dictatorship now over there. However there were a few people who were coming out with some really dodgy stuff.I dont get why certain people continuosly slagged Paul when its meant to be a place for fans of his to talk. Oh well nice to have other places to talk about the Beatles and Paul |

I was hoping it was our Nutty. I went to the other board tonight and answered some PMs. I didn't see any threads worth reading. There was only one that was interesting and I didn't want my name seen there, so I didn't post. Still not happy about the censorship, etc. over there and so thankful to feel free here. |

I brought this up there, the PM MB is the only site I know of that doesn't have an off topic forum. I challenged anyone there to name any that doesn't. And I wish you guys would come back, I miss some of you. But I guess I'll never change anyone's minds, since it seems like you guys hate the board. I mean it's not as bad as some of you think. Oh man, I hate it when people do this. Someone said it's childish that adults act like children and say, "Well I'll stop posting because they took away so and so forums." "I don't care if my friends are over there, screw them." I'm not saying you guys are doing that, but I think that's what some are thinking over there. I want people to come back, that's all. Darn it to heck. :angry: |

Molly, I don't think any of us hate the board, or anyone over there, either. It's just the way this whole thing has been handled, we just disagree. I'm not saying I'll never go back, but for the time being I feel more comfortable here. It's a friendlier atmosphere and more peaceful, I'm grateful we have it! Now I understand that they just might return TMT one day, so you never know, it could return. Even if they did, I'm not sure I'd go back, but again, I'm not going to say that I won't, either. We'll see how things go. Far as I could see, there really wasn't any reason to go over there at this time. I'd contributed to other forums over there too, but I guess the general consensus is that most of us who spent a good amount of time on TMT weren't true fans. I don't know where that came from, but anyway...! :rolleyes: I think you'll still find some over there that are members of both these boards. Merry |

Molly, there was a lot more to it than taking away TMT. I've contributed to many other forums there. I have my reasons for not wanting to post there for the time being. I don't hate the board. I disagree with many decisions affecting me personally over the last year and this is more like the last straw. Others can stay. That's what I like here. Freedom of choice and freedom of speech. Everyone makes their own decisons, but I've made mine and for now, I won't be going there except to check PMs. |

Well, It took me a while to read through all of that, but I'm glad I did. It seems most of you feel the same way I do about the Macca board. Of course I enjoy talking about the Beatles and Paul, but it was TMT that kept me going back (often times more than once a day.) I'm not going to turn my back on the Macca board, I'm sure I'll still post there every so often, but I think I'll be posting here an awful lot more. |

I PMd a mod there, too, and got nowhere. I didn't exactly say that it was closed because of the reason Judy did, but I sure implied it. I sent them the proof of what happened to me, but got the same response I did before. I need to provide evidence of hacking. I don't know how to do that except showing them what I did. Somebody had two PMs between Merry and me and neither of us sent them to that person. So, how did it happen? I'm totally confused. Glad to see this morning that someone did remark that two people there needed to be told to get a room! |

I've just had a look at Cosmically Consious and it occurs to me that that's a far more controversial forum, requiring regular mod intervention. Why hasn't it been treated the same way as TMT?
And why doesn't anyone say "This is a Paul McCartney forum - we should be talking about him and his music," with regard to that forum? Yes, I know the answer to that is obvious. Therefore, the answer to questions about the validity of TMT is also obvious.

I was once told that Cosmically Conscious resulted in the most complaints on the forum. That is why I don't understand why it, too, hasn't been closed. They are locking threads now, and rightfully so. |

Linda, I mentioned if the forums are for Paul McCartney then they should get rid of C&C and Bands on the Run, because neither are Paul related. All non Paul related forums there should be taken off. |

Did you see what Andy wrote about that person? They used Nutty's avatar and signature from pm.com, so they were trying to be an imposter. I keep going back over there, but just don't find anything interesting. Molly, I saw where you said that and I agree with you. If TMT is gone, all non Paul related forums should go. I was told I could start a USA fans thread in The World Tonight, but I don't think I'm going to do it. They did give me permission to do it, but after thinking about it, I don't think it's a good idea. They told me it was not a substitute for TMT, so I asked what it is since the threads are in languages I cannot read. I was told it was to talk about Paul, birthdays, holidays, children, etc. Now, that's getting close to TMT and I don't think I'm going there. |

Well, I have something to say about the Maccaboard that might make me seem like a rotten arsehole. I'm on shakey ground but I have to say this, so I ask that people read this with an open and rational mind before calling me a rotten arsehole. I'm sure everyone has now read Clorinda's post explaining why she has been away for so long. Obviously recovering from cancer is FAR more important than sorting out petty squabbles on a message board. What I do not understand is why she remained the group moderator for all that time. if she had higher priorities (and they don't come much higher) then why didn't she leave the position and hand it over to someone who would be regularly checking the board? I have every sympathy for Clo and I hope she makes a full and fast recovery, but I think it is irresponsible to stay in a position when you can't do the job. That's not right. I'm not saying Clo should have resigned. Anything remotely connected with the board should have been the least of her worries at the time. But what were Admin and the other mods thinking? The group moderator is not a ceremonial job. If the encumbant can't do the job for any reason, they should be replaced. That's nothing against Clo, it's just common sense. It beggars belief that someone should be retained as group mod when she is incapable (for very good reasons) of doing the job. Naturally, she could return when she's able. Clo said she's been away, on and off, for about 16 months. And how long have the problems been going on? Even Andy made arrangements for others to tend the tenuous links thread when he wasn't able to. He later returned when he could. It really isn't all that hard. So, maybe I am a rotten arsehole for thinking that. I await your brickbats.

I completely agree with you Bill. I feel it is another example of the eyes wide shut syndrome. Everything is fine, no, sure, it's fine, it's fine I tell you, nothing untoward is going on, it's fine, now stop asking totally valid questions, EVERYTHING'S FINE!! I'll still beat you up with a brickbat, though, if that's OK with you. |

I don't think you're a "rotton arsehole", Bill, what you've said makes a great deal of sense! I'm very sorry to hear of the state of Clo's health and I wish her all the best and hope for her to make a speedy recovery. BUT, as you said, she should've delegated her head mod responsibilities to someone else in the interim. I just wonder who has been taking the lead while she's been away, if anyone? The thing of it is to me though is that no matter who has been in charge, its been a group decision and the way they've been going at things just hasn't been working, it makes me feel that it's spun too far out of control now to be fixed anytime soon. They seem to think that they've been doing a fine job and it's us who are wrong because we question things. How can we work on solving anything if we aren't allowed to broach the subject? I've looked in over there from time to time and seen some snipes made towards us and those were allowed to stay. I'm not going to waste my time logging in to bother to even challenge them. But I don't understand the hostility against us for disagreeing with the way things have gone. We've all had our problems over there and I think we are in agreement that things haven't been handled fairly. It's a shame too because it should be enjoyable for everyone, not just a select few. Not everyone there is innocent and there are many things that go on behind the scenes that would make your hair stand on end if you knew them all...then again maybe some here do know. At any rate, the mods seem to be either wearing blinders or favor wearing rose colored glasses and don't want to look at the entire picture, only what they want to see. They are swayed much too easily and swallow anything they are told without checking out all the facts first. In some cases I believe they allow sentiment to rule over sensiblilty. They just can't seem to tell fact from fiction sometimes. SO, until something gets worked out I'll stay here where we are allowed to speak our minds freely. I love Paul as much as all of you do and I miss it too, but I just don't feel there's anything for me to say over there at this time. Merry

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I liked Clare's expression - eyes wide shut. Sums it up nicely. The mods assure us they have no conflicts of interests, but that assurance is based on the assumption that they would know a conflict of interests if they saw one. I am not convinced that they would. But let's give credit where due, Sarah very quickly removed some posts that one of our friends complained about. She didn't bother going to committee, someone complained and Sarah acted on her own initiative immediately. Kudos to her for that. The whole "group discussion" thing is ludicrous. It allows problems to fester rather than stopping them before things really get out of hand. I'm glad to see this policy being refined and hopefully scrapped. Sarah and Fiona valliantly defend the current mods and that is admirable, but things were so much better when they were in charge and I've told them so. Obviously something changed between then and now. I hope it's changing back. |

I don`t think you are a rotten arsehole either but there is something I can say to shed light on the subject now that Clo has made public her personal fight to live. I have had the pleasure to speak to Clo on several occasions on the phone and I was well aware of her medical situation. There were very few of us who knew what was going on with her and she asked us to please not tell others and we did not. Clo made the decision not to tell the board because she felt she could not and did not want to deal with the extra attention and sympathy that it would generate. She felt it was a private fight she had go through with the support of family and few close friends. She did not want her health issues to be a continued topic of conversation on the board. She also did not want to give up her position on the board as she felt that being able to give something back to Paul Mccartney for all the joy that he has brought her was something that kept her going. All of the mods were more than willing to pick up the slack and while Clo did not post on the board and have a highly visible pressence on the board she was never out of touch with what was going on and was still very much an active part of the team. If ever for one moment Clo had not been able to do the job justice she would have been the first one to step down. It was a decision that was made with the unanimous support of the entire moderating team that she remain on board. |

I totally respect the privacy issues. She doesn't owe us anything there. However, it is irresponsible to be taking up a position while unable to do the job. That's not giving something back. She should have stood down for the duration of her recovery. That would not preclude her from returning when able - just as Andy returned to tenuous links when he was finished with the things that kept him from it. How can she possibly do the job justice while being away for months at a time battling cancer? It's admirable, but foolish. Like I said, it's simple common sense. And I think for the other mods to go along with it shows more concern for Clo keeping her position than with the impartial moderation of the board. Yes, I know it sounds harsh. But sometimes you've got to p*ss or get off the pot. If you can't do the job, for whatever reason, stand aside for someone who can. I'm not mad at Clo for this, but I'm disappointed in Admin for allowing such an irresponsible action. |

I am delighted that Clorinda is recovering. That's the most important thing
but I think smoeone else should have stepped in during her recovery period to allow her to concentrate on that, she could have still given something back by participating in the threads without the stress of having to try and moderate what at times was a very difficult forum. Possibly there was no one suitable to take on that role. |

as i know a former mod one of the first, i believe, certain issues that people have touched on here were there a long time ago. the specifics i didn't ask coz quite frankly i couldn't be arsed. in my real life i try to forget the little in consequential things that happen in life, why coz i cant wait years before i get me own back, all completely legal of course, so little name calling on the web doesn't make me lose me hair. i tend to avoid those people ( god damned liberals ) and just correct them on points of fact when i have the opportunity. |

While I feel for Clo, I think some of the board problems may have developed because she didn't step down temporarily as a mod. They all seemed to wait for her and she said she wasn't able to be online. I still haven't decided about starting a USA thread in The World Tonight. I'm afraid of who might join the thread. I do commend Sarah for removing the offensive post yesterday. She did it within minutes of my complaint. |

Bill your not an *arsehole*. I agree the administrator's should of had Clo step down and had her come back when she felt better or step from day to day, depending how she feels. But make someone else head moderator who could dedicate more time to the board. I knew she was sick and didn't want sympathy from everyone. She has conquered and endured so much the past year and half. Now that Clo is on the road of recovery she probably will have more time to be moderating the board and I wish her well. I do think Bill would make a great moderator. I would hope he would continue his thoughts on the world around us. But I don't want to see Clo leave as the worst is behind her. Judy |

Actually I think he may be referring to George Michael. |

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' ! I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN | |

Someone (who will remain nameless) told me that this place will die once TMT returns. I doubt it will because I know when TMT comes back it'll be more restrictive (ie no political talk, which IMHO is fine with me) and the mods will be watching that forum like a hawk. Wish the mods would watch CC a bit more with the Seal Hunting threads. |

Well, I don't foresee this forum dying out, I think alot of us are very happy here and grateful to have a place where we can come and speak out about anything we like, that's the beauty of it! Well ALMOST anything!
I don't know what they have in mind for the TMT forum, either, but I do feel that they will keep a close eye on it, which actually isn't such a bad thing, if you think about it! I agree, the Seal threads were overboard sometimes, and there was alot of disrespect shown to other posters as well as our hosts, Paul and Heather. I was shocked to read what was being said over there at times! Merry

They will be watching it like a hawk and if no political threads are allowed, we'll just have to start them here. I like them. They definitely need to watch the seal threads. I have no plans of leaving this forum when TMT reopens. There will still be favoritism and no freedom of speech. |

What do you want total bedlum over there and have people say what they want even if it's against Paul? I'm just asking and not trying to be mean or anything. And the mods explained that they aren't favoring anyone. They mentioned they gave their warnings to their best friends and lost some in the process. I accept that reasoning. I think people think mods aren't human and should not have any emotions, which is not right either. And the mods explained why they don't publically get people in trouble, how would you like it if you got in trouble in public? I wouldn't. I'm glad people deal with it privately. |

An explaination: Lan posted at the Macc Board at the "Re: Talk More Talk" thread and he was being all "Godly" and being his own self. It actually cracked me up when I saw it. I hope he comes over there, he is opionated, but I think he's a sweetie.

I am right here. Personally, I would like there to be more people of opposing viewpoints. If everyone here agrees with each other on every issue its like watching one big circle jerk. If I want to see that I can go to a frat party on Friday night. You cannot have a heated debate if everyone is on the same side. I have yet to have a single run-in with any of the moderators at the dreaded message board. I never received a single warning of any kind whatsoever. I had one poll that I created deleted, but life carried on. I do not know any of them personally and I certainly never held back what I wanted to say. As far as freedom of speech and censorship are concerned, I think I did very well there. I have no idea why. I can recognize where some people see favoritism. I saw many instances where people said things that even I found unacceptable (and that takes a lot of effort) and the moderators seemed to ignore them while others said harmlessly amusing things and were publicly scolded. I think the problem is that we see the “troublemakers” continue to post and assume that no action was taken when, in fact, they may be on the edge of a hearty banning for all we know. Unless, of course, I am one of those troublemakers, in which case, you are right, nothing was ever done. |

Don't get me wrong, I love opposing viewpoints. I welcome them. But certain people, and we know who they are, can't be mature about how they express them. They have to get all juvenile and accusatory. I don't want them here. I am very glad to see people like Beep and Fab here - people who I rarely agree with politically. They give me something I can get my teeth into. :lol: And I know that they base their views on values over right and wrong, not party talking points (although I'm still waiting for Fab to call for impeachment as promised )And I'm sorry Moz, if you felt that I was directing my comments at you. You're a GOOD pig-headed New Yorker.

What you have to understand is, since New York is the greatest city in the history of the world, most of us lucky enough to live here quickly develop a superiority complex. When we sit in the back seats of our cars, we believe that we can't be wrong. |

Bill and I have both had major run-ins with the two people in question. If I see them here, I don't know where I'm going. They do not debate. They name call if you disagree with them. It's their way or no way. One is also racist, so that person will last about a week if they do join here. I pointed out to the mods over there the racist remarks made by this person at least half dozen times and they are still there. That is where the favoritism I've seen comes in. |

First off, I'd like to thank Andy and Fiona for creating this forum, it's nice to be able to post freely. I have not had any problems with the Macca Board mods, but I do think that there was a great deal of censorship taking place in TMT and the Broadcast forums, which I strongly opposed. People have differing opinions, they should be allowed to express them. I am a member of both boards but I most likely won't post over there as much because I enjoyed the debates and discussions that went on in TMT, and even if it comes back, it won't be the same. Just my .02 :-) ~Mary~ |

Nice of you to tell us what someone thinks of the board without telling us who. Perhaps if they'd have wanted us to know their opinion, they would have posted it themselves? Personally, I think there is room on the internet for many message boards and, lest anyone forget, this is a Beatles message board, it's not just about Paul. We have a few members here who post on several message boards and there's no reason why they would stop coming here purely because a section of another message board re-opened. Why? Because we're different enough to co-exist. There's a different feel about this board, it's moderated with a different ethos and there's also a games section, something that people were asking for on paulmccartney.com for ages and which was continuously denied. Will the honeymoon period end? Probably. Will the popularity of this place end when TMT re-opens? Probably. Did we expect to have more than just a handful of members after a week-and-a-half? Definitely not! :lol: One thing I do want to do is thank everyone on this thread who have been positive about Strawberry Fields and extended thanks to Fiona and I for creating this message board - your positivity is very much appreciated and we're glad to have so many great members here!

I don't think I ever even opened the TMT forum at the other board, but I do share everyone else's feelings that the mods over there were condescending and humorless. I am a longtime fan (since 1964) but I am no sycophant. I love Paul and the Beatles but I reserve the right to have a dissenting point of view on whatever threads I choose to post. While I have not had the negative experiences some of you have recounted here, I do feel that the mods were impeding the exchange of spirited debate and good humor. Consequently, I was resigned to posting mainly on the game threads so as not to be "offensive" or "controversial." Thanks, Andy and Fiona, for starting Strawberry Fields and giving us another place to share our love for the Beatles and other things both significant and frivolous. |

I would like to say that if Mikemc comes here i'm outta here. Did anyone read his comments. I responded to me, but I know it'll be deleted and I'LL be told to be respectful when he's the one not being respectful. And also what is those people who are glad that TMT is gone and they are the ones who posted a lot in the forums? Isn't that being hypocritical? |

Everyone's gripping about who's being nasty over there, blah, blah...... Wanna know something? If it's still that horrible there, then don't go! Who cares what the jerks of the right wing field are doing (No offesive to Chad, John, Olen, and Tassy!). They want to be that way, let them and then let them find out that they no longer have an audince to play to! You're only giving them fuel to light their fires. I'm tired of that, hence why I'm no longer going there. Just food for thought.... |
