Pardon my bluntness and arrogance, but I have to let this out: I think it's absolutely pathetic that they took away the TMT section. Why? Because McCartney friends should be encouraged to get to know each other beyond the music. I'm not entirely on top of why it was closed; the explanation they gave was expectingly vague because God forbid they show a little bit of honesty! To me, a section like that should be one where people can have open-minded discussions about absolutely anything. Come on, it's Macca's forum and Macca is a total bohemian, open to everything! As for trouble makers (whatever that means), they should be booted so the rest can carry about their fun. Nobody deserves to feel out of place or insignificant. And if it gets to the point (as it apparently has already) where people can't socialize in a respectful manner, then I think it's absolutely pathetic and sad, and I'm completely uninterested in participating. I also noticed that they didn't want people "advertising other sites" such as these there, which again, is absolute bull sh**, and a lame attempt to stop people from joining this beautiful place. Another perfect and disappointing example of censorship and a lack of consideration for both sides of an argument. On the contrary, I admit that section was getting a little on the boring side, because nothing remotely of interest to me was allowed to even be brought up (like my thread on cannabis decriminalization, which was apparently inappropriate, but a bar thread was perfectly fine). All I know is I have no intent on participating in a community that choses to allow whatever it pleases, with a major lack in consistency. I love you folks to death and I thank you for reminding me that we're not all as shallow and gullible as I feared. |

You're right, Bridget...!
Lisa, what an excellent post, I agree with you and feel that the censorship issues got way out of hand. Some were allowed more than others, you know what I mean! As far as boring, well yes, it got that way. They were trying so hard to be PC that they flew all over the place in different directions, a total lack of consistancy! Whoever the "troublemakers" were or are, they should've been dealt with individually and been weeded out, I still don't understand what that's all about! They have expected us to be mind-readers and follow what they tell us because they know what's best, but how can we deal with them if they won't even discuss things out in the open? Once again I'll harp on the same isssue...you are encouraged to take your issues to the mods privately through PM's, but when you do, you get no reponse. So what are you supposed to do? As I've said, I feel most comfortable here for now, and here I'll stay. If and when the TMT forum ever is returned, I might go back. I'll wait and see how it goes. Just glad that we have this wonderful forum to come to, we can openly say what we feel without fear of getting punished for having an independant thought or viewpoint. Merry

I'm not following the goings on over there anymore, it's not worth it right now. People have been sniping and that's only making things worse. Merry

Let's just say the two people I had major problems with have been mentioned on this board--but not by me. I'm not saying and I won't tell anyone I don't know. Bill doesn't need to be told. We've both had run-ins with them. I know both have been mentioned by their user name here. All I've read is that the moderators keep saying it's on hiatus. |

Okay this is it. I was told by someone who I LIKE that they aren't welcome here. I'm not saying who, if you want to know PM me. This whole freaking thing is getting ridiculous don't you think? I don't like this, "Oh if so and so comes here, I'm leaving." crap. (Yeah I know I said that about Mikemc, but I wouldn't leave, I'd just avoid him.) If this goes on any further I'm leaving both places for a while and taking a breather. This whole thing is getting really stupid iMHO. I know andy and Fiona didn't intentionally make this board to spite the Macca board, but some of the members here have drawn the line. I know I said on the Macca Board that Mikemc wasn't welcome, but I was going to delete it, and thankfully the mods took care of it. I thought this place would welcome anyone, but I guess not. You want to be exclusionary. Then why not make this place friends only and invite those you want to come in. I'm sorry, but I'm p*ssed off because this person said they weren't welcome and I am sad because I like them. Thanks guys.

Well why not just making this place "private" and only invite people we like. We complain about censorship, well telling people that they're not welcome because we might feel uncomrotable with them makes us look just as bad as the Macca Board. I'm sorry I brought Mm's name in the whole thing. Sorry I'm p*ssed off. This place is just as exclusionary as the Macca board was. |

I haven't found it to be exclusionary, Molly, and I'm sorry you feel that way. Andy and Fiona have not made this board exclusionary. I don't think they will exclude anyone unless they do something against the forum rules--like the Beatnut imposter did. They deserved what they got, didn't they? And I never want to see another pair of rolling eyes in my life. |

I'm not sorry for what I said, but I just want to thank you guys for being so understanding. I have no idea why this has hit me wrongly. It's just a feaking message board. That's why if this goes any further I might have to stop for a few days and take a breather, or just avoid this thread and the venting thread for a while. I have stopped going to the Macca board for a few days because it's upsetting me. This is not healthy for anyone.

I don't think Andy and Fiona wanted this to be a "private club", it was meant to be enjoyed by everyone, Molly! Those who have chosen to come here haven't done it to thumb their noses at Paul's...it's another forum to be at, and a welcome one. I happen to feel very comfortable here and we have a variety of people. I would hope that those at Paul's would still give us the same consideration and not draw lines that don't exist. Merry

I have never had a problem with the "official" site. I was happy just to hear about Paul, didn't go there for any other reason but that. I enjoy BOTH Paul sites, and this may sound stupid~but being on the official board made me feel a little closer to Paul~you know?? The fact that he does the occasional post there, the "does he read it or not" stuff was exciting to me. I can understand the need to keep a tight hold on the reins, so to speak, over there. I sure wouldn't want Paul to see anything upsetting about him or his family, on his site. My one complaint is there was too much other stuff going on over there~ I only went to the topics concerning Paul and his music or his pictures. The rest, to me, was unnecessary. I will continue to enjoy both sites~I am here to discuss Paul.....

If you don't like how hot things are getting, Molly, why are you forever pouring gasoline on the fire? Just for the record - Fiona and I have not told anyone that they are not welcome here. Molly's friend is welcome here and has not, as yet, attempted to register at the board. Had they have attempted to register, they would have been accepted just like everybody else. I told you this in a PM, Molly, before I realised that you'd made it public, but you should check your facts before posting something that is not only untrue, but is fairly insulting to both mine and Fiona's integrity. If you wanted to apologise, it would be welcome. |

Molly, you seem to be the only one who has a problem with the boards co-existing. People here and there have made their choice, and I don't see any one else complaining about how things are run. Also, I have read some of your posts over at PM.com, and you seem to be playing one off against the other, like you are trying to get one community to favour you. The whingeing I'm reading here is exactly the reason that I grew tired of the Macca board. No one is being asked to make a choice about which board they belong to, the majority of us belong to and post on both. But get over the fact that some of us prefer it here. PS: That was a bit of a back-handed apology to Andy. <_< |

Message boards are but a walking shadow Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (With apologies to Bill) Complaining about stuff is fun. I do it as much as anyone. But I think once you have made your point ad nauseum, it might be time to move on to another subject. Personally, I do not think names should be named, no matter how much you hate the person or are jealous of how exceptionally beautiful I am. That is just not classy. When Talk More Talk died, I mourned. Briefly. Then I moved on. |

Count me in on those run-ins. I can have little to no respect for people who think little of everyone else but highly of themselves. I am so damned tired of the "but he started it shite" if I want to hear that I would just go to a playground with 5 year olds. If you don't like that person's opinion, fine say so but don't come back with some bullshit attack and expect the other person to respond with respect.

I believe it was genuine and am glad you're posting here. I tend to post on both boards too, and if a topic interests me then I respond. The problem with these type of boards is that when reading a post we tend to put our own inflection in the words. So if we are happy we may read the post in a positive way, just as we may read a post in an angry way if we are feeling that way. Don't take it personal. Live and let live |

The thing is, you can't take this message board stuff too seriously. Things are starting to get heated because people are letting their emotions get the best of them. I agree with Mozart that naming names is classless and amateur, very grade school. Personally I've never had a problem with anyone, including the Mods, over at the Macca board so I will continue to post at both places. I will say that I think it's horses***t that they took away the TMT forum, definitely censorship at its finest. Just my .02 ~Mary~ |

It removed one of the topics which somebody did about well Paul and Heather obviously.

Well, I'm glad they removed some of the stuff about Heather and what they're doing. I know some of you might think they don't allow opinions, but when it comes to what's going on between Heather and Paul. There are some who would LOVE to just blame the split on Heather, and on Paul's official message board it's rude, IMHO. So this time I'm not going to complain. |

Yes, we all know who that person and his parrot are. But you know what? If they joined here, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Having said that though, I think if they put one foot out of line (and I'm talking about civility, not differences of opinion) then they should be out on their ear. They have had FAR too much indulgence already. I would welcome them here on a probabtiobnary basis, but I would expect them to be properly disciplined if they start spouting any of the reprehensible bile that they are so well known for.

And the big news from Admin is............... They want suggestions for new rank titles. Can there be any doubt left that they have their heads in the sand?

The clamour for new rank titles has been raging for months, and Admin and the Mods have always dismissed them as not necessary. Now that people are leaving the board in droves, they're finally being offered. Merely a ploy to lure people back to being under their control. Can anyone spell unitocracy? |

Much as I think rank titles are utterly pointless, isn't it interesting that they finally listen to the people when something more important happens? Perhaps if the board gets infected by a virus, they'll do something about pulling the troublemakers into line. |

It is all up to the administrators (whoever they are), but my personal belief is that anyone and everyone should be welcome here regardless of whatever disputes and conflicts occurred at other message boards. This is not the Paul McCartney Board, Part II (I hope). This is an entirely new entity. We should all come in with a clean slate as far as "discipline" goes. All who "get out of line" should be dealt with equally. in the neighborhood.

Bill wrote and I guess I don't know how to quote here: Yes, we all know who that person and his parrot are. But you know what? If they joined here, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Having said that though, I think if they put one foot out of line (and I'm talking about civility, not differences of opinion) then they should be out on their ear. They have had FAR too much indulgence already. I would welcome them here on a probabtiobnary basis, but I would expect them to be properly disciplined if they start spouting any of the reprehensible bile that they are so well known for. Firm but fair I just know neither one would last a week because they couldn't follow the rules and would not be shown the favoritism they've been shown at pm.com. I just don't want to see those rolling eyes. Can those be banned first?

I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt - until such time as the doubt is removed. Moz, I admire your stance. I think it's fair to say though, that you haven't had the experience with these people that Scruffs and I have. I wouldn't shut anyone out just for being who they are. But some people are so downright mean that there's no point in giving them second (or even one hundred and second) chances. |

By the way people, whoever is "reporting" some of these threads to mods at the Maccaboard, you needn't bother. I have nothing to hide and they are all welcome to come here and read what I've written. There's no need to be so cloak-and-dagger about it acting like it's a big secret. :angry: |

I know a certain someone reads this place because I got a PM totally attacking me because I mentioned his name here. Hey to those Macca people QuIT SPYING. You can't do anything to us here. What are the mods going to do, ban us for saying things about them in other places? We're just speaking our minds, and it's fine. I don't hate the place, but I hate some of the people who post there. Some of the mods are still cool (I'm friends with a couple of them). I just don't like people spying because I've had this happen in another group and those spies were eventually banned. And then that caused a war. |

I don't think I've been there that many times. I'm not talking Paul's board...it's another board. I would cry if I was banned from Paul's. I just wish they weren't so restrictive and I miss TMT. It's sad a couple of people can ruin it for the lot. Peace in the neighborhood, Judy |

But here's the thing: Everybody knows about this board. Anyone can read it. We don't keep it a secret, like certain others have. I don't give a sh*t if people say things about me on private boards - and I get the distinct impression that they have. The difference with this board is that anything we say is out there for everyone to see. I make no apologies for anything I've said here and I don't care if the lurkers read it or not. But if you want to go trying to use anything written here as an excuse to stir up trouble at the Macca board, then that's really low. Have the courage of your convictions next time and say it in public! |

I think it's truly pathetic that someone would spy over here or that someone would be running back to the other board and tattle, this is so 5th grade. It's an internet message board, if it's gotten that bad then I think some folks need to step away from their computers. I can honestly say I'm not losing sleep over any of this, I like both boards and I'll continue to like both boards, I just know that I don't have to be as censored over here

My prediciton came true. Some posts were removed where they were digs at Heather on pm.com.I actually did quit that other board way back in the summer or fall. I was told they removed me from the membership list at my request. Now I've been banned from all of their boards, none of which I wish to be a part of. :lol: I didn't post when I was a member at that board. I'm with you, Judy. I'd cry if I got banned from pm.com. I know we're being spied on here, but I haven't said anything I wouldn't say to people if I was allowed or if I communicated with them. |

Can I say something here ?? I like to thanks Strawberrie Fiields forum for letting me postin all the news on Paul and Heather's divorse here. I just saw that all news I did post now have more than 2.000 views, that's must say a lot, don't you think ??? I'm a person who is for freedom of speech. And I think that's is what you can't do at this moment in the broadcast forum on mp com. If I did posting all the news I did here over there, I already did get a banning because I have already two warnings at mp.com. So Andy and Fiona : THANKS to you both... Love and greetings from The Netherlands. By the way I'm an oridinairy house wife.

They are probably spying over here because its more interesting to read what we are saying as apparently we cant write anything which may cause the smallest reaction over there.Loads of my posts have been removed from over there about the seperation.I havent even been nasty to either of them. Oh well.Its cool that we can share all we have heard over here because I need to talk about it with somebody.Thats human nature I think and everyone here is being very mature about it and there have not been any arguments really or real nastiness |

I was just being nosey and went over to the "other side" and noticed a post by one of the mods that there are all kinds of new people joining everyday, and their count is up, and basically they don't miss those of us who have found a great alternative to the way we were treated over there. I just want to again thank Andy and Fiona for a nice site where we can feel free to express our opinions and engage in a little playful banter! |

Jesus Effing Christ. I just finally scooted over to Pauls place to look at Lindas new thread. I shouldn`t be shocked and surprised by what has happened and perhaps I`m not but I am very disappointed. Merry you handled yourself like a classy lady and I am proud of you. I don`t think I could have been as clear headed and tactful as you. I would have called an ass an ass. |

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 | |

I'm sure we're not missed. The easiest board to moderate is a board full of newbies (and I don't mean that in a bad way) who don't know each other and want to make "Paul is sexy" threads all the time. Then again, remember what caused the last influx of new members. It's been shown that the mods really don't like having to deal with complex discussions. note to the lurkers: I did not mention anyone by name. Did you notice that?! |
