Certain familiar boardies decided to get argumentative over the fact that one poster made a negative statement against Dubya. Then another poster accused someone of having lost their marbles for saying such a thing. Liberals were branded as hate mongers and berated over and over for not speaking up against Bush bashing, and why didn`t they complain about the Bush bashing. It turned into a but she started it, I`m sure you can figure out who it was based on this brief description.

OK - this is my take on what happened in the WT - USA thread without mentioning any names (and this is paraphrasing); Someone (who is a member here) apologised to the rest of the world on behalf of America for George W. Bush and his behaviour. Someone else (who is also a member here) agreed with him. A third person (who is not a member here) then said that US liberals were the most hateful group of people as they hate & attack people who do not subscribe to their political agenda. So... the first two members criticised one person, the President. The third person criticised 49 million people - and that's just the figure for the Democrats who voted at the last election. Nothing ever changes.

Like, I saw it all, man! Like, the one dude was all like, "Dubya totally sucks, and I'm like sorry to the whole world and stuff!" Then the other dude says like, "Shut up, you pinko commie liberal, why do you guys, like, totally harsh on anybody who's not like you dudes and stuff!" And then this one chick, she says, like, "Dude, you need to up the meds a little, 'cause yer like such a mean person!" And then the dude totally was all, like, up in the chick's stuff and stuff! I was reading all this and thinking these two dudes both deserve, like, a warning each, even though the second dude seriously deserved one more, ya know? But the chick, duuuude, she was awesome! Like, she was so cool and level headed and stuff! I was totally digging on her peaceful vibes, 'cause that second dude totally was, like, a seriously bad dude, and I PM'd the chick 'cause she's, like, a TOTAL fox, even though I've never seen her and stuff, and I told her she was, like, so cool the way she handled that stuff, and like, she PM'd me back and was just soooo awesome to me too!

During the time the Macca board was down I was playing EQ2 & SWG -- and wondering if I was banned for some reason. Today I read the TMT thread in the Tech. Support forum and saw a link to this board. Also makes me wonder if they want me to go back to my 3 pages per post habit that I had in 2002 [on] one particular board... Ok I exagerated a bit.. it was 1 page per post. |

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
|
I saw the posts on the Macca Over the US thread...and it didn't surprise me a bit. Even though I've never personally had anything to say to this person...I'm always a bit taken aback at how much venom they spew...they seem so angry! On another note...a post of mine was edited on the "Wisconsin" thread...I'm not quite sure why...I think because I mentioned being sad for Paul and Heather. It wasn't discussing their current situation...there were no opinions or anything of that sort...just me feeling bad for them. I don't get it. And why would a 'mod' happen to look in the Wisconsin thread for something so innocent to edit out? I know this probably sounds paranoid...(ok, not probably...it does) but I feel that because I'm a member of this forum...my posts on the PM board are more closely monitored. Does that make any sense at all?

I think I'm getting the picture. I was told that no political statements would be allowed in the thread and was surprised when one of the first ones was a political statement. I'm not surprised by who jumped in and I'm glad those are all gone. I was told this morning as long as everyone plays nice, the thread can stay. |

I quoted the post about Liberals being full of hate and not tolerant of others, saying that this Liberal wasn't happy to read those comments and that most people think the opposite of me. I said I didn't realize that thread was going to be a political thread and that I wouldn't waste any more time there. I thanked feact for welcoming me there, but said I wouldn't be back. The person making the statement about Liberals being full of hate quoted me and said more about it all, saying that what was said was in fact true. My post was edited, leaving just my thank you to feact. I then edited that, asking that my post be deleted rather than edit it to change my comments, but that was not done. I never posted on political threads on TMT and now I see that I should have ignored it all yesterday too and just stayed away, but that was such a ridiculous statement that I couldn't help but comment. Now I see that it's been turned into an international soccer thread!! WHATEVER!! |

It's going to be removed. I was asked by a mod if I was 100% certain I wanted it removed. I went and read it and it's just a bunch of crap about soccer and why they can talk about European soccer and not US politics, so I told the mods to remove the thread. They can bash me all they want. I know they already are. I told the mod somebody else can start a new one and I won't be participating in such garbage. I don't want to be the thread starter for what it turned into. I thought it was a good idea, but it didn't turn out that way. |

Thats a good question Merry. I know some of them do miss it and would like to see it back. I think they will bring it back in a bit and see how it goes and if things get out of hand again, it will be taken away for good. I also think there is work and effort to be put in on both ends.

It's gone as I requested. Tony, it wasn't your fault. It was because it was turning into a discussion of European soccer and that has nothing to do with the USA. So, I had it removed. And, yes, politics would have made people think, so it couldn't be allowed. |

Tony, that just gave someone, who is not a member here, an excuse. All those posts had been removed by the time I got home from work. Now that someone is taking pot shots at at least me in the TMT thread over there. He has been saying I called him a liar for months and months and months and now is saying that anyone who calls anyone a liar should have their IP recorded and never be allowed to access the site again. His posts today are utterly ridiculous. He's talking about name calling and he's the one who does most of the name calling on that board. He didn't mention a thing about making racist comments being a reason for being banned and I have those saved on my computer. Guess he can't find anyone to argue with. I was told he wouldn't let it go in the thread I started and it would appear nothing was done to him as he is still there. That is about strike 500, by my count. :angry: Holly, I really liked your post. I've never had a warning or a mod advisory either. I've initiated discussions with mods over certain issues, but the mods never initiated anything with me. The reason I had them delete the USA thread is that turned into a discussion of European soccer, which had nothing to do with the USA. If it wasn't going to relate to the US, I didn't want to be a part of it. |

My post wasn't directed at any one person in particular.

I'm doing fine. I said what you had about never having been warned a few pages earlier. Nobody ever did warn me about anything there, but I have communicated with the mods. Actually, the one I dealt with on the USA thread was very nice and I have only nice things to say about how this was handled. I asked to have it removed and once I confirmed I was 100% certain I wanted it removed, it was gone. Can't ask for more than that. |

manon, it's hard to explain. In some of the threads in TMT, there have been disagreements for years. I think, and this is my opinion only, most of the threads were harmless and most of the participants did nothing wrong. Unfortunately, a few troublemakers ruined it for everyone. |

So you think it is nothing in particular ? I thought that maybe, I miss something. Thank you Linda for your reply. I thought I was the only one to be in the dark. |

I don't know why they made the decision to pull the entire forum. They could have removed the controversial threads and accomplished the same thing. Now the board has little life to it. Maybe if Paul tours again.... But for now, it's a pretty dull place. |

Yes it seem "colder". I can live without TMT, but this particular part of the forum give a friendly touch to the place. I mean posting on a forum is a hobby for me, but after many years, I have met many nice people and TMT give me the occasion to stay in contact with some of them. |

That is what I miss the most. I "met" a lot of people there and made a lot of "friends" in that forum. I am so thankful for Andy and Fiona for starting this forum so we can stay in touch. There still would have been the Toronto thread, manon, and we'd have still met. |

Same here - I joined the "official" board to talk about Paul and the other Beatles with fellow fans so I mostly stick to those areas. I didn't post much in TMT - I started an "inspirational quotes for everybody" thread and talked a bit about some other celebrities that I like in other peoples' topics. I did get into a couple of minor religious tiffs with a member or two but they were settled amicably without the interference of "management" And I had one picture of myself standing in front of Paul's house in St John's Wood back in 1968 removed for "privacy reasons" It seemed silly to me since it's a very famous house - the whole world prob'ly knows what it looks like and Paul wasn't anywhere in the picture unfortunately - but the pulling of the pic wasn't a big deal to me. And I understand why they are censoring the Paul-and-Heather-breakup threads. It is Paul's board after all. Maybe if I were more of an active poster in TMT I'd have witnessed more of the repression so many of you are talking about but as it is, I'm still happy to be there, and I'm also happy to be here.CatAnna Remembering The Beatles http://www.catanna.com/beatles.htm |

I got a PM on the Macca board and now know for certain we are being spied on. Big surprise. I won't be responding to that person. So, when you read this, no reply on pm.com. |

I don't know whether they we're 'out of control', per se - I believe the moderators were (and are) following the board's policy set by the admin team (and higher). |

I think we should give the mods a break. I've talked a couple of them and they all seem to have their hands tied. They keep saying they don't favor anyone, and they've punished their friends. It's the admins who should be blamed for the strict nature over there, but some the restrictiveness is valid, because of the stuff that has been said about Paul and Heather. I mean take what has been going on with their split. If there wasn't any retstrictions on what people could say I KNOW there would be hundreds of posts bashing Heather because there are so many people who hated her. And bashing anyone of Paul's family is a no no on his official board, IMHO. The mods have a freaking thankless job. They are as Holly nicely put it, "Damned if they do and damned if they don't." |

JLB, I suppose they must keep it more controled as it is Paul's official site. I do like knowing that I can say what's on my mind here within reason of course. |

Molly, with all due respect, one minute you're slamming the board/mods and the next your supporting it/them. I couldn't tell you how you really feel on the issue because you have said just about everything at one point or another. One minute you state that you're never going back, the next your appologizing for saying that you're never going back. |

I suppose it's a difficult position to be in...sort of like my middle management job. There's many policies I don't support, but have to acquiesce to the higher ups, while staying true to myself and those I supervise - not always an easy balance to maintain. |

Honesty without Fear. It seems that some people can't even be honest on this board...now for 'fear' of other people reading their posts and reporting it back to who knows who. They can't seem to make up their minds..."I hate the PM board...I love the PM board...I love the Mods...I hate the Mods"...going in circles for what? Saying what you think people want to hear...but not knowing your own point of view. I find the whole board VS board silly and ridiculous...and its beyond pathetic that people are indeed 'spying' on others here. Honestly...I'm too old for that kinda bullshit. What I do love about this board is that MOST people have found honesty without fear...and isn't it refreshing? Its a wonderful atmosphere to post in and carry on adult, civil conversations. Free at last...free at last...Thank You, Andy and Fiona. |

Isn't it though? I don't hate the mods. I do think that I have witnessed much favoritism there. I was happy with the mod who removed the thread I started. That is one of the few things I have been happy with about the mods there. Two of my complaints did get sent to Admin. Admin there is cold and worse than the mods, so I think they are taking a lot of direction from Admin and that is their job. Admin there can't see anything, even after you've shown it to them in black and white. |

Yes, I saw that baby boy was at it again. He has always spewed hogwash but to now want to ban someone because other people have jumped into the argument is purely ignorant and ridiculous. If that were the case than he has no place else to look but in the mirror. Now who is being 'honest' there? |

The guy you're mentioning *waveing to him if he's reading this* totally went off on me about that. I wish they would ban his butt already. And I'm not being two faced as a few of you think. When this whole thing started I was torn of which place to go. I got really ticked off at what was going on, but I don't hate anyone. And I'm not afraid of anyone "spying" here and reporting what I say here because um the mods can't do a darn thing to me if I post something here. |

Why do we feel like we are in the wrong here? I think if we were given the chance to be totally honest without fear of recrimination on pm.com than this board would probably not exist. In a way we were being forced to make a decision that not all of us liked because of the way we were made to do it. I hate that TMT is gone for now but why should we care what somebody else thinks of us or says about us on another board? They will think and say whatever they want to anyway. We know why we are here and we know that this place is enjoyable. We still care about the friends that we left behind and it isn't as if we can't make our contributions there. I say we can still kick some ass here and kick it there as well so let's do it. |

Okay, now you gotta tell me what happened!?! C'mon, spill it!!
do it for the children?
Certain familiar boardies decided to get argumentative over the fact that one poster made a negative statement against Dubya. Then another poster accused someone of having lost their marbles for saying such a thing. Liberals were branded as hate mongers and berated over and over for not speaking up against Bush bashing, and why didn`t they complain about the Bush bashing. It turned into a but she started it, I`m sure you can figure out who it was based on this brief description.

Ummm I don't know what your talking about.
