I've requested R's permission to lock this thread down for 24 hours, which he's given.
I've been to work and let's say in depth moderation after too much rock n roll n brew isn't always the best idea
I had a brief convo with Meat last night, and he offered me some of the story (in confidence) of what's happened.
Needless to say i'm not at liberty to repeat anything that has been said in PM to any third party.
Speculation, although completely natural for the fans of an artist when there is a change in the wind, doesn't help much.
Especially when it manifests itself as anger and finger pointing.
Although Meat has given me his confidence (to an extent) i'm far from having a full understanding of the situation myself.
I want a chance to go over the thread and clean up some of the more angry speculative posts, as well as some of the in fighting.
As for deleted posts, I can confirm that Meat has in no way or form posted anything disrespectful on this forum towards Patti, but was a result of the speculation that has occurred on the thread.
I personally believe that Meat's reluctance to comment on the matter at this time is evidence that he has no wish to air dirty laundry in public and show Patti any disrespect by posting his side of the story (no dig intended towards Patti for posting on Facebook).
Weather he posts any explanation at some future time is completely up to him.
At this time i'm reminded of a quote I read on this forum that I belive has special significance.
There are three sides to each story.
One side.
The other side.
And the truth.
Will aim to have this thread up and running again by tomorrow evening.
