Well, I for one agree with Sue here. I have several concerns about the slant and track taken and why.
I question exactly why the topic was moved to fight club and find it interesting that Sue has had comments passed to her that it is an attempt to burry the discussion from Meat, If this was the train of thought I am saddened even more.
I’m afraid I think that to say that talking about Meat’s offer was off topic is splitting hairs. A M&G is a M&G and the whole discussion was about things that had been previously mentioned on THESE forums.
The other thing that saddened yet in a way amuses me is that I have actually asked questions in my posts. An answer to my posts would be nice.
Moving a topic to Fight Club makes people nervous of posting a view and on this matter I find that totally unacceptable.
Why there cannot be a level of healthy discussion without personal attacks being made I have no idea.
There is a world off difference between saying “I don’t agree and this is why” and “ you are immature and negative to have those feelings”.
Other sites accuse mlukfc member of being mindless robots. Do we really want to prove them right.
People have in the past made provocative posts accusing members of treating Meat Loaf like a God, well yesterdays discussion was showing that he is treated like a friend or family member. If a friend of mine told me they were going to do something and later backed out I would be asking them why? What difference should it be now.
Regarding yesterdays discussion I really do think I was able to express myself in a constructive way, having said that I know I did reply in particular to Mike in the same tone and manner that he brought to the discussion, and I have no regrets about this. I found his attitude, tone and style quite objectionable and inflammatory.
An announcement is made on an open thread, hence inviting comment. Anyone can read the thread and see that all people did at first just express there disappointment and say why. Those disappointment fans were then told they were immature and negative, with an attempt made to imply that they shouldn’t have these feelings.
Simple fact THIS site was just as a vessel for an offer, I personally believe that whilst moderators/staff of this site have open communication links,which they obviously do, as Mike received and email, they should be reminding those who can effect this decision or any future one of a promise/offer made using the site THEY operate.
