I actually agree with it myself. This is a fan forum run by fans, and Meat signed up for it just as did any other individual who posts here. That it is dedicated to him and discussions about him means that he should be shown every courtesy and consideration absolutely.... and anything disrespectful and inflamatory directed at him would be as unwanted as towards any other member of the forum here.

Just my own thoughts....

Di

It is not a private forum, whislt you have to sign up to post - it is placed openly on the world wide web and can be viewed by anyone.
Apart from that Di I totally agree with the rest of your post and imo if he had been shown every courtesy and consideration absolutely and if anything disrespectful and inflamatory towards him had been treated as unwanted instead of the old hoary chestnut of freedom of speech/expression being used to suit - I don'tthink we'd be having this discussion now.

This is an addition to my post re: the announcement I just read from R. on the Liar thread and what is acceptable for posting here at the forums. So if in any way this last post of mine broke any of the rules established I apologize.

Likewise Di - didn't even know it was there - but this thread had been left open so I think we're ok

Irrespective if Meat posts on here or not he posts under a pseudonym 'Fire Ball' and not his real name and therefor he should have to abide by the rules that govern this forum the same as everyone else.

It seems that Fire Ball is a guilty of causing as much if not more trouble than any other individual, by coming here and shouting the odds in the manner that he does. Then having the Meat Police defend him.

I think it's double standards like this that gets the board going haywire and people agitated.

Clear definitive rules for ALL is what's needed.

We can hardly ban the person that this site is dedicated to, that is just crazy!

Pudding · 27 Feb 2004, 00:42

What's crazy is people who cheer Meat when he makes a heated statement but jeer anyone else who makes one, that's just plain hypocritical.

Although I agree that the people who made certain statements should have thought about what they wrote first and to be honest would have been better off not posting them at all, I can't accept Meat Loaf making a similar statement and getting applauded for it.

I'll always salute people who makes a stand for what is right. I'll never accept that some people feel they need to kiss arse just to get along. Unfortunately the latter is rife on this board and I don't have to go too far to point some out.

I think that one rule suffices:

"All opinions are valid, but don't be rude".

And I think that too, but the real question that was posed in this topic, was wether or not that rule should apply to Meat too. Because I think that his latest outburts were way beyond what I'd call rude.

What's immature is peoples unwillingness to openly discuss something because it might upset someone i.e. Meat Loaf. Surely the sooner things get discussed then the sooner they can get sorted out and the sooner things can get back to normal, if they ever was in the first place.
