There's people that do this, not necessarily because they have more to say on that specific topic but just that, there's always more to say. Kind of like a way of saying, until next time. The day I end my messages with a single period, is the day I'm sure it's going to be my last message ever .......

What do you mean by that? Are you hiding something?

Hidden message? I doubt it. He simply enjoys Japanese people. They've been kind to the band, and all 80's rock really, for years.

Because no one cared about him when Aftermath was released. This rabid and defensive fanbase didn't exist at that point and there's nothing on a year old record to capitalize on the situation with.

Honestly, I think if you were so inclined you could probably check and would learn that most of what you call "this rabid and defensive fan base" not only existed but were probably among the first of Richie's followers on Twitter. They were the same ones who hounded Luke Ebbin to get Richie to tweet and waited with bated breath for the release of AOTL. I know because I was along for that part of the ride.

I don't consider myself "rabid" and the only thing I've defended is the value of waiting until we have facts before judging Richie's motivation, much less his character. But I know that a lot of the fans who DO seem rabidly defensive became that way when people started jumping to unfounded conclusions about Richie or in retaliation against Jon's fans who labeled them as "Jon-haters" for no reason other than they supported Richie.

Fair point but I feel like they're far more vocal about getting Come back as me to radio than they were about Every Road. I'm basing this on that. If he went from cancelling shows due to lack of interest and now there's a very vocal group of people pushing the song to radio I have to think his fanbase grew, regardless of the reasons why...Agree/disagree?

I don't see a hidden message. Richie?Bon Jovi has always been very popular in Japan. I went there a few years ago and my BIL's GF is Japanese and I can say without any doubt that the Japanese are very polite and lovely people. I would go back there in a heartbeat.
