No Richie on current leg of the tour

I could have slipped a seemingly ambiguous comment into a post that was clearly aimed at certain people then when I was called out on it, I could act all emotional and hurt as if I really hadn’t meant any harm at all; attempting to make others seem irrational and unfair.

Oh look. I just did.

I am not picking and creating an alter-ego of you… you favour Jon, you detest the people Richie has around him and you seem to revel in anything that makes him look like a twat. Anyone who reads your posts can see that. That’s fine but embrace it, don’t run away from it and act like an injured bird every time someone has a different opinion. At the beginning of all this, all I said was, I didn’t understand why a friend tweeting how happy he was, was received with such animosity. But this grew into a wider debate about Richie’s involvement in music/fashion etc outside of Bon Jovi and our overall acceptance of it as Bon Jovi fans. Do you want to give your opinion or do you want me to do it for you, seeing as I know you so well?

I defended Richie time and time again, here and elsewhere, I love the man and this ordeal saddens me beyond words can say. You know what I think so damn well, that you don't even know I'm beyond this versus match crap. If there's a conflict ("if" still mandatory, although less and less with every passing day), I don't think it's a Jon/Richie thing, I believe all of the band or at least a third member is involved. So, yeah, you know so much about what I think, right. You're arrogant if you think you can speak for others, plain and simple. You can think whatever the **** you want, but no, you can't speak for me, I'm perfectly able to do it myself. Stop trying to do it for me. And for the record, no, I wasn't talking about you when I mentioned the "bodyguards". I wasn't talking about anyone in particular, otherwise I would have made names.

You weren’t speaking about me, great; I even questioned whether you were or not in the original post. YOU were the one who said I apparently speak for you, I only made the one reference to you and that was it. And I DID name names. If you say you do the same, fair enough, crack on, go for it, enjoy yourself. I referred to you directly over ONE comment and then the conversation developed into something interesting on this thread, for a change but somehow, it always comes back to an argument and it gets emotional.

I truly don’t care what you think of me and you’re the one making this all about you, missus. Seriously, chill out.

I am not a huge fan of that slow style that him and Jon automatically think is emotive because it is slow, when in fact it is boring. However, let's be honest, it is infinitely better than Come Back As Me.

Highjacking threads with your constant whining, blah blah. Its too negative. Get a grip. Cheer up, get laid (if your old enough) and just chill the **** out. 1000 posts of just moaning. We get it that you love this band - as you tell us on every post. Be happy, smile and be constructive.
