The reason people stopped posting about Bon Jovi is because they no longer care about Bon Jovi. Danfan posts a topic in which he describes how he's losing his interest in the band, just isn't that excited anymore and most users on here agree with him. All this "you're the reason people stop posting" is just another reason to act all pissed off at a situation beyond your control. You need someone to blame, so let's blame the one who's saying the most things you don't want to hear. Most friends of mine on this board have moved on to other bands, and they were the ones who kept things going.

And if you really want to discuss something, feel free to reply. You disagree with me saying I'm a better guitarist than Bobby? Reply and question my ability. Think I can't write better lyrics? Reply. Question my ability. Think I'm not a better singer than Jon is? (I can't recall having seriously said this) Reply. It's easy. I don't mind people questioning my ability and challenging me, much like nickolai did when I did say I write better lyrics than Jon does. And if you disagree? So be it. I'll still think I'm better, you'll think I'm shit, end of story. But no, the only way people seem to be able to communicate is through personal attacks, much like you're doing right now.

I don't think I've ever, ever said anything bad towards you, so I don't really understand your frustation with me and don't get why you feel you should attack me on a personal level. Your "He'll say my English is terrible, nobody knows who you are" are things I have never said on this board, and if I did it should be quite obvious that I'm taking the piss. Pretty much your entire description of my motivations of posting is blatantly wrong and full of contrasts between one statement and the next. You're saying this used to be a great place, and I've been posting here for pretty much 12 years or so. When was this a great place for you exactly? If anything, my tone has become milder lately, and I've started posting less, so how could this be less enjoyable for you than it was in the past? Your rant in regards to "without having to offend everyone who disagrees with you. " sounds nice, but you're making it sound like as if I'm offending everyone here all the time. I'm not. There's more people on here offending me on a regular basis than the other way around. Like you're doing right now.

There's an insane amount of people who's sole reason to post here is actually because of what I say. They come crawling out of the woodwork as soon as they find a way of trashing my name again, and yes, I don't really care. It's just really pathetic that their sole reason to post here is actually because of me, and not because of the band. They rarely show their opinion on the band, but are first in line to give their opinion on me whenever I say something they don't like. It got up to the point where someone started stalking me, logging in as soon as I had replied just so they could continue their peronal vendetta towards me. And then they'll bitch on how "No one respects anyone here anymore" much like you're doing right now.

Lately it's as if anything I'll say has to be disected by some weird individuals simply to start another fight on here. Look up my posts and any discussion of the last few years. People rarely question my opinion, but always seem to take things personal when I think something they like is shit. I'm rarely the one who starts calling names, starts putting people down, yet as soon as I do so and treat others the way they treat me, people get all butthurt. If you're talking about respecting someone's opinion, why can't you respect mine?

This place used to be great because people took the piss all the time, had a sense of humor and just "got it". No one seems to get "it" anymore. Things posted as a joke get taken out of context and result into another pointless argument supported by a few individuals forgetting they're the ones who're starting most fights here. You can either contribute and add something to this board you feel is missing, or you can wind up sitting on your ass and only complain about how it's not up to your personal standards.

So yeah, if you want to discuss things, discuss things.

Salaam Aleikum,
