I have a lot of comments about what you wrote, but i'll try to restrain myself and be a bit cool headed about everything.
Okay first of all:

2. I'm an outsider. Anyone who loves Bounce and dislikes These Days is automatically tought of as a blasphamer here. Nuff said.

But really, it hurts to stay and read all of the nasty posts about Bon Jovi once you have found yourself truly in love with one of the band members.

One of your reasons for leaving the board is because you didn't win an award, correct? Call me a b!tch or whatever, but i believe that's a bit childish and/or foolish. But, hey, that's just my thoughts. It's just a board award and means absolutely nothing in your life. Winning an award wasn't going to make you the most succesful person in the world? It's not even going to even get you an inch closer to success. Life is full of disappointments, deal with it. Disappointment and failure is exactly what makes us stronger.

3. This board is getting way too nasty. I leave for a bit and come back to posts saying that Bon Jovi have lost it and can't be redeemed because they're lazy bums and write horrible songs and should retire before Jon ruins them all. Hey, isn't "the band we love"? Maybe the forum should be renamed "Bon Jovi: the band we used to love". The people who no longer like this band shouldn't dwell upon the issue and make the faithful feel so uncomfortable that they want to leave. THEY should leave. Unfortunately things don't always work out that way. I faught all I could to defend this band. I don't think I can put up with much more. I thought I'd find people like me here. I was very, very wrong.

The board wouldn't be what it is without controversy. Even though it does go a bit far sometimes, but it's all opinions, and you can't restrain someone from their opinions. there are several things you can do in threads you do not like/ feel uncomfortable in: 1) don't go into the thread at all (subjects are given for a reason
). (2) don't go into the bj forum at all, if it's all bad stuff about it, and you know it'll upset you, stay clear from it, and stay in the nbj, music, movie, etc forums

I'm sorry but i sincerly don't know how it's possible to be in true love with someone you haven't spent all that much personal time together. A crush maybe, but true love?
I know that absolutely nothing good came out of my reply, and i was more than likely a big b!tch saying this all, but it's my opinions....and my thoughts and comments. I sincerly like you and don't want you to go, but if this bitterness is going to be a habit, then why stay? It's only causing you and others (who completely dislike bitterness (ie ME) ) strain and stress. I'm not sure if this was only a spur of the moment bitterness that caused you to type this; but either way, it's your choice.
