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.

Keba, I don't know you very well but I've enjoyed your posts in the past including those on the Bongiovis thread. You are sooo right about how nasty this board has become. I've been coming here for years and only really started posting just lately in defense of the band and several people on this board. It's clearly not the community it once was. It's become more of a "Let's Bash The Band and Anyone Who Stands Up For Them" rather than how much we have enjoy that band's music and what the band has given us over the years. It's now become a place where you have to qualify what you love about the band instead of just being accepted for loving them without any strings attached. I agree it has become a very uncomfortable place. All I can say is STAY! Don't go! Don't let THEM win! They are clearly not worth it! I think if we ignore these people and carry on board conversations around their posts they will eventually get the message that this board is for fans of Bon Jovi who, for their own reasons, love them. BTW if you feel like an outsider look around! There are a lot more outsiders here than you think - I love Bounce, too! I love every album (even TLFR) the band has done and I'm not going to have anyone put me down for that so don't you let them get you down!
