Over on the Jon HATERS Facebook page, they have publicly thanked Tyler Lund for posting this........

Then they carry on their Jon bashing, not that im on either side, but any mention of Richie being even slightly in the wrong, sets of a tirade of anti Jon posts and Richie is god etc etc

I can't bring myself to thank a Lund or Borg for anything at this point. If there is any truth to the 30 years gone Reed article - it's that someone appears to have something to gain by this fan divide. I personally hate it and find it disrespectful to any of them. They spent 30 years together, now what happened we can all only speculate and try to put puzzle teases together to formulate our opinions. Jon probably is quite a task master but I must give him cred for appearing to be a solid business man. Richie, IMO is an artistic, creative soul and sometimes they can take too much to heart. My daughter is an artist and maybe that's why I tend to lump the personality traits. I adore RS as I've said many times to my core, but I do see fault on both sides and BOTH should respect the fan base enough by this point to have said something on the record. And, no matter how much I think of RS, I do believe the ball is more in his court and I believe that's where this outside influences in his circle now hurt. I don't give them enough credit to have caused this, but milked it to death. :(

Of course someone has something to gain. I very much doubt Sean Borg is doing all this pro-Richie publicity for free. He's clearly being paid by Richie as his PR which is the moment this all went right downhill and was simply a bad, bad choice whether or not there's any truth to the "reports" Borg puts out.

sean borg is nikki lunds/nikkirich PR not richies....

Publicity for Richie equals publicity for NikkiRich. If you think he has no hand in the publicity nightmare that this has all turned into, then you are terribly naive.

not sayin he doesnt get publicity... its a win win on both sides.. & its a fiasco. :cry:

Richie standing around selling women's scarfs and knickers is the lowest point of this band's history.

TLFR beats that, Richie should have been wearing women underwear on live TV to beat that..

if you watch the hidden extras on the DVD that came with the TLFR limited edition, where the band are playing poker, Jon actually claims TLFR is mostly Richies idea and work,
I have always thought that the CEO said this becuase he knew it was going to go down like a lead balloon......
