why did you close my threads?!

[JMJ]

guys...

c'mon now. look through all my posts. never bashed anyone, never gave any false information, never pissed anyone off, until now it seems...sorry.

"so i finally figured out how to make faces and now i have to play moderator and what a waste of time"...oh gee! what a fookin shame!

i made those posts for a DAMN reason! i made thos FACES for a damn reason. and it ain't cuz i'm hammered and ain't cuz i'm high cuz i don't do that shit.

i think it absoluetly sucks you guys just shut them down without letting them take on a life of their own. if you wanted to close two of them, that'd be cool. i posted them like that so people would see them if they didn't browse through all the forums. i can see why sherman left now...this is bullshit. i was so happy with this board, until now. i think it's really unwarranted.

i wouldn't waste your space on the board, or my time or yours for that matter if i didn't have a reason to! i was trying to get people excited, and for a DAMN FUCKING GOOD REASON! did it ever occur to you i might know something? it's obvious you don't care. fine then. don't be excited about all that is surrounding VH right now, don't give someone to post what they want. i've seen pisssmonkey post absolutely stupid shit and i don't remember his threads being closed.

know what? i'm quite stoked in my own little way right now. i'm gonna go put some VH on. you guys are just gonna have to wait and keep reading and moderating everyone else's posts while i know what i know.

i could have shared, but you guys treated me like a fucking jerk.

fuck!

JMJ, your other thread was nothing.

Nothing but smileys. What the heck was THAT about?

Don't shit on the mods for doing their job, man. That isn't right.

What were they SUPPOSED to do? Let you post smileys all night long?

If you had something to post - You should've just posted it.

hey! i'm not shitting on the mods in a bad way. they've been letting threads on sherm go on and on and they don't close them. then someone happens to register under the name sherman and they flip out on him. that ain't fair. christ, it ain't the fucking sherman we know, he's fucking long gone. ask seenbad, he ain't fuckin coming back.

i made those faces cuz those faces are ones that have the expressions.."oh my god", or "holy shit..". if you knew what i did, you'd be stoked too. sometimes when you know something, your not always at liberty to say..

[Down In Flames]

JMJ, dude, you're going to get flamed if you talk about knowing something, but then not post it.

People don't like being jerked around, you know?

Just let this thread die.

[WesIsOnFire]

Quite frankly it wasn't a 'Discussion' Main'ly about Van Halen or related to the site! Now simmer down JMJ and drop by "In a Drunken Rhyme"/formerly "Atomic Drunks"/ could have been "Drop Dead Kegs" in Meeting Place (Non-Music)!

Now if Goo won't mind playing moderator one more time he can close this thread down.

Van Halen Burning the Stage Forever!!!


Having a bad day? Well VAN HALEN has been formulated to wipe those bad day blues Away!
Hide your sheep? What about Little Bo Peep?

'Dave, how will I know that I've made it?' I tell 'em, 'When you can spell 'subpoena' without thinking about it, you made it'

[JMJ]

whatever. i'm done.

this is total fucking bullshit.

[Down In Flames]

JMJ, the only bullshit I see are some useless posts.

You said you know something, taunt us, and say you can't tell.

That's not cool.

That is ALSO not the fault of the Mods. And you did insult Goo. I read the other thread.

That thread you started earlier SHOULD have been closed if you weren't going to post your "info."

Uh, JMJ? Your comin off kinda wierd here man. Like your lookin for something other than just posting news. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong. But, I have talked to sherman (in case anybody DOES ask me ), and he did not say he would NEVER come back here. He may, I dunno, he may not. aint my bidness what he does I guess.

I know your upset, but to rub noses in your vast inside knowledg is a little lame. Sorry, any similarities we have aside, thats my opinion.

you do have a point about me not speaking on the information of which i know. i am not going to argue with you there. when ur right, ur right. i did not mean anything bad by my thread and i didn't mean to annoy anyone or the mods.

there's been plenty of rumors i've read and i do not feel at all anyone is jerking my chain. i love reading everything here! it is entertaining while we wait word from VH. i think if someone feels slighted by lack of info from anyone's posts, or if they feel their chain is being yanked so to speak, then that is their decision. no one tells you to take to heart everything you read on here. if you do, you don't have much sense and you're very naieve. nothing here on this message board is written in stone, and therefore, i really do not think people should get so uptight about something they are reading that they do not know is true or not. think about it, it makes no sense at all. it's like reading the star and enquirer...do you really think it's all real?

i just think they could have let the thread go then see what happens. if it spun out of control, they could have cancelled it out ya know? it's not like it was a disaster or anything.

sorry for not saying anything. i will say one thing though. and you will be mad at me for saying this because i am not saying exactly what i know. i said i would not, i gave my word. right now, that is *very* important to me. please underatand that. so with that, i'll leave you with this.....

put all rumors aside, and have faith that DLR is back.....

"isn't van halen the cure for summertime blues?"

seenbad...

cool, not gonna argue with you. no, i am not looking for anything just trying to have some fun and get people excited that's all.

Well, so long as you're shitting on us in a good way it's just fine. You're thread had no content, and you posted it in 3 different forums. "Oh, but that was for exposure," you say. A good thread doesn't need that sort of exposure.

Here's the way I see it. You post a thread with an exciting title, but no juice. All that can do is make people say "what the hell!?" which is pointless for everyone.

Then you pull this lame-ass cock tease routine in here. Are you trying to add some mystique to yourself, or make people think you're more than you are? That's silly.

The only thing you're going to do is piss people off. I'm not pissed. I just think you want some attention, and that you don't have anything worthwhile to say.

Is that what you wanted me to think?

[Down In Flames]

JMJ, I just wish you'd have used better judgement in terms of starting a thread so strangely and then being surprised when it gets closed.

You don't help matters by continuously bringing up that you "know" something, but are unwilling to tell.

In your first post in this very thread you said...

"I was trying to get people excited, and for a DAMN FUCKING GOOD REASON!"

Then you go on to explain that you won't tell us.

It's like this... Why bring up info, if you're not going to share it?

It just isn't the right thing to do.

I'm happy you know what you know. I hope you're source is on the mark. I hope you don't taunt us again.

[JMJ]

mike..

i'm not looking to add mystique to myself or garner attention for myself either. i was simply trying to get people excited. if i went about it in the wrong way then fine, i apologize for that. i really meant no harm by it.

if you are going to think i'm doing it for attention, then that is your opinion. but i can tell you that is not the case at all. i would not judge anyone else to do that, and i don't think anyone here should judge or try to assume why i made the posts the way i did. i don't sit here and put in 1,000 to 2,000 posts in a month or two like some people. i sit here occasionally and read and/or post cuz i love the band. i'm not here to garner attention. i have enough going on in my life right now

later

yeah buddy!

i'm not taunting. i really never meant any harm to come of all this, i truly did not.

maybe i should have gone about it another way or not at all, but i did what i did and i can't change it. i don't think i should be hung for it!

just keep smiling bro, the best is yet to come!

[Down In Flames]

Hey, I've made more than 2,000 posts in 2 months.

The vast majority of them were in "The Atomic Drunks!!" thread in the non-music forum. LOL.

(And my NEXT 2,000 posts wil be "In A Drunken Rhyme." )
