don't worry too much mate,what will happen is someone will try and rationalise it,then someone else will come in and tell them they're wrong.it's usually the same person that tells everyone they are wrong.the old forum was worse for it,that's not to say everyone isn't huge fans of the band,it's just people clashes a fair bit,particularly on the old forum.
i'm awaiting eagerly being told how wrong i am.

I usually keep out of these things... I'm not really qualified to comment either, but I think that I should say something. I know nothing of the history of this board because I wasn't there. That's why I'm not qualified to comment, but I really don't like what this thread has become. I was at the aftershow in London. I wasn't supposed to be, but I was there. I got a band with the help of some of the people having a go had at them up there for being cliquey, who didn't know me but saw me as a fellow tones fan and were nothing short of lovely and friendly. I have made actual, proper friends during the farewell tour, people who I wish to keep in touch with and I've already received parcels from two of them... Not the kind of thing that seems elitist and cliquey in any way to me. I guess that I'm so angry is that for me, the Bluetones were always a friendly band with nice fans, so why? Seriously why pick a fight here? my only contribution to put to you is to repeat exactly what i put in the very first thread.... it was all so ace, i wanted more, this board gave it for a long while then slowly but surely became a let down. doesnt detract from the many, many wonderful friends i have made - theres just always bound to be the handful that ruin the record for me personally..... ive been on bluetones forums for over 10years, in that time theres probably only about 2 utter cunts and 2 or 3 dickheads... thats really not a bad ratio when compared to the amount of proper friends; its just unfortunate that theyre the ones that hang around putting themselves about everywhere you want to be. so you distance yourself from it without too much fuss or frenzy. thats a choice you make, noone makes it for you, you do it because why put yourself in a position youre not comfortable with and its just an easy life if you want it to be. in doing so, theres always a risk your friends will start stirring or call you cliquey and have a go at you on the forum you still look at once in a while but i think they only do so because they are bored and want something to do or to get a bit of conversation going. it usually works. also - i wasnt the one having a go at people for being cliquey, i was had a go at for it but im quite happy not to have to like everyone just for the sake of it.... good for you that you got something out of whoever and so are indebted to them and like them and want to stick up for them..... but that doesnt mean i have to pretend to like everyone too. and it doesnt mean it has to become a subject on here all the time either. i love the bluetones, thats really all i wanted to say on the thread.

Strange that the cunts and dickheads made far more friends in far less time.

strange too that the affections had to be bought. With some mp3's and some sweets? Yes, I really am that cheap. Clearly. There's some goats clip clopping across your bridge that require attention. Have a lovely day. X

clearly you are when you use getting something from someone as a reason to defend someones actions - if you knew anything about the actions in question, youd probably have kept your sticky beak OUT.
this thread was created to share my personal feelings about my own experiences of the bluetones.... i didnt ask anyone to reply getting all judgeMENTAL and adding more fuel to the negative side of those experiences.

Sticky Beak? And here's me thinking that Forum meant a group of people sharing their opinions. Silly me.
As ever, have a lovely day. All the very best to you and yours.
