I like the sound of the happy positive forum it sounds really cool!!!

No, seems like I got it after all: you're either a "Meat Loaf obsessed sycophant" or a "music snob with [your] head up [your] own ass", and you seem to prefer to have the former over here while the latter, pardon the French, fornicate off.

Unless I still got it wrong, and in that case, yes, it is that hard.

I'll jump in, before this thread degenerates into the slanging match that the intention was to avoid.

Let's just try to respect other peoples opinions please, and show a little restraint. That's all we ask

I still stand to reason that a little respect goes a long way.
I am not looking for fights here but I did notice alot of the time when Meat appeared on our screens there were few who liked to take that performance and peel it to shreds like an onion, when shouldn't we be grateful that he is back on our screens again, it got to the point where Meat felt he had to make a thread to forewarn us that he would be lip synching when really is that really fair:roll: ?
Though I respect people's opinions as it would be boring if we all thought the same, but to immeditaly judge someone for theirs isn't exactly fair either.
A little restraint would go a long way!

nothings wrong with negative OR positive opinions but its the way both are expressed that is wrong.....
some folk who didnt like bat3 expressed it in a terrible and argumentative way while those who thought it was fab and couldnt critisice a single aspect did exactly the same....the funny thing is the people who fall into either category dont seem to think they do...

anyway this is just another post which is saying what many others have before which will also be duly ignored because everybody knows best and nobody can tell them how to behave.
i dont know about you guys but i personally have a hell of a lot more important things going on in my life than worryng and getting stressed over this shite.

I agree.

The problem that I have is, I don't think Meat is perfect (maybe that's not a problem) of course he has he faults. So when people get on their high horse about this is a website dedicated to him so nothing bad should be said about him, I have two choices: argue because I most certainly don't agree with that, everyone has their faults and personally that's why I think today's society stinks because "my kid is perfect he'd never do something like that" suck it up the evidence is in front of you accept no one is perfect move on. Or, I can walk away and not visit here for a month or so which I have done on numerous occasions normally I don't vocalise I'm leaving just go, it's easier...

A happy forum I don't have a problem with but why must everything be positive, just because there are disagreements doesn't make a forum unhappy, just more interesting. If we all liked the same thing and didn't have an opinion, life would be more than dull.

It works both ways though...

Absolutely!
I think it´s not as black-and-white as some think here.
You can have positive and negative views about different subjects, it´s not that there are the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys'.
I want to express my opinion, whether it is positive or negative, without the feeling that I would say something I´m not allowed to say.
It´s just natural that on a forum with more than 2000 members that there are different views. And if you have a differing view from one that was posted, then express it, but respect the other opinion too. (as many said before)

And if you look at the last 10/20 posts Meat did, then look at their responses too! You´ll see that 80% of them are like "good point", "I totally agree" or "Thanks Meat!", it´s not that EVERYBODY is just posting bad things after Mr Loaf has said something!
And even if: would that be bad?
Is it forbidden to argue with Meat Loaf? If you want respect, then show respect, and respect is, for me, to be HONEST with people, and if you have a problem with what Meat said, then post it.
He´s a big boy, he can handle it!;)
If I would be Meat Loaf, I would be annoyed by bootlickers ten times more than by someone who is honestly telling me his/her opinion.

as i said both views are fine by me as long as people talk properly and not in an argumentative way....

wow, this is probably the most tear quenching thread I ever read (and the only one I read fully)

The one and only thing that stresses me out the the infraction things. I am not afraid to say I've gotten two of them in two days for unintentionally hurting someone (s).

Something as little as sarcasm could be a big offense, if not said right. Signature or post. :|

And yes, 'Zina", you have made a few (likley a lot) of freinds in those 8 months, and don't get too overwhelmed over this, but that includes me as well. ;)

:oops: - WarioLoaf blushes and lays down to take a nap.

At this point I am actually completely overwhelmed what this thread was supposed to have been about, where it's been and where it's going...

Just reading it and biding my time until I can figure out what is it that I am thinking and what is it that I wanted to say and post it here...

P.S. Infraction points were not my doing...didn't report you...YET...:twisted:

Isn't that why we're here tho' cos we all like the same thing!!

And what is more...MOST of us like each other...

Well said!!

You scare me......

J/K :shock:

:lmao: dont worry it happens to the best of us ;)

Get scared of me? Oh yeah...I am scary...that's why I have that avatar...to be EVEN MORE scary...BOOH!!!

i thought it was to seem less scary :shock:
:lawl:

No comment...just a promise...:twisted:

I WILL get you!!! :lol:

ummm i have your ticket :oops:

Oh no, you don't...I've PAID for it...
