I'm not going to post them again, but another post that might refresh your memory is the guy who said that he hoped the St John's Ambulance staff who were walking into the venue were there to look after the guy who is dying on stage.
The scales are not really balancing true here.

I haven't told people they can only post positive comments about the shows.
As a fan, i'd be
personally inclined to suggest that a positive vibe would be a good thing rather than concentrate on the few negative comments, but I know how popular
that would be
So i've not told people to post only positive Tweets, i've told people not to post ANY Tweets.
If you'll read my posts again, you'll see that if a member of the forum, even a first time user, has an opinion on the show (positive or negative) they are completly at liberty to express it here on the forum.

There's a difference (IMHO) between sharing a youtube vid or a quote from Meat, and sharing negative and hurtful comments from a social network site that includes users that......
A. Have probably been dragged along by their partner.
and B. Last heard from Meat in 1993 and expect him to look the same, sound the same, and sing Anything For Love and the track list of Hits Out Of Hell.
We can argue round the houses from now till the rapture about this.
I think i've made our position on this quite clear.
Anything I can say has already been said in my posts above, and the post on the thread where the Tweets were first posted.
If you don't get it, read them again.
If you still have a problem with the blanket ban on Tweets, contact the webmaster.
Fin!
