I know I've given you too much power, so I'm taking it away again and will not react to anything you do in the future.

When it gets to the point when our offline family and friends can't come on here to hear us something is wrong.  Picture this......someone has their child to sit down with them to listen to something and the first thing that they see when the page is opened is those nasty remarks....Not critique...but nasty remarks about your character.  And it could be your own sub you are showing to your child.   Well...it's happened.

Well, no disrespect meant by ME either, but from what I see...... everyone is just making it snowball by keeping it going. And, I have alot of friends here who PM and email me daily... I DO know what's going on now.

I mean, so somebody is making stupid rude comments... Do the rest of you REALLY believe what he's saying?  Truthfully Rita, Mark is a friend of mine too, I always listen to him when I'm in there, I love his singing, and he's sent me songs as well as all you other people.... But he is talented enough that he really should not take any of this to heart. The person doing it has ALREADY ADMITTED that he said everything he did out of spite... so, pretty much - he doesn't beleive what he's writing either.

So, ignore his posts. My gosh, they can't go on forever. He himself would have came out looking the bad guy for doing all the slamming.... but now, with all that's going on, it's making everyone else look just as childish.

I see nothing at all wrong with everyone subbing a song under "L" to support Mark, and show that you stand behind him. Heck, QowboyVern was run out of there for alot worse reason than Mark was. I'm not gonna post that reason here, out of respect for him- I don't know if he'd want me to.... and Tony left because a couple were saying his guitar playing was fake.... Point is, if everyone ganged up every time something like this happened, we'd be WORSE than the middle east in there. This stuff would never stop.

Somebody has got to take the first step in ending it. It's like an LA gang war... the more one side retaliates, the more the other side is gonna feel the need to, and on and on.

And as for my comment about Phil- He is NOT here to be our babysitter, people assuming he IS has finally made him come in here to speak out. He can't handle all these little squabbles for us, that's not his job. And I'm sure he doesn't want or need the drama anyhow. I think we are ALL old enough- and should be mature enough- to resolve this on our own..... and to..... BEHAVE.  Phil may add some "new rules" or "options" in the future, but he's not here to solve personal issues that should never have escalated like this to begin with.

Good god, think of all the outsiders who never post or sub either here or in SS... but come here EVERY DAY to listen to songs.... I'm sure half of them have deserted this site already, most likely rolling their eyes at us.  

But now, what's been said has been said, what's been done has been done- people have shown their loyalty... and everyone can see where everyone stands. So... it needs to end. I know it can seem serious Rita... I've been slammed on subs before, more than once, and once I even slammed back. (shame on me.. but I did) And it did hurt my feelings a bit, nobody who sings likes to be told they sound like shyt.... but that was 2 years ago, and I'm still here singing. It all was washed under the bridge, and I'm even civil with this person now, cause we got past it. I did not allow friends to bash that person back, I did not hold a vendetta against them, I did not PM Phil to make them stop.... I handled it, and it went away.

I do not dislike ANYONE who is involved in this, I'm not gonna stop listening to any of them (though... he he... maybe they'll do that to ME next after this)... I just wish it would end. Cause it's certainly NOT gaining anybody anything. It's wasting time that could be spent subbing and listening.  The points have all been proven... so let it rest.

I don't expect Phil to babysit us but there should be some rules.  And if I'm not mistaken there is a rule against this sort of thing.  But where is the enforcing it?
I realize Phil can only do so much.  I don't blame him.  

We need rules and we need those rules to be enforced.

well guys.. speaking from experience as well as talking to Phill on other matters... Phill isn't the guy who makes the decisions around here.. so by asking Phill to create rules and such.. you're really barking up the wrong tree.. no matter what rule you are trying to suggest... so all that is happening is people are getting a negative impression of him.. when its not his duties to begin with..

There's this link
<<<<< Contact Us  at the very bottom of Karaoke Scene section on the left side of the page.. that goes to the powers that make the decisions..

pm'ing Phill for rules and such is not the answer.. it goes beyond his responsibility as well it should..

Charmin,
I mean no disrespect to you but there is nothing funny about what has been going on.  It was time for Phil to get involved.  It's not a matter of "behave".  This is a lot more serious than you even realize.

ahh whatever happened to the good ol days.. with Hulk Hogan.. Jessie Ventura.. (Oh yeah pre-Gov days)... Andre the Giant.. Jake the Snake.. Hart Foundation..
