The user with the name "Username"- please use more imagination.Someone used a symbol once and I refused to converse. You could be a BOT from Porcupine Management. Either way more effort please if you want an argument on here.
So..I encourage more transparency on VT.
well, i just wanted to see if there was any audio and setlists from the last tour but i had to sign up to just access the site (which i asked about and was given the answer, part of which it was to encourage more people to take part) and having gone to the time and effort to sign up i felt obligued to have to comment
likewise, reading this thread and seeing a lot of comments seemingly attacking someone who is clearly going through a bad time, someone who is supposed to be your hero is astounding. no you shouldn't blindly follow everything they do but if someone seems to be struggling with addiction then (i can't remember who it was) people saying that it is affected and that you need evidence that it is real shows a staggering lack of compassion for another human being who is clearly in pain.
lastly, if you think expressing displeasure at others seemingly 'attacking' someone who seems to need help is the prelude to an arguement then, well, that in itself says far more than i could. also if you wish to 'refuse to converse' then good for you, exercise those rights, mr smith, if indeed that is your real name
likewise if you read any of this as provkative then, see above.
maybe more people would visit and post if people were friendler? with a few exceptions (allthatjazz, black chery to name but two) this site seems very much like a closed club. So..I encourage more freindliness and compassion on VT
