Re: discord
Idk, I guess I would consider myself an 'old guard' fan even though I was too young to see them in the 70s. From a recording standpoint, I definitely think they still have stuff to offer up to and including Infinite. While I might not like most of the songs on it, the ones I like I love.
My biggest gripe is from the live standpoint, mainly revolving around the setlists and like leelyt points out, the vocal aspect. I haven't seen them since the Bananas tour and even if they do come back through the States again, I don't see that changing.

Re: discord
You will fine intolerant fans old and new. I started listening to DP in 1973. I think every line up has something to offer.

Re: discord
By saying that one particular group of fans is the worst is surely in itself intolerant?
Most line-ups have something of merit, even the S&M line up were musically excellent live.
MK I, DP(the third album) is one of my favourite DP albums.
MK II, IR and Fireball are classic albums. MH is also but became redundant to me after the release of MIJ.
MK III, both Burn and Stormbringer are classic albums in my eyes, although very different to MK II.
MK IV, Excellent album.
MK IIb, As stated previously, I love PS and also like HOBL. Loved the Knebworth show in 85, and the NEC in 1987.
Since HOBL there have been tracks on most albums that I like (ROTD apart, can find nothing on this album), but in all honesty I sort of lost them after JLT and then IG coming back again. Purpendicular had some excellent ideas, mostly from SM, but the album to me, whilst better than S&M and TBRO is a disappointment.
I like the odd track on most albums, maybe more on Infinite than any other album.

The only one I know for sure is "Gillans Micstand". But he was a pro Gillan guy (and quite funny too), but hated by the very intolerant Blackmore camp at that time.
One of them a "moderator" and not unlike moderators in Stephen King books..
He clearly took stand for his beloved Blackmore and Daniel, you know who I'm talking about.
Others here of course loved this guy..

GM was someone who thought he knows everything better. He did endless monologues towards everyone who dared to disagree with him, with horrible grammar, painful to read especially for those who don't speak English as their native language. He was the grandmaster of "I know better than you because...". He certainly was a Gillan lover, but not a Blackmore hater.
At the DP Hub, he was a loyal employee for the admin who deliberately suppressed free speech and threw everyone out who didn't glorify his administration policy.
I don't miss GM. But he is by far not the only one who was banned here.

Nope, I was too. For what I really don't know.
Never got into the hub, it was to restricted as you say. Not my cup of tea.
Anyway, some of the worst Blackmorons were banned too. Can't remember their names though.

I absolutely loved Stormbringer when it came out. But also got Burn in the spring of '74 and that one was just amazing.
Didn't like CTTB as much then but have developed a love for this one too. And MIE.
