Some people, I suppose me included, posted some worthwhile posts in this section but I suspect they can't be bothered (I know I can't) to wade through countless idioting bashings anymore just to get a single piece of news or opinion which actually tackle JLT and his work.
This section of the forum really has gone down the toilet if you ask me and if I was one of the admins I'd just either a)delete it altogether since most of it is people trolling around or b)remove all offending threads (a bit hard since some people seem to have nothing else to do with their day than slag Turner off!).

We are trying to stop that, Christos. Please don't be put off from posting some discussions about JLT's music. It would make a nice change.

The JLT bashing thread has been closed, and this thread shows the reasons behind it.
So things are being done!
Now if people could just stop complaining about this board and post some topics about JLT, then things really would get back to normal!

a) It's the same boat for non-JLT fans, Christos. We have to wade through countless idiotic (your word, not mine ) praisings of this epitome of mediocrity which to us represent a complete waste of space - which leads rather neatly into part b...
b) It was always my opinion that there never should've been a JLT board on either the old forum or this one. He's simply not deserving of it, in the context of this being primarily a Deep Purple forum. At best, he should be discussed on the "Ritchie + related" board, or in "Purple Discussions".
This thing about "removing all offending threads" is pure hogwash. It's simply another manifestation of a few who want their way and that's that. If that's the type of forum that JLT fans wish for regarding him - why not start or join one that's set up that way? Oh, that's right...there probably isn't one on the entire web, is there? Or is the embarressment of having a dead forum to much for JLT fans to bear? I haven't bothered to search, so why doesn't a JLT fan do so, and post the results? Those aren't sarcastic questions, I'd really like some answers.
Again, saying that non-JLT fans have "nothing better to do with their day than slag Turner off" is merely the opposite side of the same coin...people suffering from advanced cases of Squealyitis seem to have nothing better to do than to (once again) overpraise this example of stunning mediocrity to the point of stupefication. I admit that's a cheap shot - but one good cheap shot deserves another, wouldn't you say?
I've noticed that the squawlings about the "JLT bashing" STILL haven't stopped (though the "bashing" stopped over 2 months ago - it was too easy and was getting a bit boring, even to me) - is it because those affected by squealyitis REALLY don't have anything interesting to say or discuss? That's not sarcasm, that's a legitimate question, by the way. It's been weeks now, and still nothing of import and a mere handful of new topics/postings...it seems the JLT fanbase is simply determined to have him "respected" here in PurpleWorld - much like young children who are satisfied when their parents sit and watch the Banana Splits with them - the kids think their parents actually like it, not realizing it's easier to watch and put a stop to the children's incessant squealing than any liking of the show.
Face it JLT fans, the guy's a mere footnote in Purple history, as I opined before "not a necessity - a simple, easily replaced accessory."

Whatever. Like I can be bothered to come up with a serious reply to someone who spends all his day twisting Purple lyrics in a pathetic attempt to slag someone off. Whatever you might say about JLT at least has a job and a life. I doubt you have any of either.
PS. I never said JLT was a Purple necessity or the best singer ever. Noone here has. Maybe if you spent some time reading posts instead of typing away drivel (how ironic ) on your sticky keyboard you'd realise that.

d) Wrong again. It takes seconds...sometimes a minute.
e) Your opinion - fair enough.
f) Ah, so now the personal stuff starts. It was merely a question of time, wasn't it? By the way, you're quite wrong - not that it matters much to me what you doubt or not.
g) And I never said YOU did say that. It's my perception of the place of JLT in Purple's history. And it has been implied + said by others - and that would be their take on the same subject, wouldn't it?
h) Sound advice - I suggest you start following it.
i) More sound advice! Perhaps you should try following that bit, too! Seeing as you're the devotee of the "Drivelous One", I guess we know who has the sticky keyboard, don't we? I never particularly cared to speculate as to the condition or hygenic status of your keyboard - but thanks for the tip!
Now perhaps you'd like to partake in a discussion - because you're gonna lose an insult contest. It's just simply amazing to me how personally you JLT fans take any criticism, kidding or anything short of adoration regarding your guy...I think you may need to realize we're only talking about Joe Linquito, fer chrissakes.

Re: Respect for JLT
I'll end my piece here by saying you're a very sad person and whoever made you a moderator needs to have a second think about it.
Also, for your information you are the person with the most posts on the JLT section of the forum (and I thought I was a JLT fan). Seeing how much you hate the guy and his work that is a bit weird, don't you think?! Or maybe like you say you're just trying to be ... humorous.

Ed - he's an ex-member of Purple, whether you like it or not - one of the more active ones in terms of output recently.

Just like the Jon Lord board in fact. Maybe Jon doesn't deserve his own board either?
Maybe the content of this board puts people off posting serious posts about JLT?

a) Right back atcha, Christos. Just remember - you're the one who decided to make it personal. I'm still willing to make it about JLT - but evidently you're not.
Once again, my status as a moderator is seperate from any opinions I have about any topic on this entire forum - those opinions are expressed as a fan, or non-fan, whichevcer the case may be. Am I the only one who can keep things seperate?
b) Not true - and we both know it. It would be weird - if it was only true.
I have started topics here - seeing as JLT's fans evidently can't be bothered, I believe in trying to help wherever + whenever I can...perhaps you'd like to follow some of your own advice + do some reading - pointing + clicking isn't all THAT much work or bother, is it?
And yes, much of the slagging was being humorous - and if you care to do a little research, you'll see that I'm far from alone in my opinions regarding JLT. Perhaps not humorous to your standards - but ya can't please everbody all the time.
