I don't think the lack of things happening has anything to do with the quarrels at all. They have been here since I joined the fan community somewhen around '98 or '99. Anyone remember "Tom & Jerry", or "TJ" as he was later called? Though, he was mostly going after the band members. And as Mr. Stephens wrote, he also got some trouble on THS back then. Now there are so many DP related boards, and a lot of those regular posters has left, leaving a good deal of the posts to the mere quarral/trolling. So in numbers of posts of that kind, I don't actually think it has increased that much, it just seems the noise has the power at the moment. Not because of nothing to write about, but because of so few regular posters having so little to contribute with. And, some of those left, just can't stand each other. If they met face to face, either would one of them run away with the tail between the legs, or it would end up in a fight or worse. Just as simple as that. Some of you would say, nah, that can't happen through a internet forum. I say yes it can. People can drive other people to commit suicide via the internet, and even live stream it! I shall not make myself any better than I am, I have also participated in stupid name throwing, though I also did contribute, maybe not in the way some had hoped, but eh opinions differ, and life taught me: "Do not turn the other cheek, or you will be hit twice".

Many of us are complete strangers of very varying ages from different countries yes even from different continents. And then we communicate in writing only. Unlike face to face, or voice to voice conversation where you have 1-2 more dimensions to play on and relate to. What is cool where some come from, certainly isn't cool where others come from, or, by their age. There are/were users on this board, who could have their grandchild as active user as well! Mix all of this together with different temper and personality, then you will soon realise, that without "censorship", it's almost doomed to fail to have a board of rock fans to do "unmoderated" discussions under civil behaviour. Look at what happens Friday evening in the pubs/bars/streets. And there people have both voice and bodily/facial expressions to work with.

The ones that dislikes Morse, the ones that love his playing - Gillan, old or young etc. The problems begins first when a discussion is no longer about any of that, but a fight about how poster express themselves. Like 'you called me a (insert bad word)' so 'you should go home and die' stuff. Disagreement re: music is lightyears away. Of course that is something one should ignore, but too often what happens is that if a thread becomes longer than 20 posts, that stuff is what you get - it's no longer about music. Its about...boring word violence.

Cause if things do not change, maybe it's time to ban people... But lets hope not. A warning might do wonders.. I got my first "last" warning in 2003 or 2004 on the HS forum. And just after a two week suspension from Doug was asked to be a moderator, much to Fat Larrys chagrin. I got my last "last warning" just a couple of weeks ago. You can ban all of the people you want and what your left with is a select few who have the same opinions on just a select few topics and then the forum dies due to boredom and everyone licking the bands boots as they continue to listen to all of the YES men. That has been the problem with this band since Blackmore left. Everyone is a YES man and that's the only people they listen to. Everyone has a different way of expressing themselves but I don't see any trolls on this forum at the moment. People seem to associate trolls with anyone with a differing opinion to their own. I have never accused anyone here of being a troll. A troll would be if I were here and had no clue as to what the band is or was about and couldn't contribute at all other than slagging the band or the forum members. Everyone who is left here has an opinion and although we may slag each other for our opinions and ways of expressing them, I would not consider anyone here a troll or if I were still a moderator, ban anyone for being a troll. We all can make our own choices on what we read and if we see someone whom we don't care for, we can ignore it. If you see my name as the last poster in a thread, you have the choice to ignore it. If you read and comment on it, you are feeding into it. A troll would be someone who has absolutely no knowledge of the topic at hand and just spews obscenities and degrading rubbish at the band, topic or posters. Without differing opinions this world would be a Utopia, and Blackmore would become Wotts Stepford guitarist as would the band. However that's not the case. If clowns like Gillan,Glover,Lord and Paice can badmouth one of their own, then why should we, as caring fans, be exempt. As most of us can see, just about everyone left here spends a lot of time arguing their points back and forth. There, just like some of the band members, is some childish name calling but as I said before, if you can't deal with it, don't get involved. I have never asked any moderator to tell someone to cool it after getting involved in a match, but I do know of a few who have and often wondered why they got involved in the first place. It's an old cliche, but if you can't handle the heat, don't stick your head up her woo-ha. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Stormbringer5)Sat, 25 Sep 2010 01:27:10 +0000 Re: Quarrelshttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p444685,from=rss#post444685https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p444685,from=rss#post444685quote:Rezi wrote: A good question Eirik.
