Done and Done.....Grip thread deleted.....

Definately got way too out of hand..... :emb:
it is a message board, but that particular thread was getting out of control.

Tricia aka. The Grip aka. Trish The Dish has become a great friend to me and a lot of people in this scene. One of her greatest attributes is her personality/sense of humor. She dishes right back whatever gets tossed at her and does it with style. This was a "Grip" appreciation thread. Since it did get a bit out of control and was, as Fitzy put it, no longer about appreciating the "Grip", I decided to delete it.

I am all for free messageboard speech and don\'t read it if you don\'t want to see it, but when Timmy has to come out and make a statement, I felt it was time to go. Especially when this forum and the music is growing so well, and after all, isn\'t that why we are all here? This is not about people changing who they are or what they do. It is about a bunch of like minded people having a great time with great people, listening to and BEING a part of AMAZING music and respecting eachother........

Aww sorry if I was responsible for the deletion of the grip appreciation thread. I wasn\'t against the thread as a whole, just a couple of comments that were an assault on my sensibilities.

btw, I home none of you are taking my last thread too seriously...

Thank you Steve. I had the the pleasure of finally meeting Tricia last night. I can tell you this, she is one of the nicest, most hardworking peeps ever to bartend a bunch of maniacs.

This is an unofficial fansite owned by Dave P. it is not the band\'s whatsoever.

well duh. it has just been a point of contention in the past. I know Steve knows what\'s up but as everyone is saying there are new members that may think the band owns this site which it does not.

Who gives a crap who owns it. You and I have $ signs under our names, that means we own it too. The purpose of this site is to support the band, and all the negativity and personal attacks lately ain\'t doing it.

There have been ridiciulous personal attacks on this board since I joined. I was under the impression that this site was intended for Fans to talk abt their favorite band The Breakfast. There is a forum where people that want to help support the band can go and discuss how to do so. I believe it\'s Dig. This thread was in the Spunk (haha) forum NON Breakfast related crap. I believe is what this forum is all abt. I love how Dave moderates/ does\'nt moderate this board and all of it\'s forums/threads. I find it pretty silly that Tim posting caused a thread to be deleated esp. a thread in a non Breakfast related forum is all. as for owning the site. I do not feel I own any part of it I am actually giving $ to help Dave keep the board up as I know it can get expensive non conditionally ya know?

Regardless of who "owns" and/or "runs" this board, message boards of this type (by and for fans of a particular band) are representations of the band and the fans. When the guitarist of the band comes on the board and expresses disapproval in things that have been said, and here comes the important part, in a thread that I started, then I will most definately delete the entire thread. Everyone who starts a thread has the ability to delete the entire thread that they started (a great feature if you ask me), so Dave had no say at all regarding the deleteing of the thread. I actually couldn\'t believe that it went on as long as it did...

I think this board does a great job in representing what The Breakfast, their music, and their fanbase is all about. Ball Busting is something that will always go on, and nobody does it better than some of the people who post on this board. It provides laughter which is good for the soul....if you cant laugh at yourself, well then you\'re **** in my opinion...

Steve I figured Dave did not delete the thread as he usually gives a reason for closing/deleting a thread. I figured since it was in the Spunk forum which in it\'s title says is for Non- Breakfast related discussion it has nothing to do with the band so why would someone base their decsion about the band around something in this forum? Like Tim said don\'t listen to him. You folded brah;)

This isnt about what tim said or what represents the band. Steve deleted the thread because it was extremely disrespectful to a friend. This goes way beyond the breakfast. If you dont understand that you are a **** ****. How would you like it if we made a thread like that about someone you cared about? Does it make it ok just because its in the \'spunk\' forum? Screw the breakfast and this web site because they have nothing to do with what happend.
