no.seriously.i can respect his simple request.
id really love to know whos the retarts that caused this thread to exist in the first place.
what did i miss?
No one thing really just a few things that even I was part of. and a couple of conversations I have had recently with some folks. other than that carry on as you normally would.
just call me paranoid. But it never hurts to remind folks that is all

look I didn\'t want to create a debate I was simply asking a favor.
The content of this site does indeed reflect directly on some people whether you like that or not.
mike,you know i love ya and im not tryin to give you anymore of a hard time than i do anyone else.
as a favor to you,ill personally do my best to be smartass about what i say.
mikes quote is the bottom line here "simply asking a favor". all the rest of the rhetoric seems unnecessary to me. that being said....i couldn\'t help fixing freddies post for him. ;)

honestly,id folks are on here openly talking about illegal **** thats on them.
anyone who wouldnt go to a show because of fans talking about illegal **** on the fansite should check their priorities at the door..

I really do not think the Breakfast or their fans are of significant interest to authorities no matter what is posted on an internet fansite for them.
true, but to those new fans who come onto this board in search of music, who may not use or approve of drug use, it may be a turn-off.
While I think it is a public forum & people are free to write whatever they want, it\'s also important to think of how our words may reflect on this band & it\'s image.
:lol: Whatever.

hummmm?

sorry chip, but if folks are stumbling into this band, its because they\'re high! sure, advertisement style posts shouldn\'t be on here, but for a band formerly known as PSYCHEDELIC i doubt quite seriously that anyone would be surprised to find out that the fan base (of mostly young 20\'s/college kids) enjoys heightening their experiences. sure, folks can be a bit more subtle, but to say that hearing that a jamband\'s fanbase does drugs is gonna turn off a potential jamband fan.... well, i simply can\'t buy that. maybe there\'s a guy out there who will change his mind, but frankly, how many kidz go to shows to score teh dr00gs?! yep, tons of \'em. how many folks are at the average bfast show? yep, not tons of \'em. i\'d just as soon see a huge banner at the top of the site that says \'IF YOU GO TO A BREAKFAST SHOW YOU WILL GO HOME **** UP!!!!\' because then maybe more folks would show up, get turned on by the music and become regularly show-going fans. of course, that\'s also me being cynical to an extent, but you get my gist. overall, its not smart to talk about illegal things in public, but to try not to talk about illegal things for fear of scaring off jamband fans seems counter-intuitive, to me.
that being said, i\'m gonna go take one of my legally prescribed, medicinal pain pills now because my stomach is starting to act up! :^p

Almost everyone does or has done drugs.
"you\'re all on dope"
The booby prize goes to whomever guesses where that\'s from.

I hear ya. Its all a matter of common sense really.
why people think its a smart idea to bring up blatant drug abuse on a public message board in that fashion is beyond me.
Is this thread really needed?
It is not illegal to post on a message board about alleged drug use/abuse which is all it can be (alleged) as a post on an internet message board.
I do not see posts referring to the sale of illegal drugs which could lead authorities to follow up (maybe) on that poster\'s IP addy or whatever. Those type posts I can see trying to moderate.

:awwyeah: I agree, mike... there\'s no need to get the band and/or fans in trouble just for some punk\'s comments on a public forum. That\'s what PM\'s are for! ;)

i thought this was gonna be about me calling holly a dirty heeb. glad to know thats acceptable.
rotfl If that kind of stuff was not allowed, I think I would have to cry.

Well knowing Holly.......
I keed.
I just wanted people (including myself) to perhaps think 2x before posting something that on a stricter board might get moderated.
Sure name calling can certainly fall under that category but we all tend to have thick skin here and I don\'t think anyone wants to be policing that stuff. (unless they have to)
Again just trying to create a little awareness that is all

sorry for the pee test thread.
No that stuff is ok for the most part. I mean more specific stuff like the references to tanks, L, DMT whos got this, I partied with that, etc etc
I just don\'t want folks to get in trouble nor would I want to turn new folks off on the band. Thats all. how tos are fine it is just the we did, I did, when we gonna do kind of stuff.
If I really had an issue with a post I would delete it. But I have to remind myself A LOT that I tend to have a more open opinion on what is acceptable then some folks.

sorry for the pee test thread.

I am probably the last person on this site who should post this but I think the time has come.
While I am all for folks getting their buzz on I think we as fans need to be a little better at policing what is said on this site (or posted). There has been a resurgence of discussion about illicit behavior on this site and with Festival / Summer season upon us it is probably a good reminder.
Also it doesn\'t shine that great a light on the band. When promoters and new fans check out the site and there is that kind of talk or threads not being marked NSFW (for the questionable photos)
I would also remind folks that this site is hosted at my place of employment and we do a lot of work for government organizations that you would not want reading the type of things I am alluding to in this post.
So a quick recap. Don\'t post anything you wouldn\'t want the fuzz reading and try to mark threads NSFW if you even think there is a slight issue. Some folks could get in trouble and thats what we want to avoid.
Sorry if I come off preachy, was not intended. And I am just as much an offender as anyone so I\'ll do my best as well.
Thanks Everyone
