Title: Just got barred from the Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fanpage on Facebook
Post by: Outtasight! on February 28, 2013, 05:47:42 AM
Oh my the administrator of that page is a nut job. In banning me and others she even used the phrase "they can go back to Smiley Smile where they belong" Guess what I did? I disagreed with her opinion that a photo of Brian in 1980 was "beautiful". Holy hell!

Classic case of a bloo board nutjob. Brian was on the road to rock bottom in 1980.

A chance the Admin could be Bluebird?

It was a head shot in profile if you want to take a look, however all the 'contentious' comments have now disappeared as they banned us. I will post the full text of their ranting later when i have more time but they actually said that anyone sympathising with those banned will also be banned. A friend of mine posted that he thought they were being a touch childish. Yup, you guessed it, banned 30 secs later.

Don't know about a 'few years', but yeah, the posts (the same four or five posters - one with multiple alias's) on that board have dwindled to about the average of one or two per week now. I'm truly amazed it's still there.

"To see a BW/BB board [Cabinessence/Shut Down] grow dim. Instead of a slow, agnonizing dance of death, why not just have a life celebration? Invite everyone, let them pontificate, throw out some opinions without rules, and call it a day? Or, Susan, quit the school marm schtick and seriously compete with the other boards and breathe new life into a board that could quite possibly be one hell of a lot of fun?"

The main Surfermoon site looks pretty much the same, but they do still update the album reviews as and when new things are released.  In my early days of being a fan, I based all my searches for unknown gems on those reviews.  E.g. In The Parkin 'Lot, The Lonely Sea, Where I Belong.

The picture in question was Brian in 1980 - Knebworth, I think - at a time when his marriage had just ended, he'd been hospitalised for substance abuse and was, essentially, going to hell in an express handbasket... and they said it was "beautiful". I begged to differ, and got banned. They still believe that Mike fired Brian, Alan & David. It seems they find truth disturbing. I was told "you went over the line with that "historical accuracy" thing". Correct, you couldn't make it up. ;D

Wow, they even duplicated the so-called hateful comments that got people banned and called out AGD and his "followers." I never knew AGD had his own cult! ::) Do they think he runs Smiley Smile board or something? Or that he's some kind of Rev. Sun Myung Moon or L. Ron Hubbard?

What strange people run that board. I didn't even know that fan page existed until I read this thread. The only Facebook pages of the Beach Boys I ever check out are the official band member ones.

Those ladies are groupie wanna-bes. They aren't interested in the music, they're interested in having "50 Shade of Grey" fantasies about Brian Wilson. They don't care if he's older or has been on drugs or whatever, they just think he's hot and want other people to post complete approval of their posted "kiss pix" of Bri.  Even if the pix are of Brian being completely wasted.  They're actually the ones who don't respect Brian, not the people they banned.

Oh man, I think I remember something about that, although I haven't been on bloo for about six years., so maybe it was just a similar event. I thought, you'd have to be nuts to think that was a beautiful picture, what the heck is wrong with these people.  Nuts or simply obsessed.  Either way.

I've always considered such actions entirely despicable. I have friends in a similar situation and they wouldn't dream of it

I made exactly the same point to His Lord Master Andrewness this morning as I bore breakfast-in-bed to he and his seven wives and their albino wolf hound.  He nodded in agreement as he blessed me and dismissed me. Gracious is he in his benevolence in permitting me to savour eight of his no-longer-wanted-but-blessed wives.

Yeah, the child with disabilities post sealed the deal on top of the other delussional rantings about how the pictuire shows an inner beauty and that we should all see the beauty in disturbed people, yada , yada , yada. I feel cheated however that in the statement of explanations for the bannings I did not get named personally despite being the first one shown the door! I want to be the villain!! I am apparently a follower of AGD according to this loonbag. No disrespect to you Andrew but I'm just a beach boys fan. As I said I will get round to posting the text of a post which appeared after I got banned which is just hilarious (and a little bit scary). These people are more crazy than the Beach Boys themselves!

In the six years I've been in the beach boys fan community I've noticed two really interesting things..

1) The Beach Boys have IMO the most knowledgeable fans

2) Some of Brian Wilson's female fans seem to be obsessed or in love with him to the point of creepiness. They seem to want to take him home and run him a bath then cook him some dinner while listening to That lucky Old Sun.

I get it. Brian's a handsome guy, always has been. I've seen the younger female fans on tumbler and twitter etc call him hot, the usual boyband stuff. But these two ladies running the BB fanpage on facebook are a perfect example of that overbearing attitude some of his fans have over him. It goes above any sexual attraction and borders on obsessive bunny boiling antics. They honestly give me the creeps.

And what the hell is her beef with this board. Are we like the renegades of the BB fan community, are we giving off a pro Mike Love vibe from here or something

This. This is exactly what put me off the Bloo (that and the ham-fisted moderation).

You did however, forget to mention that they'd explain to Brian exactly why TLOS is so good while he ate the birthday cake they'd baked for him…  (and eventually, of course, the talk would have gotten round to how he could have made it even better if he'd…)

Let us not forget REO Speedwagon, Survivor and of course Peter Frampton.

Sadly I have actually seen all of the bands listed here in concert except for Saga and Huey Lewis. I even wound up seeing REO Speedwagon twice without meaning to (they were the opener). And all of that was before I even moved to Vegas. I even famously fell sound asleep at a Grateful Dead concert in Rich Stadium packed with 80,000 people.

Ok, here you have it, try this for lunacy. The following is what the looney tunes wrote after my friend suggested they were being a bit childish in banning people. Try not to laugh, I dare you!

"That thread is an exchange that took place in reference to the 1980 photo of Brian we posted with the caption, "Here's a beautiful photo of Brian with a very red beard!" Because Brian was very troubled at the time of the photo, AGD and his followers took the position that calling the photo "beautiful" not only was nonsense, but constituted a "historical inaccuracy!"

We know what was going on with Brian at the time the photo was taken; nevertheless, we find the photo beautiful, and so do many others. That photo has gotten over 100 Likes and a lovely comment from artist Wayne Russell. AGD has taken his policing of all things "Beach Boys" to a surreal level of absurdity. The people who have that mentality are incapable of expressing a difference of opinion without being patronizing, condescending and personally insulting. We are finished dealing with them. They can go back to SmileySmile, where they belong (you too, Allan Heron). That goes for anyone who expresses solidarity with that group using the same terms they themselves use. We want a friendly page, and we will not tolerate their rudeness any longer. NM"

Oh, and ignoring the facts when it suits. I feel sorry for Krysia because the Morris gorgon is patently unbalanced.

We know what was going on with Brian at the time the photo was taken; nevertheless, we find the photo beautiful, and so do many others. That photo has gotten over 100 Likes and a lovely comment from artist Wayne Russell. AGD has taken his policing of all things "Beach Boys" to a surreal level of absurdity. The people who have that mentality are incapable of expressing a difference of opinion without being patronizing, condescending and personally insulting.


This chick may be nuts, but that's bang on, 100% accurate. I don't know what was posted, but THIS forum is second only to Youtube comments in terms of total lack of basic manners and respect for others opinions.

I mean, one guy posted pictures of mutilated corpses, another guy wished death on someones family, and there's just constant sniping...all in the course of talking about The Beach Boys.

Like I said- chick may be nuts, but she's certainly not the only one in the sordid world of online Beach Boys fan communities!  :lol

The picture in question was Brian in 1980 - Knebworth, I think - at a time when his marriage had just ended, he'd been hospitalised for substance abuse and was, essentially, going to hell in an express handbasket... and they said it was "beautiful". I begged to differ, and got banned. They still believe that Mike fired Brian, Alan & David. It seems they find truth disturbing. I was told "you went over the line with that "historical accuracy" thing". Correct, you couldn't make it up. ;D

Just because I feel like correcting AGD, I have to point out that this photo was definitely not from Knebworth as he was not rockin' the beard there. He was relatively clean shaven but with some scruff at the time. So he is at least partially wrong.

This sort of obsessive forum moderating is very similar to the band Chicago's forum on their official website.  I tried to start two different relatively harmless forum discussions (one about a really hilarious new book about the band (http://www.amazon.com/Days-The-Hole-Experiment-ebook/dp/B007QHMC1A) , and the other about how several of their albums recently were released to HDTracks.com (https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=artistdetail&id=9634)), and neither post saw the light of day.   Unless you only gush about how "brilliant" their crap like "Hard Habit To Break" is, don't bother ever posting to that forum.  I get the point of weeding out trolls and what not, but what's the point of a discussion board if you can't even *discuss* anything?!

Not that I'm siding with the Facebook group but I looked at the picture and it is a very nice photograph.  I wouldn't say Brian himself looks beautiful but it's a nice photo of him.  It's not uncommon to find beauty in something sad or tragic.

Having read the comments (they've been saved on there) I can understand why some were banned. Calling the moderator 'borderline psychotic' is not acceptable imo. Also if people think the photo is beautiful then that's fair enough. There can be beauty even when it is obscured by suffering. It certainly isn't 'historical inaccuracy'. She has overreacted but let's not pretend that everyone else's behaviour was immaculate.

"I love this photo! Can't you feel the emotion and creative electricity flowing from Brian's head to his hands? It feels like you're about to see and hear him playing."

"AWWW!!! CUTE, SWEET, YOUNG CARL!!! ADORABLE!!!"

"Here's a color photo from the Pet Sounds era train shoot! Sexy pose, Bri!"

What if I just reply a simple "no it isn't" or something? No, I must think of something better. This may take some time.....

Thanks very much for posting the links--I as well was confused...I also thought this was the official page.

I've never heard of this page...never even seen it before.  It's obviously not official at all and it's obvious that it's just some random fan who runs it.  Unless I'm missing something...I don't see the reason why people are upset they've been banned from this page? I fully understand WHY people are angry but it isn't as if this page really means anything.   (Honestly I don't even see the reason why one would even "like" that page!) The only fan-run page that I need to discuss the Beach Boys is right here at Smiley Smile.

He was such a snob, he wouldn't even let Paul & Linda McCartney into his home. What a waste of space, and you call this jack-off beautiful? You have pathetic taste!"

It seems that BergenWhitesMoustache doesn't understand the concept of a forum. People discuss things, people are emotional and get angry when someone disagrees with their opinion. This is not a rare occurrence.

That, and I love how he equates this forum to a Youtube comment section when he's the one over-sensationalizing his examples (or just giving poor examples) to give credibility to his argument (a common youtube comment tactic).

Dead corpses: the poster apologized and gave a reasoning for his actions. It was forgiven and should be forgotten. I'm tired of hearing about it every friggin month.
Death threats: Even Billy probably realizes that I Spaceman has some mental issues. This should definitely not be an example of how crazy Beach Boys message boards are.
Sniping: We are opinionated. And a lot of the sniping occurs when people make inane posts.

This one gets me:

"Here's a color photo from the Pet Sounds era train shoot! Sexy pose, Bri!"

That picture was from the Sloop John B Sea Of Tunes sheet music. Brian is standing there with his legs slightly parted to reveal his crotch. The woman who posted that "sexy" statement should be banned for making such a provocative observation in a public forum.

If you seriously need "emotional armour" for this forum, you would be best to spend the rest of your life hiding under your bed.  Sure, this board has had its share of a-holes (like myself) as well as a few Nancys, but c'mon guys. This is just a message forum.

I had no idea you  considered us all idiots as I missed it the first time around. I don't think this is a nasty forum but that was a nasty thing to say. But...you are entitled to your opinion and I am not going to give you hell for it. All I ask is for everybody to start treating each other with more respect. That's not too hard to ask.

Anybody know who Allan Heron is?

I know him on Twitter (and this has just prodded me to add him on FB actually). Good bloke. Don't think he posts here.

This is her most recent quote: 'AGD now has attacked me on the most personal of grounds: he accused me of mentioning my son's autism in order to gain sympathy, and went on to say that my mentioning him was "despicable." He could not possibly have said anything that would have been more certain to guarantee a permanent place at the top of every "banned" list I have.'

I read that as well. My 12 year old son is autistic and home schooled via Nevada Virtual Academy. I'll keep other comments to myself on this matter.

When I checked that Facebook page for the first time I was expecting to side with the OP of this thread but I can't really. Labeling a photo 'beautiful' is a trivial thing and it's sad that some people can't deal with her opinion. Several of the posts that followed did show a lack of civility and they were probably right to start banning people.

If AGD really did make those comments then...

It was me who made the 'psychotic' quip. In response to some frankly ludicrous replies to my original statement that i did not think the photo was beautiful. I'm not upset at getting banned, i just thought her defensiveness was ridiculous and certainly was not open to discussion. She could have just said she thought i was out of line. Allan Hero is my friend, all round good guy and huge beach boys fan. We have been to many Brian Wilson gigs together. He posted saying he thought the bannings were childish and got banned for it!

Oh no. I'm torn. I recognize too many posters on there to cause trouble. And yet everybody is correct on the way they talk over there. A couple of quotes:

"I love this photo! Can't you feel the emotion and creative electricity flowing from Brian's head to his hands? It feels like you're about to see and hear him playing."

"AWWW!!! CUTE, SWEET, YOUNG CARL!!! ADORABLE!!!"

"Here's a color photo from the Pet Sounds era train shoot! Sexy pose, Bri!"

What if I just reply a simple "no it isn't" or something? No, I must think of something better. This may take some time.....

I've had just spent 30 minutes of my valuable life on that site , and YES its puke inducing - I am not naming names but I have come across many of these people over the years (and even had arguments with them about Brian and how is he is not normal BUT they just won't have it) and sadly and certainly not being sexist but the vast majority of the non-realists are women (sorry to all the good women here).One certain women thought she knew everything BB's so at a certain diner party in Glasgow some ten years ago I slipped a certain 7" EP that came with the Holland album (anybody know it ??) on the house stereo (In my eyes classic BW) and she said she had never heard it before and thought it was sh*t - Nuff Said

Well....  In the end, she started the page and she can do whatever the hell she wants with it.  If people came on my FB page, whether it was a fan thing or not and I didn't like what they were saying, I would delete them.  I'm not saying what she does on there is right, but as I said it's her page and she can do what she wants.  (I assume it's her page!!)   I'm sure if Brian and crew don't like it (as apparently they haven't like posts on here before) then they will say somethign or whatever to her.

Dead corpses: the poster apologized and gave a reasoning for his actions. It was forgiven and should be forgotten.


Hahaha...

Believe  me, I'd forget seeing that if I could.

For someone who hates the board and everyone on it, you're certainly suffering from separation anxiety. Go cry some more or get off the board.

More like unnecessary bullying. I keep coming back here looking for some kind of explanation, some sort of redemption. This has somehow escaped the radar.

I know him on Twitter (and this has just prodded me to add him on FB actually). Good bloke. Don't think he posts here.

Looks like I registered on here a good while ago which I'd clean forgotten about.  Had to check this out as I was clearly intended to be banished here!!

I just happened to get involved at the tail-end of the discussion and expressed surprise at what had happened.  To be honest, apart from expressing a different point of view about the picture there really was little to get fussed about, but it was the moderator who was unwilling to let others express a contrary view without challenging it.   And it was also her who started making personal comments first as well.  I would disagree with her thoughts about Brian from that period, but some of the most captivating and arresting pictures of Brian have come from his darker period.  Which is not the same as saying they are "beautiful".

Anyway, my comments that the bannings were a stupid and childish response got me banned in about thirty seconds flat.   I only found out by being tagged in her post (the one quoted earlier) which also managed to give me more prominence in this than my meagre contribution justified.

I still "like" the page on Facebook so still see all the stuff that comes through.  Just can't comment but that's no great loss - I only did this very sporadically any way.  There's not much fresh coming up via that route and most of it is shared from other sources.   

However, I would say that it is her page and she can run it the way she wants but her tolerance levels of any views different from her seems somewhat low which makes her peculiarly unqualified to moderate such a page.   

Anyway, life goes on...........

  There is a certain sad beauty to the 1980 Brian pic.

 Clearly, the lady in charge of the Facebook page is OFF. It is just as clear that AGD needs to have the final, definitve say on all matters relating to The Beach Boys.

"We want a friendly page..."

... as long as no-one contradicts us and we can carry on making inane comments about Dennis kicking Mike's ass were he still here, insulting Mike's young daughter and generally condoning if not actually promoting anti-Mike behavior.

Oh, and ignoring the facts when it suits. I feel sorry for Krysia because the Morris gorgon is patently unbalanced.

This sort of obsessive forum moderating is very similar to the band Chicago's forum on their official website.  I tried to start two different relatively harmless forum discussions (one about a really hilarious new book about the band (http://www.amazon.com/Days-The-Hole-Experiment-ebook/dp/B007QHMC1A) , and the other about how several of their albums recently were released to HDTracks.com (https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=artistdetail&id=9634)), and neither post saw the light of day.   Unless you only gush about how "brilliant" their crap like "Hard Habit To Break" is, don't bother ever posting to that forum.  I get the point of weeding out trolls and what not, but what's the point of a discussion board if you can't even *discuss* anything?!

Just on a side note, I just realized that I was banned from the Chicago board!   :lol  I don't even know what the hell I did to earn such an honor!  Just goes to show you, forums and fan groups that are obsessively moderated only succeed in crippling your freedom of speech and any hopes for an intelligent discussion.

THIS forum is second only to Youtube comments in terms of total lack of basic manners and respect for others opinions.
I mean, one guy posted pictures of mutilated corpses.
The guy's name is EthanJames. As was rightly stated by rab2591, that case must be forgotten since Ethan apologized several times for his behavior. Plus, it was the only example of him being a bad poster. Aside from that, he was a good contributor in picture, official BB YT & other threads. So let's not try to notice only evil in people. Even I. Spaceman who had constant feuds with other posters for disagreeing with him or whatever was admittedly one of the most knowledgeable BBs'/music in general fans here. As for comparing this forum with "Youtube comments", the latter does actually have many interesting info from various users, there isn't basically rudeness going on. F.ex., Youtube was the 1st place where I found out about "At My Window" & Kingston Trio's "Raspberries, Strawberries" cross similarity (which yet I think is too minimal & the former is better anyway). In short, don't be one-sided, if I may say this.

Speaking of the Facebook Brian's photo, to be honest, it isn't the worst one, though also obviously not what I'd call "beautiful". I usually use this word for describing places, e.g. neon-lights-covered New York City or sth. with scenic landscape etc. OR in case of the Beach Boys - their music.
