Bit fed up of Mike Love topics?

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Just thought I'd illustrate how many Mike threads there have been, most of them rehashing the same old sh*t. Are we bored or what?

[Dudd]

sigh

Yeah but you see I actually just posted some new (7-25-13) quotes from Mike Love in the "Celebrate The News" thread where he actually sheds some light on a couple of things, so what you actually are doing right now is spamming the board and moving threads with more relevant information down the chain.  Opinions from fans are obviously fine but should not obscure actual quotes or comments from members of the band.

and people wonder why folk like me get impatient and snarky when this junk gets dredged up and ran into the ground over and over and over.....

Stephen makes a great point though.

[Waspinators]

Yeah, I think it's getting a bit crazy.

I'm not against a Mike Love topic--this is a BB board after all and he is one of its members who still performs today...why shouldn't we discuss him?

But I am fed up with any Mike Love/Smile threads or the Mike Love ending the C50 tour threads.  Those particular subjects have been discussed endlessly here with no real new ground being covered.  So those particular threads, I wish would stop.  A way to combat any new thread being created, maybe one of them could be permanently stickied up top to prevent others from creating NEW threads....?

[SMiLE-addict]

Maybe we need a whole section dedicated just to ML topics, so that if you don't want to see threads about him just don't go to that section.

Problem with anyone arguing this point is that the band (in particular Mike Love and Al Jardine) keep bringing up the events which followed the conclusion of the C50 tour in the press.  I mean just his week we got some of the most insightful quotes from Love himself as to why he is no longer touring alongside BAD.  Now granted Jon Stebbins let us in on a lot of the information he covered several months back but this was the first time that any quotes ascribed to Love made reference that he was having issues with the people working "behind the scenes" on the C50.  Likewise another series of quotes I posted today (dated from 7-25-13) make mention that Love's opinion that working with his cousin has always come with it's fair share of obstacles.  This is important information because it takes the conversation about the end of the C50 from "Mike Love Is A Jerk" territory to ascribing some rhyme and reason to the man's decision.

Bottom line for me: When the band stops talking about the end of the C50.  So will I.  Until then...

I'm a bit fed up of members who apparently have so much time on their hands that they resurrect long-dead threads, post a fucking period in the thread, and clutter up the forum as a result.

You're all on notice. I deleted all of the unnecessary period posts - if this happens again, that member will be banned permanently. It's one thing to post funny stuff in a thread but quite another to clutter up the board for no logical reason.

[Steve Mayo]

good for you jason, I totally agree.

Agree with you 100%, Justin.  We've lost some board members because of it.

[Gabo]

they think we're bad and we treat Mike so mean, but all we know is from what we've seen

[Niko]

I like Mike threads when they relate to the Beach Boys. His contributions in the studio and on the stage type stuff. But the constant bashing means nothing. No new information is given or gained...it's just boring.

Speaking of treating someone mean. From what I've seen, some of us around here might be surpassing Mike on the subject....

When someone gets endless amounts of joy out of trashing someone because they think, feel, or have been told it's OK: it tends to say more about them than the person in question....

Just something to think about.

[SMiLE Brian]

Can we have one ML bashing thread for the board?

Plus have OSD moderate it?

Every thread on here is a Michael bashing thread...where have you been? 

[SMiLE Brian]

busy at my job.

We need a positive Mike Love thread, which we can slowly derail into an anti Mike Love thread and subsequently make threads supporting the people who got unfairly banned from that Mike Love thread

I don't think we need that again...

[leggo of my ego]

In on the first page.

This is one will surely go to 100, ya think? 

[runnersdialzero]

[Niko]
