This thread is Snowflake Central...sensitive little bunch!

You are aware there is a study in Sweden at the moment that shows there is a direct correlation between use of the word 'snowflake' in a derogatory sense, and having a tiny penis. According to the study users of the word are asserting their masculinity in an attempt to draw attention away from their microscopic member.

Personally I love your insightful, razor witted posts, and I would really hate it if everytime the annoying liberals on this board saw one of your posts they were thinking 'boy, that guy must have absolutely tiny tool'

I think it's embarrassing that there are two threads with AGD in the title. Can we at least merge them. This place just feeds the guys ego.

Just going to quote myself here...

The mods would never entertain a boneheaded decision as you suggest. If you miss him so much, you can hang out at PS. They're so starved for members, they'll buy you food, pay your rent, clean your bathroom and walk your dog.  Roll Eyes

Shady, I've always liked you as a poster here, and I'd never ever think less of you for holding the opinion that you do about this topic. But you may want to read at least the first page or two of this thread to get a better grasp on the ban. It wasn't at all an easy decision for Billy, I think Billy said he became physically ill around the time he had to make a decision about this ban - he really did see Andrew as a close online friend. And since the ban he's been berated publicly multiple times by this once close friend. Billy's personal problems have even been a subject in these public diatribes.

Hopefully this topic will be put to rest asap, but I would encourage anyone here who has doubts about the decision of this ban to do research about it. If you have done research and you still think it was a bad decision by the mods, definitely present your case. I'm sure if there was a reasonable defense the mods would lift the ban, but so far this hasn't happened.

What's wrong with having a small penis ?

Since you seem to be on the "snowflake" side, you should be aware that body-shaming is frowned upon in the snowflake community.

Andrew belongs where he is...where he will be mostly fawned over, which will reduce his tendency to be a bully--or, at least, to act out so aggressively in that manner.

I have been through similar situations on chat boards where my personal investment was higher, and I can tell you is that schisms are an inherent part of the landscape, and it's better if the key instigating agent (and their enablers) move on, regardless of how much knowledge/insight they may possess.

The simple facts of the BBs are these. The Wilson brothers were all extremely talented, but acted out in varying ways due to an abusive father. Each of them felt more comfortable with writing partners as a result, which led to a series of complications. Mike Love has always struggled between right-wing paranoia and a spiritual sense that he didn't want to have to divorce from material pleasures (hence the appeal of the Maharishi)--he was a great lead singer and, when he would leave his ego at the door, an at-least serviceable lyricist. As the material matured, however, his skills became less valuable--but history (and the varying fates of the Wilson brothers) has left him in a position where his limited vision of the band continues to compete with a more comprehensive view of the BBs achievements and legacy. Those who enable Mike Love in his post-2012 mode are doing a disservice to the music they love, because 97%+ of it was composed by the Wilson brothers.

What Andrew has to say about this on the larger scale is something that remained hidden behind his posturing as a bully and an ultimate "factual authority." This should be noted with an appropriate amount of regret, because he is by no means bereft of aesthetic insight. But--when he began to twist the arms of others with different interpretations of those facts is when he crossed a Rubicon, and he had to go. It was clearly an agonizing decision for the mods, and it took great courage for them to do so.

That said, there is no coming back for him--and those who wish for that really need to leave the vast majority of us (who understand all too well why he had to go) in peace. Enough is enough: go genuflect to the man over at his "Elba"-like place of exile.

Was that necessary? Perhaps you should modify that and then I'll do the same.
Maybe or you could see it for what it is and appreciate my fine Irish wit.

The truth is rarely called for --that's kind of the issue.  But go ahead and edit it. Ask the mods. Enjoy.

Good gawd...2 separate threads about the cancer which it's said infested this site.  Well... ... ...the cancer was removed yet this specific site remains deathly ill in spite of it.

It looks oh-so weak.  It looks decidedly smaller than miniscule.  And it looks like it's close to all that matters here anymore.  They don't fucking exist and yet *WE* con-fuckin'-tinue to both fertilize and water their sad little site with more sadness here than they'll EVER be able to muster.

It's as if S.S. is committing suicide...and using ol' Andrew as the rope.

Enough of this bullshit. Roll Eyes

Move on.

I think you overreact and overstate. Clearly a few folks remain here with the desire to distract over matters that are over and done with. And a few folks will enter into the thread with a "dissenting view" about Andrew, if only to stir the pot.

How is that any different than what happened in so many threads that he was involved in? It's the residue of a bully and the remnants of his stooges still causing trouble.

There continue to be many, many stimulating discussions about BBs music here. And most of them are now completely free of the hijacking sociopathy that festered for so long. The only people who "committed suicide" are the ones who went too far in terms of influence-peddling and intellectual bullying here and decided to keep firing torpedoes. Their "badge of honor" is to be banned from this so-called "hateful" place. So be it. Good riddance!

Good riddance indeed, to the lot of them. But I will ask this upfront and direct: What if *you* (as in anyone reading) had who knows how much false if not slanderous information circulating about you personally, your families, or anything beyond "the music"...what would you do? How do you correct the bullshit that came from a campaign that hit every BB's related forum and continues to do so, knowing it was false from day 1 and seeing that certain lies are still circulating? Keep in mind, that's not band members, that is people here on this board, including "the mods" who had to find out that people were spreading this sh*t on places we have nothing to do with and didn't read. Only the surface has been scratched with all this garbage and the various behaviors and campaigns to ruin this place because "the mods" didn't bow down to certain people and interests.

I'm all for moving on, but for f*ck's sake not if everything is going to be whitewashed or swept under the carpet as if nothing ever happened and the lies continue. That's how the offenders and perpetrators of all this garbage get away with it. Historians/experts/collectors or not, it doesn't work that way. There has to be an outlet to set the record straight when necessary. We got bashed for too long simply for not toe'ing the line and buying into the bullshit.

I suppose this is the part of the film where you tell me I have a small willy and I live in mother's basement --it's not true. My gf happens to have a large vee-j-j and my folks live in MY upstairs. So you see it's about perspective. What I mean is that you learned of all this and the nefarious details in real-time. I just learned about it mostly this week. In real time you may have posted some harsh things. Having said that, this thread(and others), if you read the whole thing, helps one connect the dots to wtf went on and is going on.  In real-time maybe your perspective was different and perhaps mine will be in a few months.
