Those rules should apply both ways, please!

But...

but when someone express their negative opinions, are not telling the rest of people they can't have a positive opinion!!!!!!!!

But whoever that dares to have a negative opinion is said that its opinion is not right!!!!!

Don't press the exit button. It's me who is tired to talk to a wall.

Have fun 

ps: I'm not talking to you Val, i'm talking in general. You know I appreciate you a lot, and I'm gonna miss you.
You might get lucky, now and then

Thank you, Jbaent for your kind words.  :-*    Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, except for a walk, ;D besides I know I would miss you all too much, even the bad times!  We must all try much harder to see others' point of view in future.

Maybe you don't know but exists another fan forum called Silvertown blues where everything is sun rays, blue clouds and love and happiness...

http://s7.zetaboards.com/Silvertown_Blues/index/

Some of you would really enjoy to be in heaven instead of this hell of negativity.

I understand what you are saying, Jbaent, but please give MK recognition for his work with different charities.   You could have mentioned the RAH concerts in your post, but you made it sound as though MK does nothing for charity, when in fact he does a great deal.  Celebrities support charities in their own way and MK does it in his own way.    A bit more praise for MK would be nice to hear for a change!  ;)
I agree with you Superval99. Well said!!

Just back from John Illsley´s concert in Aschaffenburg. Although I know the answer from Guy´s forum I asked John about beging at the ceremony. He said that he will be there but that their definitely won't be a performance. He seems to be a bit disappointed by saying so. But that might be to much interpretation after this gig.

Infact he is not a bit disappointed, but very likely very disappointed
Perfectly normal reaction of John Illsley!! But MK is a Britton. They make a decision and stick to it!!

oh yes we do   ;D I'm the same ,a typical English reaction, im so so glad he isint going to the hall of fame stuff and getting back into doing that  straits stuff.
but at the end of the day i guess were all just looking forward to a new release and tour at the end of the day and enjoy seeing mark play and enjoy his albums, and he still with us and playing to a good standard  :) i know i am.

ive seen van morrsion and paul weller live the last few months and still not a patch on mark's talent.
 paul weller has lots of energy on stage but his other guitarist does the leg work for him, mark , Clapton, chris rea who have over 10 years on paul weller less energy on stage but play a lot lot more , so was great to see ,
mark wont ever be as quick as he was back in the day but for a 68 year old he can still play and produce great albums
and long may it continue, we all have our little moans about him , but we love him and love seeing him play live and that's why we are on this forum all waiting for this next tour and album!!!!!

I’ve been asked to leave numerous times and been called a hypocrite, idiot, 7 year old etc. All for questioning why certain individuals, who obviously don’t like where MK has taken his career in the past 10 years or so, feel the need to constantly post negative comments on a fan site.

Good summary of how a lot of us probably feel.  Who was it that said "Criticism: The Highest Form of Flattery?"  Can't remember right now.

Most of those "negative comments" are just jokes. Jokes are good. Jokes are a sign of admitting our weaknesses (or those of the things or the people we admire), thus as sign of being open to dialogue.

I honestly don't see the problem here. Are we offending you?

The only problem I see is that every nice topic ends up on talking about "offending MK". Maybe Mark told you that he feels hurt by reading AMIT?

Sorry if I'm harsh, I usually try to understand opposite views of the world but this doesn't make any sense to me at all, unless if you're a teenager or stuff like that.
