discussion to focus on the RHOF, and no moaning about each other, as Dusty stated.
end of story. there will be no banning for anyone for what has happened. but the next one that moans/insults another member can take a holiday of x days/weeks.
there are worse issues in the world today people, chill a bit, both sides.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

To call Don70 a hypocrite or to even think of banning him would be a real scandal.

Basically he does nothing else than trying to rescue the freedom of speech for those few left here who still find something interesting or positive in MK.

Are you having a laugh?

He didn't add anything at all except criticize other forumers...

All negative additions from him to the forum.

Interest and postive opinions about MK are all welcome by everybody including those who have negative opinions on whatever, all are opinions.

Eddie Fox expressed it very well, you can do two things:

- Give your opposite opinion to the negative opinions, that's perfectly ok
- To be critic about the person who have a negative opinion. That's useless and doesn´t add anything at the forum beyond telling the others what can they say and what not.

It is so easy to understand that I can't believe you are not getting it...

By the way, check Don70 posts and find anything useful that he added to the forum beside moaning about other forumers.

You are going to find a big percentage of nothing useful but moaning. https://www.amarkintime.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=3541

Wow, did I ever hit a nerve around here. Oh, well.

Message from moderator number one

General rule of thumb:

Moaning about MK - Fine
Moaning about AMITers - Not fine

Debate encouraged, insults not tolerated.

Cheerio!

Thank you. That’s all I was trying to do. Unfortunately, it was taken the wrong way.

Hats off to the moderation, very mature decision. As Ringo would say, I can feel air inside my lungs again.

According to this published 1 hour ago MK and PW will not be there. The others will show up I quess since they are not mentioning Guy John and Alan.

Impressive list of no shows in the article.
I guess that just shows how seriously this 'career achievement award' is viewed by so many artists.

Of course I wanted Mark to show up and perform but I understand him not doing so. What I don’t understand is the absence of an official statement to the fans.

I think this all happens thanks to the controversy around DS. Some people have no respect for Mark's legacy, so no wonder he'd not show up.
If I knew MK would not go, in a gesture of solidarity I wouldn't go either. But these guys seems to not bother at all with it.
Pretty sure Mark have a heart full of holes after this "cold war" around DS, although he can say whatever he want.
I'm waiting for a journalist who could ask about his real feelings about his old band.
If I were pursued by DS's shadow like an actor with only one memorable role...

That article seems incorrect. Didn't Guy mention he will be there. And how about DK didn't he say he wasn't going?

Anyway Im fine with Guy, John and maybe Alan and Eddie picking up the award. Afterall they were part of the band for the longest time apart from MK of course. Also MK doesnt want and doesn't need it. So why not have them get the acclaim and attention.

No, MK doesn't need it, but as Guy said, this is a prize for the fans. Probably because MK said the same, so it would had been a nice gesture to the fans to go all together to be inducted, as a prize for the fans.

I think David would only go if Mark went too. When he realised his brother wasn't going, he probably decided not to go at all.

Conspiracy theories anyone? Jeezes guys, no one of us knows what mark thinks of the issue, as he was not asked publicly not has he mentioned his opinion anywhere ..so all this guessing, irrelevant
