Ur right Marv lol!
Ur right Marv lol!
Ugh. Crybullies are the worst. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.
I'm just going to block this snakepit person and ignore him from now on, he was bad enough when he was going out of his way to insult me for things I didn't even post, now he has the nerve to whine and act the victim. I come to this place to have fun and chat with people. I only like red meat on a very rare occasion: I really have to be in the mood for a good steak and only have it once or twice a year. The point is, people like snakepit need to take their beef elsewhere, especially since they got their wish in a seperate DRATs forum and they are still pouting and being snottily passive aggressive.
Like seriously, this whole mess started because I accidentally posted a Supremes topic in the non-Motown thread, and this person has not left me alone since, claiming I will personally destroy this forum with my DRATs obsession and drive everyone away.... they get the forum they wouldn't shut up about.... and they are still complaining. Like, how do you go through life when you are that impossible to please? How about a thank you to the mods instead of more moaning?

^ Eh, you didn't do anything wrong. You just didn't know that the rules were different at first lol
Like I just told Albator, people get way too emotional [[and involved) in this forum for some odd reason as if the Supremes were their cousins or something.
But, Ran, you do have to make distinctions between casual fans, hardcore fans, and obsessive fans, and the obsessive ones lose objectivity when it comes to how many DRATS threads there are. Some may think that it is most of the forum when it's not. There may be one or two of the obsessive ones that want to turn the entire SDF forum into a DRATS forum, and Ralph's not havin' it. Meanwhile, there are music fans like me who do like some DRATS/Diana Ross music, but are not obsessed with it. We like the music, but that's it. It's not our favorite.
And, then there are the DRATS fans that are so over the top that they probably do have shrines in their bedrooms and try to dress in gowns just like they did, and spend every minute of their lives thinking about them. These guys need some intense therapy.
Any insults were made by Birdsong..go and read the threads. I asked Ralph to remove 3. [[ not 1 by mistake) Supremes threads he/she had stated in the SD forum.
I pointed out to him/her that these posts should be contained in the Motown forum.
His/her response was to be hysterical.
I have not made any comments since to him/her.....but he /she lies about that.
You know, along with what thanxsal said, it's a wonder why these guys can't find something better to do with their time than to try to disrupt legit forums and take them over. Along with what someone else told me years ago, they were really trying to make SDF a DRATS forum, and their secondary mission was to drive a certain Marv out.
If they were serious about starting their own DRATS forum, they would shell out the money for the software, domain, server, and appoint some real moderation.
Hi,
Seriously, NONE of this is because of where you posted something. This is a problem that's been going on for at least a decade now. You are relatively new here so you wouldn't know the very long history we have had with the extreme DRATS fans here, and Marv.
From what I have been told, years and years ago, Marv said something homophobic on another forum, and that set the DRATS fans off, and it spilled over here to SDF when their Yahoo forum got shut down. Ever since then, it has been open warfare on Marv, and an attempt to disrupt this place until Ralph banned him. Since Ralph never banned him, they are hell-bent on destroying this place to punish him. So, it has nothing to do with you or what you did.
As for snakepit, he is a forum elder like I am. His primary interests are like mine. We both like to talk about, and read about how things were recorded, and he is a bit of an expert in that area where it concerns Motown. He often comes up with some interesting threads and questions. I have never known him to be a mean guy. I do believe he has just gotten fed up with all the DRATS crap that has been ruining this forum for years. We used to have industry heavyweights here, people who worked on all that Motown music we all love. Now they are long gone because of the mess. This is why Ralph decided to give the DRATS fans a place of their own so the rest of the forum wouldn't be ruined.
I need to add that there are some nice DRATS fans in here. They are civil and friendly, and only love their favorite singers. The people causing the war are two or three people, and I heard that one of them may be posting under aliases.

For clarity.
I did not request a Supremes forum. I did that over 10 years ago but it didn't happen. I have long since given up on that idea, so I have accepted that these posts resided in Motown forum.
The SD Forum has been free of these posts, and a recent flurry of Supremes thread in SDF [[3- three, not 1) in a matter of days suggested to me that, in not carefully managed, this forum would attract the overkill of Supremes threads, and potentially ruin the SDF.
I asked Ralph to transfer them to Motown.
I have long since lost interest in the number of Supremes post in Motown topics.
All the correspondence regarding this is clearly on this website.
I have not continued any correspondences with Birdsong....Ralph can investigate and take action against me ...but he will not find any posts as they don't exists.
Only in Birdsong's mind.
Reported this thread? Good luck. Maybe he'll lock it. Maybe not. I don't see any nasty stuff in this thread, and, if you look, this thread is in the DRATS section, so...
I'm glad you evolved Midnight. You was on some troll shit doing that. Lol
But it does illustrate how weird some of these fans get about these things. I couldn't give two shits about anyone's opinion regarding the Motown girl groups. Not that I don't appreciate reading different view points [[as long as they are respectful), but someone's opinion of any given group is not going to change my opinion of said group. Same thing with opinions about solo singers. If someone doesn't like Diana Ross, or Marvin Gaye or any of my other favs, big deal. How does that stop me from loving them? How does it prevent me from talking about them?
Makes no sense, some of the things that get people riled around here.
OH I was a mess back then. I was just as bad as some folks still are now [[naming no names lmao). But yeah, that's just weird. Like if you don't like somebody, just don't enter that thread. People must be sadists because they constantly go to threads on artists they claim they can't stand.
Believe it or not, I can believe this. Like I said before, He Who Shall Not Be Named causes problems around here but he isn't the only one. And there have been times when it's clear that no matter what he says, someone comes after him. And some on the opposing side appear to be quite irrational. But He Who Shall Not Be Named does himself no favors by being equally irrational.
I think most people in the forum are civil, friendly, rational posters. It is most definitely a minority who are quick with the insults or quick with inflammatory statements that they know people will react to. Misunderstandings happen, of course, but I'm referring to the "there's no mistake about it...you trying to start some shit" posts. Lol And there are a few who fit that profile. And it's been theorized before that a lot of the goings on are really just a couple of people posting under aliases and arguing with themselves. I think it'll be interesting if Ralph ever bans IP addresses, which posters will suddenly have "Banned" appearing under their names. I have my suspicions about which ones would show up this way.
So, I've spent the morning reading over this thread. Once again; let me clarify. This particular forum has been created to represent ALL things Supreme. I don't care if Brittany Spears was once a Supreme[[if you can imagine that) I wouldn't want to see her name in any other forum but this one. I realized there would be a few mis- posts at first and I simply moved them to DRATS. Please don't expect me to moderate any fights that may occur here. Its your forum. Do with it what you will. I would love to see this turn into a most informative forum. We shall see. For now; I'm out of it.
Birdsong, I wish you would tone it down a bit. Snake has been a valued member here for more years than I can remember.
It's only been a couple of folks who have been acting a fool but since their posts got the most attention, that left the rest of us being put into that circle and that ain't fair.
