I have been reading Tell Me for about seven years now and have recently been contributing. Doxa, you seem to have great credibility. When someone needs an opinion about something related to the Stones, you tell them what they should think. Are you a Stones historian? Are you the leader of a fan club? Are you a musician? Are you associated with iorr.org? Are you the oldest living hippie, or the ultimate Stones party experience? Are you the official Stones guru? We do know you do not approve of censorship, and that is cool. You have probably been to many, many Stones concerts. Doxa appears to be a name for a female. Are you a lady?

Everyone seems to want to agree with you on everything.It is almost as if you have set yourself up as the all-knowing guru, or perhaps they are afraid to disagree with you.

Don't you have better things to do than this?

Doxa, end the mystery and tell us who you really are!

Doxa is Doxa!

Doxa is a really nice fellow IORRian, but there are lots of regular geeks here who contribute as much as he does. No one mentioned, no one forgotten.

Doxa is a collective. Promotone B.V. attempts to quell fan unrest by adopting a particular identity and using psychological tactics to influence the direction of fandom. "Doxa" is the name chosen by Promotone B.V. whereas "Gazza" is the identity used by various ABKCO Industries employees. ABKCO, notably, are more argumentative than Promotone B.V.

How were you able to find out that the name "Gazza" is used by ABKCO employees? Just curious.

I once had a one-night stand with Doxa. Man, we wore eachother out!

Doxa runs the best social club for Stones fans in mainland Europe. Not only is the conversation always stimulating and at times colourful, but he also has an incredible saloon with a great live music and a cocktail list to die for. Opening times vary but usually you can still get in pretty late.

And in reality, he's one of the best guys on this site. Always got a good opinion which is what it's all about.



Those of you with a sharp eye might recognise some of the IORR regular alumni enjoying Doxa's hospitality below.

It's Macca hidden behind a mask.

Don't fool with Doxa!

In my opinion Doxa is one of the most reasonable people here and a very nice guy as well. But don't talk about sports, Finland and dope, because that makes him mad as hell!

He has a somewhat analytical attitude, but nothing wrong with that. It's easy to disagree with him and I never had the feeling that "he tells us what we should think".

Flilflam, Doxa is Greek for opinion. And he certainly has one, at least as for the Stones. "He has a mind of his own and uses it mighty fine", to paraphrase the Stones (from Memory Motel, if I my memory is correct here).

So hip hip hurray for Doxa and Finland!

I want to hear directly from Doxa, himself or herself. Is he afraid to speak out? I always try to tell it like it is, and really do not care what other people think about the Stones. I want to hear from Daxa. Does he have some more words of wisdom for us today?

flilflam, personal attacks are not cool, especially upon someone like Doxa who always posts in good faith.

i think there's a little doxa in all of us....

Doxa is Doxa.

Can't remember if it placed a picture on the Place a Picture Of Your Own thread

LOL. You noticed, eh?

By the way ....I think for the first time in IORR history I saw a non Stones/guitar related post by our friend Mathijs

That's because he gives us all the reasons, whereas most people just utter their opinion without any explanation at all. ("I just LOVE SOL!" Doxa would never do such a thing. He would give us at least 5 reasons why he loves SOL.)

Btw: NICOS, how can I find that 'Place a Picture Of Your Own thread'? I would just LOVE to see al those ugly faces.

He can even come up with 5 when there's really none.

The problem with this thread is that I never can't find it back, it's a post from 2/3 years back, the last time I found it a lot of picture links were broken.

I will try to find it for you........never understand why BV closed this thread back then....................

B.t.w. ugly faces you can see my daughter on one of the pics

Except your daughter of course, NICOS, and possible other pictures of members' kids.

So I can't put my handsome face on it. Sorry for you all, especially now that Mick and Keith aren't that handsome any more.

The thread should have an "OT" in its title...

For us it's almost as if you're a member of the band, Doxa, because you're such an expert.

Great comment Doxa........bit short but I will live with it
