The rules on this board are simple and easy. I never had a problem with them.
Bjornulf, thanks for all the work you put into this board.
I second that. My opinion is: you shouldn't do on internet what you wouldn't do at home or anywhere else. But this is me, and I think it's a shame some people can't understand the written and unwritten rules here, that are simple and easy, like Rolling Hansie wrote above.
I third the motion, and nice add on Cristiano.

The rules may be simple and easy, like Hansie says, but the interpretation of them or, better said, their application to concrete posts isn't always unequivocal as history has shown. So also moderation isn't always simple and easy.
We're just at the point of getting this to be more black and white and you're introducing interpretations that make it less kleer!
Many things aren't black or white but something in between. Moderation is clearly one of them. Don't blame the messenger for being a bit ambivalent regarding his name.
Well I kleerly like your posts. Cheers to you!

The thing is that I spoke a lot about Mick's girl-friend at home and I probably didn't say the nicest things about her and the whole situation.

One would think that the fact that something is printed, discussed, in the press would be reason enough for it to be a relevant topic on Stones site, but so be it, the site can be whatever the creator wants it to be, and it's fair enough, everyone knows what they will get, and not get, here.
A serious question -- the predictable "controversy" over the Stones playing Israel -- I assume that also is off limits here?

Interesting and thoughtful post, Dreamer. By the way, what was your job position when you toured with the Stones? What tours did you work on?

What is the 'predictable controversy'? As long as we're not getting into a political discussion, I would presume we're ok to discuss stones related topics, but what is the 'predictable controversy'?
All sorts of bands play Israel, and Stones have just played in an Arab country.
Don't you think it's kind of nice that music sort of transcends politics?

Maybe controversy is what he likes to create. I doubt he likes music to trancend politics.
This is a guy on a mission; I remember some of his words from the R.I.P. thread:
You have the right to think something is tasteless, I just think it is silly to complain about people making what you see as tasteless comment on the internet. Tasteless is allowed.

Personally, I wish it would since I generally, personally, have a complete distaste for political matters, but unfortunately in the case of Israel there are those who make music a political issue. But it is a controversial topic and many people have strong opinions, so my question was, based on that, I assume we can;t discuss it here.
