In one of my first posts on this forum I suggested that the Stones should call it a day before they became a parody of themselves. My aim was to provoke some kind of reaction, and I sure got it. People went complete berserk, it was quite entertaining.

What would be a Stones newbee? Fan since Bigger Bang? The 90s? The 80s? Since Some Girls?

Since they let the new guy in...what's his name, that guitar player with spikey hair?

LOL, am I newbie? Saw my first show at 18 in 1999, been a member here for over 10 years. But compared to some of you that's a kick in the bucket.

I think we also fall into categories in another sense too.

Most of us, I believe, visit these pages with a real interest in what other folks think....

..whilst a few visit primarily to impose their own thoughts and views on others.

And It's usually quite easy to tell one type from the other .

I guess i'm guilty some, i think it's natural to be confused when others disagree so vehemently, i tend to just come away from here sometimes thinking, i'm the bad guy for having an opinion.
But yeah , for sure, fascinated by other peoples opinions and why they can't see what appears so obvious to me. Yes i was a bit of a dick the other day saying Mick would tour without Keith if Keith didn't want to go, that train has definitely passed and i was being provocative on purpose to annoy a certain individual. Guilty again , who's perfect

Not everyone of the said latter category do impose their own thoughts on others though. Instead they make it our privilege to share those thoughts if we want to. And they may love to meet differing points of view, because it stimulates them to think further.

Exactly so ...wouldn't quarrel with that.


The important thing, both on these pages and in life, is to be open to changing our views when folks present us with a convincing argument.

Explains a lot.

Well, if you've got the feeling that bloodhounds and watchdogs are at your feet, you'd better seek some professional help.

Meanwhile, some self-criticism and restraint could also be helpful:

This feels like being stalked, can you back off please.

Don't worry, it only feels like it! But that can happen when, according to your own words, you are "provocative on purpose to annoy" certain people here.
Anyway, for stalking you are just not important enough. Remember that this message board is not about you and your inner fights, nor should it serve as a vehicle to transport agendas against band members. A bit more restraint please and you'll probably get the love you ask for.

How does one attain the next level, can we get a rundown of the levels?

I don't post that much any longer - not recently - but I've been on this site since circa 1995-96.

I had a svartmer on my left shoulder blade which was benign...it was annoying so I ultimately had it removed.

Way to go, Svartmer. People went berserk because they recognized a word of truth there of course. And we can't have that...

Still here, watching new people having the old arguments - don't often feel I have anything new worth saying.

Same goes for me. I read once in a while and write very infrequently.

But at 72 I am still alive and counting...

If you're old school, you can't forget the poster FERRANTE 9. He was a Macca lover who constantly ripped the Stones and professed his love for everything Macca. He just tried to get under your skin. Sometimes it worked on people. LOL.Anyone remember this knucklehead.He just vanished one day.

Sparkly Top has been here 14 years and still here for all things Stones. There is only one BV
