Any reason to why the Open Letter From Merck was removed?

[Mr. Redman]

Yeah, the title says it all, and the letter was all positive.

So, any reason to why it was deleted?

[polluxlm]

Don't ask

Maybe Jarmo will tell us when he returns.

[DeN]

i had the time to read it and it was very interesting.

anyway, thx mister Mercuriadis for the five years you devoted to Axl & the band.

You're only allowed to talk about it when/if the mods decide it's time.

Until then, please stick to the allowed topics.

in fact it was more interesting to read than the Axl letter.

Whatever happend to free speech, eh?

It's either because:-

Mercks just left the camp, and probably cannot be trusted, as his side might be have twisted truth in it.

Or...

The email wasn't sent to HTGTH and it's not on gunsnroses.com so it must be false.

Free Speech doesn't apply to an Internet forum.   But you'd think that common sense would.   It's GNR related and this IS a GNR related forum.  Or was.

Things are removed from this board becaause it's the offical "unofficial" forum......

This board has been hosted on sanctuary servers before, and although Jarmo claims that is no longer the case, I have a hunch that it still is.  And I wouldn't be surprised if Jarmo receives a paycheck or some other financial benefits from all of this (like flights, tickets, and backstage passes -- which we know to be the case)

I'm not dissing Jarmo here, just pointing out that this is a forum run by GNR so you can't expect them to let people just post anything.

You know for a fact he gets paid by the band?

Hey Captain Obvious - he said "I wouldn't be surprised".   He doesn't know for a fact, it was quite clear.

He also said "which we know to be the case" meaning he knows for a a fact that it is happening. That is quite clear Genius.

Did I say that??? 

no.

I'm just saying that the site doesn't have ads and is supported financially by someone.  Jarmo has admitted that it used to be on sanctuary servers.  who do you think is paying the bills?  it's not fucking advertisers, or Jarmo himself.  The band must be paying the bills, and in return they get all of the negative shit deleted from the forum.

c'mon, it doesn't take a high school diploma to understand this...

Just because the site was once hosted on Sanctuary's servers doesn't mean Jarmo is getting paid. Besides, GNR isn't with Sanctuary anymore so why oh why would they continue to host tis site?

[DeN]

if it's true, it's sad.

we need our independence to freely talk about GNR
actuality, even if it's not from the band itself.

It's a contextual thing.   Maybe next time he'll write in crayon


I'm just winding you up, no offence intended. 

[destry rides again]

LOL, and now I get negative karma for pointing this out?  What the fuck it that about?  I would use a four-letter word that starts with "N" and ends with "i" but I don't want to get banned again

if this isn't proof that this board is run by GNR, I don't know what else is.

And I can't beleive that I get negative karma just by pointing this out, I didn't diss jarmo or the board or anything.  hrmfph.

YOU GOT NEGATIVE KARMA BECAUSE YOU MADE THE SAME POST IN TWO SEPERATE TOPICS.

As I pointed out in the karma thread. Don't fucking assume things....

[nonlinear]

DUDE, I never said he was getting paid, I said that "I wouldn't be surprised" 

Quit putting fucking words in my mouth.

sorry, I didn't know that was grounds for negative karma.  I thought karma had to do with ethical violations.  sorry about that, I will delete those posts

Stop hiding behind semantics. Your still accusing him of something you have no idea about.
