Jarmo, if so many people misunderstand you, perhaps the problem isn't with them but with confusion from the way you express yourself.
I'm not into getting into internet arguments. But as far as I can see, site members were the 'hobos' in your unflattering analogy. I admire that you stick to your principles and defend the band, but you seem to frequently lash out at others to do so.

No they were not.
They are the unwelcome elements. Along with roaches and rats.
If you think I refer to all the cool people who visit this site as hobos, you really must have a really low opinion about me. But I guess, with all the shit I read today about myself, I shouldn't be surprised if people always assume I would say something like that.
Have you ever been to a party where everybody is having a great time until one or a few unwelcome trouble makers show up?
What do you do? Let them ruin the party for you and your friends, or tell them to leave?
Or maybe you should just invite them in, let them trash your apartment/house and scare away those guests you actually wanted to come?

You run things your way, thats fair enough. I think by now people have got the gist of the way this site is run, and that its different from a lot of other boards, and as you say, people can take it or leave it.
For whatever reason, obviously you didn't intend what I thought you meant in your earlier post.
I'd be interested to know what keeps you running this site though. As a tribute to the band? As a meeting point for fans who are 100% supportive of Axl? Or something else entirely. If you don't mind me saying, it seems like you find it pretty stressful and exasperating a lot of the time.
But I guess I'll ask those questions another time, since I'm so way off-topic here.

A place for like minded fans to "meet" without having to defend ourselves to people who don't share our views as well as have the most accurate info possible about the band with the least possible amount of bullshit.

That clears a lot up, and I bet not just for me. Thanks for the response.
Seriously, I bet if you put something like that on the front page you'd get a lot less of the objectionable people you mentioned.

Since I'm not American, I'm not used to having warning labels and disclaimers on everything.
Edit: Actually, the posting guidelines / board rules kinda give a hint about what kind of people our "target audience" is.

I'm not American either...but still, better to put a warning label on your detergent than get sued when some jackass sprinkles it on their cornflakes.

And it's not a American juristitical system either
Thanks for the article, it's annoying he has to be so confidential about GunsN'Roses question, even with so small "media outlets".
I guess we'll see real info whenever it will be reason to promote GnR again

Richard Fortus talks....and says nothing the G N R fan would care about. Thanks!
No, to be precise, Richard said nothing that
you
were interested in reading.
And whilst I'm on the subject - I'm astounded by the number of posters who presume to speak for me and all the other Guns N' Roses fans, as if this consent by numbers in some way adds weight to their own thoughts. When you post on this board, the only opinions you can be sure of representing accurately are those in your own head. I'd be most grateful if you could please try to remember that in future.
From my point of view, Richard was gracious enough to do this interview and I was more than happy to read about what he had to say. Thank you, Richard.

I mean, even if we both know others actually appreciate it?
Once again I have to remind you that this place only exists because somebody started it.
There's no voting on who gets to run it and how.
- In a nutshell.
I am constantly AMAZED at the internet crazies that surface on message boards, wreck havoc and when they happen to drop in on a site that is actually MANAGED and MONITORED - and they're told to drop certain things, they're banned or they have posts deleted - they're actually.. shocked? Hilarious.
Jarmo has done an ace job from the very get go.
Because he chose to. This site is his and his only to run.
I mean, what are we even talking about here? Guns N' Roses? Well, if we do have to get specific, doesn't it make you wonder why the band and their management, friends and family 'trust' only one site on the whole damn internet regarding band stuff? Just one. Yeah, this one.
That should tell these people something. Jeez!
It's not a matter of Guns, Axl, the album, Robin Finck or whatnot. It's a matter of this being a site. A well-run site dedicated to a band and there are certain rules.
So things don't get outta hand.
And the people who come here to enjoy, discuss, laugh -
AND
bring constructive critisism maybe - can take, give and share info, views and trivia without annoying freaks crowding threads and spreading moronic lies.
People.. Grow up.

^Amen.
Unfortunately, the HTGTH wet blanket brigade continues to march on.
Here we have a member of our favorite band agreeing to open up about himself but he gets criticized for not dishing the inside dirt on the band. It never ends...

Haha, always the victim. My point was, seeing how long I've been here, it's just sad what's happened here.
I'll just say this, thanks to a certain someone
who enlightened me to a
few things
the other day, I don't think the Axl camp is as
out of touch
with their fans as I thought.
