And you wonder why you were banned by QOL in the first place, eh CNB?

Sweet Caroline, The Phila. tix did not sell out in five minutes. There's plenty of tickets left. Just went on the site.

I've never told anyone to "fuck off" like so many others do and I've always spoken very highly of Freddie and the original members of the band.

It's not rocket science. Like in any community, old-timers enjoy more freedom than newbies until the newbies build a reputation and gain respect. Or put another way, people can behave how they want in their own home but guests have to mind their manners. In your case specifically, your enthusiasm for AL often comes across like you're a pushy used-car salesman. And you act like no one but Freddie or AL is worthy enough to sing Queen. I mean, you criticized a fan who posted an amateur video of himself singing for not being as good as AL. Can't you see how obnoxious that is?

SweetCaroline wrote: Yes, but I was baited by the chief troll over there who said that fan would be better than AL. I said he had a very nice voice but that AL doesn't use an echo to enhance his voice. Who knows, I could be wrong, maybe he does use an echo but I've never noticed that in the 3 live shows I've seen. I didn't say in so many words that AL was better so I don't think I was being obnoxious.

If you know you are being baited, then why do you fall for it??? You act like only Freddie is "allowed" to sing Queen songs better than AL, and anytime anyone expresses a preference for someone other than AL, they need to be "corrected." That's obnoxious. Try to understand context. For example, if some parent posts a video of their kid singing WWRY and people say, wow the kid should sing for Queen, would you compare the kid to AL too? Really, if you MUST compare at all, then at least compare to Freddie instead of holding up AL as the standard that others need to meet in order to sing Queen. That's obnoxious. I realize you are not intentionally obnoxious, but perhaps you should give some thought to why other AL fans on QOL don't seem to get the amount of rudeness and blowback that you do.

SweetCaroline wrote: All of the other "obnoxious" AL fans have been banned or have left from being tired of being constantly hounded or criticized. It kind of works both ways. The other AL fans who get along over there now get along because they watch their step. They don't want to get banned. No matter what I have posted, even if it is very NICE, there are people ready to pounce on me, but THEY don't get banned.

That's called "how the real world works". When you join an established community, you have to accept the community standards -- no matter how unfair you think they are -- or you don't join the community. If you want to change community standards, you have to either become one of the "bosses" or put in the time and work to become a respected community member such that people will value your opinion. What you don't do is join a community then complain that people aren't changing the rules to suit you -- that will just make people not respect you. And when people don't respect you, they won't give you the benefit of the doubt and will look for the negative in what you say and do... which is where you're at now on QOL, with people pouncing on you even when you are nice.

SweetCaroline wrote: It's hard to see crap about Adam being a fat giraffe, but I guess I was supposed to laugh about it in order to be a pleasant "guest."

You don't have to laugh about it, but you should at least be able to ignore it instead of taking it so personally. Sticks and stones... if Brian and Adam don't care what the haters think, then why should you?

SweetCaroline wrote:[/b I came there originally in 2011 with lovely intentions only to hear about vibrato and "goat throat." Again, those people don't get banned. If you hate Adam Lambert you are welcomed with open arms; otherwise, watch your step!

Not true. Some of the people you consider haters have also been warned and gotten temporary bans. You'll notice that since you've been banned, that other QOL posters have come out either to say they like Q+AL or at least are willing give the collaboration a chance. So it seems that QOL is not filled with Q+AL haters. But rather that some of the people who support Q+AL just never got a chance to speak up (or maybe didn't see the point of speaking up) because your battles with the haters tended to derail the discussion.

You didn't dare say anything about personal attacks in SweetCaroline’s thread about me, of course you didn't. You have nothing to say about her running here just yesterday to bitch about what she thought was going on elsewhere. But no, it's me who is bad for bumping old threads. Saint Jiub is getting some heat for this thread. SweetCaroline started a thread purposely to bitch me out, that was the attack, not this thread.

This wasn't a reply to you personally and my comment was in response to Cosmicc saying I would wish that on people.

You and St. Juib and someone else yesterday, can't remember who, all three of you need your heads examined for rooting out old posts. This is beyond ridiculous. Cut it out, move on, and be a little nicer in the future. I still am not seeing what was wrong with Caroline's posts. Back then on QOL, although not as awful as here, she was always jumped on for the most innocuous things. Not sure why posting about great ticket sales would engender the remarks that it did, other than once again, the Queen fans posting there didn't want QAL to be successful, kind of like it still is here for some posters. You all need to go to the principal and be suspended for a while as that is the level of this behavior.

Hmmm....part of me is saying I am deadly serious, but the social side of me is saying I should refrain from saying that. This place has gone beyond shit and is full of some complete miserable cunts. Who gives a fucken toss if someone has a different opinion to yourself? That's what makes us human. To be able to share your opinion and not be butt fucked for it and vice versa should be part of human interactions. What the fuck is wrong with you all? Members hiding behind a keyboard and abusing people and continuously starting threads to pick on other individuals isn't smart, it's a fucken cunt of a thing to do. By doing that you are being a complete cunt! How about just fuck off with all this hatred and shit and get back to talking about the music, sharing stories etc. If anything Covid-19 shows us is that it doesn't matter who you are, we are all the same no matter where you're from or what your opinion is. Why do we have to hate on each other! If some of you believe in natural selection I would be concerned. PS. Sorry for so many references to the word cunt but there is nothing else better to describe some of you.

I won't go into much detail, but I was trying to be supportive of someone who very well may end up in the front lines of helping the people who are ill and possibly die from covid. The only and only SweetCaroline ran here to bitch about it, saying goes I was brown nosing, empathizing and being sugary sweet. She wouldn't dare say it over there, but yea she comes here to do it.

Which QZ topic and which page?

SweetCaroline wrote: Yes, icy is the lowest of the low and the nastiest of the nasty and everything she gets is in return for the crap SHE dishes out first. She thinks she owns Freddie Mercury and everyone who loves Adam automatically hates Freddie. It is disgusting and beyond ignorant! And on and on it goes because she has absolutely nothing else going on in her pathetic life but to write pages and pages of hate. If it is a slow day who else but her has the time to look back for posts that people wrote 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 years ago? But over on QOL she is back brown nosing, praising, empathizing and sugary sweeting with one exception—the Adam Lambert thread. Her hate and resentment of him knows no bounds. Have fun, icy! I’ve said this many times before but now in these extremely dangerous and stressful times I am totally finished ever responding to your disgusting crap! This is your time to shine because you thrive on the negative, nasty, hateful, depressing and somber aspects of life.

Here is is, Saint Jiub.

The more I read and now seeing even more stupid threads started on QZ the less sarcastic I become and the more serious I feel. Humanity is becoming more and more stupid and selfish and mother nature is having a clean out just now. I just hope she only targets the right ones.
