I'm sure that it wasn't created for the purpose of being bombarded by wannabe Melvin Purvis G-Men. There are some that post on this site for the purpose of discussing the backstage goings on a station which doesn't garner huge ratings by the way. Are people really interested in that stuff? Personally I began posting because i thought it was a good place to discuss things that the personalities were stating on the air. I found that I frequently disagreed with the hosts of the shows and this was a good place to vent.
It still is a good place to vent, Jason.
Were you a member around the time North started to make his power move in destroying Monsters and HFC? Now those were the real days of wild speculation about the personal lives of the hosts.
This is all pretty much light hearted stuff today. There is usually one whipping boy at the station that gets caught up in the groupthink of the site. It seems like Meatpants is that guy currently. It has previously been Lawrence, Bernstien, Mac, North, Salisbury and whoever that guy is who went by the nickname Huge. The threads about these guys are pretty easy to spot and avoid with plenty of other fun and sometimes good conversation in other sections.[/quote]
No I wasn't. I began posting about four or five years ago. Its idiotic to refer to me as Goff when he posts under his own name. I know some use multiple names around here. The only problem that I have is that it way too leveraged towards Speigel firing. When Goff was there it was about whom he was going to replace. The really stupid thing about it was that none of it was ever true. Much of the speculation that takes place on this board turns out to be completely false. Some of the same people that criticize Terry for his "guys" and his "peeps" do exactly the same thing that he does on a daily basis. They start threads that are repetitive about backstage stuff that they know absolutely nothing about. I don't know which one is more troublesome the people who start such threads or the ones that respond to them. Probably more troublesome are the people like me who read such threads.[/quote]
Unlike Terry no one here claims their belief is based in anything other than the monsters in their head, Riles. I think that is generally unstated but understood except in the case of Beardown where some take it seriously and abuse him for his work.
Before you get too worked up on the Goff thing, Big Partner, I think people are just having a little fun at your expense and your reaction fuels further response.
