It's not hard to see why one would stay. Hell, I even stayed when my fangirly-ness died down, so did many others.

*walks in thread*

 

Ha.

Well that's Coldplay fangirls in a nutshell for you.

No, Dee, iluvcoldplay is definitely not like all of the other fangirls, I can tell you that.

No, I was really referring to the ones that "hate" the band and keep putting the band down when it's clear it's likely to antagonise a lot of people on the board.

They should at least show the real "fans" on here the appropriate respect.

 

 

I'm not saying you've ever slagged them off personally.

 

Because I was a fan when I joined, and I didn't leave when I stopped liking them because I like this place and I really like the people here.

 

Was that hard?

 

No, Dee, iluvcoldplay is definitely not like all of the other fangirls, I can tell you that.

 

"Fangirls" have every right to post on here too, and also shouldn't be discriminated against.

I'm not discriminating against anyone, I'm actually trying to get people not to generalise, huge difference.

Then maybe we actually have some common ground, believe it or not.

I wonder if I can draw a map for her she can somehow work this out.

 

well thats's what that jackass noonsun whoopie has been posting about.. I think its closing because of members like her..... :veryangry2:

First of all, if you're asking for the so-called ''mobbing'' to cease, you might want to stop using words like ''jackass'' to describe people. I don't really know if you want attention or if you're angry. Maybe you're a little irritable because it's that time of the month. I don't know. I could be wrong of course, but that's how I see it, a member of your audience, so even though I probably won't be worshiping you in these posts, please take a moment to realize that if you call people names like that, you will not get people to calm down. As you said she has a few friends who are willing to fight until the end for her, but the majority are doing so because you are a bit blind-sighted about your opinions and the way you've been handling the situation of mobbing in your thread.

I think from the beginning that this board needed an age limit and little kids should have been sent to play somewhere else... I can stand when people get petty over a bunch of shite,,, I just have a low tolerance for assholes...

Oh no!

I'm a teenager, I should probably lock myself up now and watch Teletubbies with my mom.

If you spent a little more than two seconds here, you would see that the two people who started most of the conflict here (and definitely had some fault in this) are two adults who act like children. But since you are the all-mighty forum webmaster, we should take on your actions and bow down to the POWERFUL ADULTS and send away the fans and the casual posters who have contributed so much for the forum.

In my opinion, this board needs an intelligence quiz, because in the world there are brilliant children and there are mentally retarded adults and you can't generalize them into groups because you feel that being born before someone makes you feel smarter.

ok I dont know if this post is directed towards me but you obviously dont know whats going on.. so post on the petition thread if you really wanna keep the board alive or do something to feel good about yourself

.. This thread started as a reply to a post about the board being closed for lack of sponsorship and I posted an honest suggestion that I thought would help to keep the board alive only to find out that the asshole that started the post was as usual looking for attention..... I dont have time to start threads to bash stupid people...

:shame:

Okay, sweetie. Calm down and listen to me.

Show me what she did that made her original post so attention seeking. I believe she was letting everyone know that Ian was letting...ALLOWING...THIS forum...to shut down...close...cease...AS SOON AS...the spon-sor-ship deals RUN OUT.

I hope it's a bit easier to piece together now. That was originally what she was trying to say. It's okay, I read through things too fast too, but you don't have to blame her for your faults. At least I'd have the decency to apologize. I suggest you do too, because she didn't deserve the name-calling from you.

You had a good idea, don't throw a fit because no one's using it right now. In fact, you should be a bit happy because there are no news lately that the forum is truly closing down, I am.

but you obviously dont know whats going on

OH WOW

I hope you feel better about yourself now.. You've had your 5 minutes of fame..

woahhh Ok people lets break for commercial and let Reilly have the floor seems theres something that she wants to get out .....

ohh and thanks :D

I see this as a cry for help and a failing attempt to be a comedian.

I'll shut up this time because I still want to keep your ego as high as you do. I wish I had that much confidence in myself now.

ok I know you feel all left out and so you wanna get your say and make it all about you.... so keep on posting cause fucken retard have you looked at your avatar lately.. is that you... lookin a bit gay says the retard to the fuckin fag... :wink3:

wow this is the best night I've had on this thread in a while...

Why do you take homosexuality as such an insult?

I ask this because I recall you writing slash fanfics about Chris and Guy in the past? Maybe you just read them?

I am honestly not surprised that arguing on a Coldplay forum is the best night you've had in a while.

I used to talk to Sara a while back and she was pretty nice, she decided to become super bitch to some people later but that's none of my business but lets check some things. She's like what 15/16? Underage, right? But she worships you man! Just look the way she talks about you. Can you deny that you have influenced her at least a bit? But hey funny thing cos it's the second time from a different person that i hear that you get really , really REALLY irritated irl by stupid people or for some comments. What happened to" HAHAHA you don't fucking know me, i'm always laughing behind my keyboard when i insult people and nothing ever affect me LOL" Oh i also know you bitch to your friends about people you dislike to others on msn, is that not taking it personal?. " What a ****! Can you believe x person is saying this? lol" I do know you got annoyed when you were cloned, annoyed for real and you can keep playing the bad ass card all you want but i see some cracks in your armor now. But anyway back to what i wanted to say, it seems it's ok that stuff like " go suck on my penis" is totally fine and you can say it to any " moron" or " stupid fuck" just cos you're bored. Fuck it man, you’re almost 21, you're not 15 anymore. I know you still use your old motto of !" HAHAHAHA I'M A FUCKING PRICK ON FORUMS BUT HEY I'M THE SWEETEST GUY YOU'LL EVER MEET ON MSN LOLOLOL!!!!111 "

 

 

what a sweet young lady .... my my....my

I talk to Ren all the time on MSN and he told me he just asked Ian to de-mod him, so I don't think he was writing this post in a ''policeman'' point of view.

That, however, had absolutely nothing with the point you were trying to make.

How would you like it if we were friends and were fighting, and I stopped talking to you because I overheard one person call you one name over something that had nothing to do with our fight?

It's a disgrace and extremely lamentable that, even after everything that's been said and what has happened over the last 24 hours or so, these people still haven't got the message and modified their behaviour.

One can only conclude that, deep down, they don't really give a sh*t about the board or what happens to it.

A very sad day for Coldplaying indeed.:angry:

(This post will no doubt now attract a string of sarcastic comments from those same people, just to prove my point still further, if that was actually necessary).:dozey:

 

Mark, you're infuriating. All you've done this past weekend is make up nonsense about people you dislike, and then act smug when they react to your blatant insults. If you're going to criticize, use a tangible quote instead of vague, general comments. So far the only people in this thread who've instigated unwarranted attacks on other people are you and iluvcoldplay.

Tracie, like I've said before in another thread, the place isn't a warzone. Most of the threads on here are usually peaceful, it just so happens that the place has been turned upside down in the last week. Before that there wasn't much going on at all.

 

It's only if you are over-sensitive and go looking for it, and I'm honestly not trying to start an argument, I only do that with people who deserve it, but you do seem over-sensitive, and for the most part, looking and focussing on the arguments instead of the majority of threads which are peaceful.

 

I don't know what the point is of me saying this, it seems like you've gone. But I've never had a problem with you, and it was nice to see you back for a little while.

 

That said, when I say the majority of threads are peaceful, you have a fair point, you made a thread that was intended to be peaceful, that's all you asked, and somehow it turned into a lot of arguing. Now, how did that happen?

 

This guy:

Yes, the advocate of peace on this forum, the man who really cares, who would do anything for the good of this forum, except for having the humility to shutup when things get out of hand, and keep niggling at people for a response.

 

I just read Tracie's thread, and it's blatantly clear Mark, you turned it into a warzone. Re-read the whole thing (I'm basically posting the important parts). You and your antagonising comments, constantly trying to cause a divide in a thread where she specifically asked for just peace. And from your first few posts I knew exactly that is what you were trying to do, so I just stayed out. I log on today to see that you achieved exactly what you were looking for, not specifically to start a war, but to bring out other people and provoke them to retaliate, and make them look like the bad guy. Then you can sit back and pretend that you were looking for peace when all these 'trolls' invaded, you do it on a regular basis, especially at times like this when you feel like you've got a bit of power, and approval, your arrogance shoots through the roof.

 

Tracie complained a bit about how the board is apparently in some kind of mess and for the most part, just wanted to say hi to everyone, so here's what you do:

 

So the big question is' date=' how can we turn this whole situation around?[/quote']

 

(A question you take it upon yourself to answer as nobody really seemed interested in talking about that)

 

I was going to suggest that a few of us like-minded souls set up a new (fight-free) thread that we could all post in. Anyone non-hostile welcome,

If anyone tries to ruin it we could then get them put on "forced ignore" so they couldn't post in it.

Just an idea.;)

 

Here you go, dividing the forum, bringing up issues that you well know everyone is reading, and waiting for people to come along and retaliate. You do it everywhere, and especially in a thread that was supposed to be peaceful.

 

Then Camille (The mod) makes a sarcastic post about how you should go and post on your own forum (Exactly the response you were hoping for) and i'maveryneatMonster, Briggins, Imightbewrong and Pseudonym bring it up, is it any surprise? Imightbewrong being the only one to write something directly critical (But by his standards was pretty polite), so everyone except for you at least realise it is supposed to be a peaceful thread (Which is why I didn't respond at all to you).

 

When you start snobbily talking about this elite forum which only the 'non-hostile' are welcome, you're going to get a reaction, and you know that, it's why you do it. Because if you weren't trying to antagonise and divide the forum, your next post probably wouldn't have looked like this;

 

Why don't all the Coldplay haters and teens who only want to speak to other teens start up their own forum where they can slag off the band and squabble to their heart's content.

 

Just an idea.:rolleyes:

 

Now you go into more specifics, singling out teenagers and people who dislike Coldplay. It is simply you trying to get more of a reaction. Even if you didn't intend to start an argument, you should've realised the situation you were getting into by now, and simply ignored Camille's response. But as usual, you always need to get the extra word in, instead of being an adult and realising that your presence (Whether you feel justified, peaceful or whatever) is causing un-rest and divide, and then you should've shut up or gone back to replying to the 'non-hostile' members that you claim are the only ones you want to know.

 

Now, because you are so incapable of letting things rest, Tracie has to tell you to just stop, because you've responded with antagonising comments TWICE and it appears that you're just going to continue (Which, you do).

 

No offense, Mark, and NOT taking sides, but this is what I'd hoped to avoid in this thread. There are plenty of other threads to have this discussion in. ;)

 

You SHOULD have a blog, btw, you'd be good at it, but this is for me to catch up, not for people to carry on the disputes they can have in other threads...

 

OK, I agree, but then you should also be telling Camille, and anyone else who tries to start an argument, the same thing. Fair comment?

 

Now look, you can't even just take the bit of advice and move on with the thread. You have to be bitter, and bring up Camille. Like I said, the reason Tracie stepped in was because you seemed to be setting yourself up a string of responses, whereas Camille only said one thing, it was sarcastic but not aggressive and quite rhetorical. Fair enough maybe she shouldn't have said it, but Camille isn't a troll who carries on looking for arguments, so she said what she wanted and it's pretty clear that she'd then stop.

 

Electric.Candy, who I've never seen ever get into an actual argument on here (She's the most relaxed person here probably) then makes a joke post "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" and then you take it upon yourself to tell her to leave;

 

If that's all you have to contribute' date=' please go elsewhere.;)[/quote']

 

Because she's so relaxed she doesn't care, but there you are telling people what to do. I've had this kindof debate with you before, and for some reason, when you tell people what to do, it's not ordering them, it's giving 'advice', but when someone tells you to shutup or go away, thats 'ordering' you. Here's a news flash, 'advising' someone to go elsewhere is telling them what to do.

 

Anyway, onto more blatant antagonising;

 

The most perplexing this is (and I mentioned this in another thread)' date=' IF ANYONE HATES COLDPLAY SO MUCH WHY ARE THEY EVEN POSTING IN A FORUM DEDICATED TO FANS OF THE BAND IN THE FIRST PLACE.[/quote']

 

This is unbelievable! It comes out of absolutely nowhere. And what is it doing? Calling out people who hate Coldplay, in a thread that's supposed to be about peace, for everyone on the forum, teens, Coldplay haters, everyone, and here you are, again, calling them out and looking for attention.

 

Jenjie makes a post doing exactly what Tracie asked us to do, focus on the good, and she does exactly that. She talks about how nice a lot of forum members were to give presents to the new born, so she's done absolutely nothing wrong. Is that good enough for you? No, you post in a sarcastic, antagonising manner;

 

Thanks for taking the trouble to post.;)

 

I'll admit at first I didn't know what this was supposed to mean. Then I saw her reaction;

 

Please leave me alone. I'm angry, upset and very emotional.

 

I posted because I actually want to remember the good times. and I don't want my memories of Coldplaying tarnishing by the stupid flame war that has been going on for over 18 months. so please don't use me to further whatever further arguments are brewing (that goes for everyone)

 

its supposed to be Coldplaying's 10th birthday this year. it was supposed to be a year to celebrate.

 

I don't know what the history is between you guys, but clearly there have been arguments. You couldn't just let her post, you had to make a comment. You knew exactly what you were doing, and while you may not have been abusive (Because you know how to play the game) you were definitely calling her out, when all she was doing was trying to make Tracie look on the bright side, but you couldn't just let that happen.

 

Now, you're really on a roll, because now you're getting confrontation in between confrontations, as in between your brand new argument with Jenjie, is another possible juicy confrontation for you, as Cobalt responds wanting to know what is wrong with teens. It was inevitable, as a lot of forum members are teenagers, you knew you'd get that response from someone.

 

This is where you turn it around to look like the nice guy, despite antagonising teenagers, Coldplay haters, Camille, and Jenjie, you write this:

 

As Tracie said, if you want to discuss anything like that, take it elsewhere. Nobody is criticising teens per se.

 

Everyone has a right to post on here irrespective of race, nationality, gender, sexual persuasion, religious beliefs or AGE.

 

It's absolutely ridiculous. Cobalt, despite being a 'teen', then backs off and says she doesn't want a fight, and she doesn't post again in the thread. Of course it's not good enough for you, you still have to get in the last jab even when she's gone.

 

Also within all this was Dee telling you to shutup, because you seemed sarcastic in sympathising with Jenjie as you only acknowledged a little part of her response, as usual you see this is her trying to 'order you around' and infringe your rights;

 

Please stop trying to tell people what to do. Thanks.

 

Then, in the most sickeningly ironic way, when another member asks about what the thread is about, after you intentionally caused so much shit among a handful of members in such a short space of time, you write how the thread is about making the forum a friendlier place.

 

That took a long time, but what's amazing is that this is just one thread, you do it all the time. Since the Coldplaying genocide it you seem to be strolling around here like you own the place now.

 

Tracie's thread clearly illustrates exactly what I've been saying for a long time, and what a lot of people already realise, you are the main problem around here. There will be always be people who are abusive and 'hostile' but you are no different just because you do it without swearing and in a calm manner, you constantly seek that attention in an attempt to look like the nice guy and try and gain more supporters.

 

You have 60,000 posts and half of them are from writing snidey little remarks for people, hoping for a response, and then making another snidey little in-direct comment. At least me and Nathan made it clear what we were trying to do, never wasting time being in-direct, because all that does is clog up the forum with hostility.

 

You have no problem clogging up the forum, dragging people into arguments, as long as it looks like you've done nothing wrong, you are the one who truely doesn't give a shit.

Please leave me alone. I'm angry, upset and very emotional.

its supposed to be Coldplaying's 10th birthday this year. it was supposed to be a year to celebrate.

 

 

just for the record, this is the whole post which should be read in its entireity. not just the first paragraph.

Oh, OK, I wasn't trying to mis-lead anyone, it's just that my post was getting long enough as it was and I don't see why it needs to be read in it's entirety. I was simply focussing on how you wanted to be left alone, showing that Mark's post clearly wasn't written as a genuine 'thank you'.

 

I edited and included it. But to be honest, I don't really see why the rest is so necessary in the context I posted it.

thanks for editing :)

No problemo.

I'll admit I hadn't read Tracie's 'hey ya'll' thread front to back until just now. Mark's militaristic behavior in the midst of the light-hearted chatter is truly astonishing, your breakdown was spot on Reilly.

woahhh little people still at play... I'll go grab myself a glass of wine and come back for some more entertainment.

 

 

keep up the good work! this is hilarious :laugh3:

yup and I have let some other people come and read it as well and they think its all just as entertaining as I do.

 

we all had a big laugh and the thought that I would even feel a small inkling of hurt at all the bashing towards me. Honestly though it's been very insightful and truly entertaining.
