Thanks for sharing Batmotor. I thought I would have to wait much longer to get to see it. Interesting to see that they've all been fully engaged in recording TKOL after all. :surprised: I was especially delighted with the atmosphere during the last three songs. Looove watching them in the studio so much. Oh...and since I want to give the Cozz thread in the lounge a bit of a break...this Colin moment, obviously with the flu, the turtle cup, the pinky watch, pure awesomeness. But I didn't get his wii- idea? For a sickening umptieth time: I love this band so much. It's almost mental.

Rest in Peace, you poor darling.

God no. Am feeling very sorry for the people of Norway. Such a nice country. Europe needs to start to deal with the growing rightwing angst very urgently, I think. @ Ainsley and William: Oh my, I hope you all get good help to deal with this horror. :hug:

Ha yeah, what to do. :D:shrug: Ok, I haven't clad my old grudges in silk and honey when comparing Ian to Berlusconi, I am sorry for that. It's just that some of this board's policies remind of current Italy. Again, for the sake of a solution, I'm sorry. I think I'm not commenting on the Admin's reply to that any further, but you seem to really be pissed off by me, wow. Make sure that I'm annoyed for some reason too. Explanations would help. Ian obviously didn't know that I was actually acting connective rather than critical in that whole sad xxkels-situation. I also should stop to announce that I will leave or not come back on a topic when I then never do that. That's dysfunctional- which brings me back to this thread's purpose. Because I'm hardly the only one with dysfunctional bits and pieces of character. The way and the tone of some of the mods and Ian, when reacting to members' sometimes dysfunctional questions is sometimes dysfunctional too. Which then provokes uproar on the members' side (well, me, Lore and Reilly these days) and then the administrative side is being annoyed, etc. etc. We are all right and wrong in this. We should work that out. Because Lore, Reilly and me are not and never have been antagonistic just for our entertainment. It would be nice, if you all could understand that. It's the tone that's wrong. Prolly on both sides.

Nice. :) Nothing more to add to this, hope you'll listen to the others. I think the mods understood what this is about and solve it with Lore then. When I say I'm sorry, then I am, btw.

Yeah, that would actually make sense! That never occured to me.

Berluscian, where are YOU. The mods are there to sort things out. It's possible to not just rule things out, but talk, until there is a consensus. If you don't have time, everybody understands I guess. But it's the tone of how you say that. You can say that larmoyantly, that is an option and is great, because then we feel bad and hysterical and stuff and subsequently you feel good. ( You could also let your doggie add things like:" It's Ian's board, he can do whatever he wants. :smug:" and not comment on that astonishing piece of revelation. :p:nice:) Or you could just say that and still make people feel heard and show that you generally take care. That would be better, you know. Sorry for picking you out Ian, but I see your ongoing refusal to want to discuss those things as the main source of all that neverending misunderstanding. You see that the mods are there for it. I'm gonna add some more later, if neccessary. Am off now.

OK, have a good night then!

^ :wacky: what means to put a blue ribbon on somebodies brain though?

:(

hahahaha, yes, I forgot that, too. it's like being italian in berlusconi's whatever it is thing. amazing policies. :P

let the games commence: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4882888#post4882888 this is so doomed to die :disappointed:

some of us members are being highly annoyed by how some of you treat our concerns/irritations/inadequacies

Oh yes, I had forgotten about that! I'll create a thread and hope we'll work things out then. And thank you for so stoutly carrying the can for all you mods, Carrie!!!

Lol, there is no hope for my plea. edit: this wasn't directed at you Lore. I'm giving up on this.

Uncool me, I spent the last 10 minutes or so thinking about what to cleverly retort to that but there is just nothing popping up. :angry:

Oh god, this sis a bit too much of the board against Numbersgirl now. Not too fair, is it? Wouldn't make it more sense to file last night under 'extreme', and have a general discussion about the way mods and boardies should deal with one another?

Since Nick seems to be taken care of, I'd like to add some more to all the conversational misunderstandings according to how I perceive things/ and have for the last two years or so. It's the tone, which feels provocative sometimes. One, as a user is concerned and airs that, and more often than not one is being cut off in rather harsh answers. Might be mere clumsiness, lack of being able to deal with annoying issues better, etc. But I think it would be worth to talk about it, so to avoid future insurgencies.

Having a head-ache, Reilly? :\

this is a long story! :bigcry: you might want to read this thread to get it though: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78089

let's hope mr. lick is out of all that and ohio by now.

don't worry, i didn't refer to today's happenings. :) it's old stuff i'm talking about, but explanatory to lore's initial complaint. hopefully we all, the concerned users as much as you mods and ian will one day have a mature talk about how to handle such things with the due respect to the users, WHICH THERE WASN'T SOMETIMES, IAN... browsing the course of this thread i think it already started to improve.

=)
