In a way this in-fighting mirrors what the band were going through between Astronaut and RCM (and Solo projects and Notorious)! Monkey see, monkey do. Don't you all see: We all like Duran Duran so much that we have become like Duran Duran, squabbling like premadonnas, when everyone else knows that we should just put our difference of opinions to one side and make some nice music together, ah. Only kidding... Round 5... Go! Ding!

One of my personal hobbies is photography, but even with that you get people squabbling. You'd think that having the same hobby would allow a connection and therefore friendship to form between everyone, but it just doesn't, because people would rather argue over camera brands (Canon Vs Nikon seems to be a popular argument) or how photos should be taken. Duran Duran fans appear to be the same, we all love the same band but are ultimately unable to agree on anything due to the fact that the band has such a vast career and so many different albums.

Or, alternatively, PETER JACKSON HAS RUINED THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!! I don't know which was more volatile, the SW boards during the prequel years or the LotR boards during the movie years. The drama was incredible! Of couse, now Jackson's trying to get The Hobbit going, but I don't think people are as passionate about that as they were with the LotR films. They better hurry, though, Ian McKellen ain't getting any younger...

Yes you were You protest too much Roxy, you remind me of someone else on the board who does nothing but jump in to bicker. Its so easy to say something on a message board and it come across in a way that wasn't intended, but to kinda come on here and just be nasty all the time? Are you maybe just venting frustration from other stuff going on in life? You're accusing someone on the message board of having these other handles. I'm not a mind reader, but seems like it's just the best you can do to take a cheap shot at someone you don't personally like. Now in the thread we're talking about bickering. The way I kinda wish we all looked at the board is as a little coffee shop, or someone's living room, where we're all having conversation. Passionate debate is cool.....and hell, the closest families fight and bicker.....but there's still an undercurrent of good naturedness about it. Seems like that's mostly what happens here on the board. Something I'm guilty of at times is reading a post and having too immediate an opinion of it vs. giving others a little more benefit of the doubt. There's been several occassions where I jumped the gun and then felt bad about it later. And I've certainly made an ass of myself a fair number of times (lol.....I swear I'm not intentionally trying to downplay it either.....I really try to behave on the board, I just screw up sometimes). Guess what I'm trying to say is instead of kinda being here only to attack folks, why not try to get to know them instead. There's several folks on the board that I've had spats with.....situations where I truly think they were asses, wrong in their observations/behavior, or whatever - but I still respect and value their contributions here (and even agree with them far more often than disagree). I've even wondered a times if in a real life situation they might be people I actually like. Ya know, sometimes people you argue with are actually more like you than you might want to admit (recognizing your own faults because someone else mirrors them). Sometimes good folks just rub each other the wrong way too. Maybe you could find things you like about folks here and build on that vs. everything you don't like. Lol......or......maybe not. I mean.....ya know, just because I prefer the conversational kinda thing doesn't mean that should be for everybody. And like I said, I've certainly had my share of coming across badly....sometimes unintentionally and sometimes because I was being an ass. And yes, George Lucas has ruined Star Wars. I still can't break the news to my inner 7 year old that Darth Vadar is some wussy, entitlement minded brat who screams "it isn't fair!". That's the scary, creepy bad guy from my childhood?
