I never heard any of that gossip stuff, I guess. I've never heard a bad thing about Casey really. Like who his girlfriend was, specifically, or all kinds of stuff? Never would have known crap like that happened. I am knew to all this forum stuff though, so I didn't have the ability to hear stuff like that either. Honestly, I think most general fans wouldn't even know about it. It didn't even happen on this forum. But there was a lot of arguments because a lot of people treated speculation as facts. For example people speculating and making assumptions about Casey's sex life, previous relationships, his faith and all sorts of things. Some of these things are obviously private, but at the same time it is silly to make assumptions about a person like this, as we as fans only ever get a glimpse of Casey. I think that might have been the main issue. There where also a few fights between twitter followers when Casey didn't follow them for example. People got very jealous of each other, and that always causes fights. (It might even be why Casey isn't using twitter a lot these days anymore. But that is speculation, dont treat that as a fact.) While I personally think on principal a forum should be an open place where you are able discuss things openly, at the same time I can also understand why it would be easier to just avoid some of these more personal discussions. [/quote] You hit on something here (and other times ). If you're going to have an "unpopular" thread, then let it be; then if things start to get out of hand, Meme (or anyone) can step in. I think we all here are able to spot "hot topics" and make suggestions to change direction, don't yous think? Meme, if you were referring to my post, I was stating an opinion, albiet a strong one. I was feeling a little raw and it showed. However, it is my opinion and I would never expect anyone to feel pressure to conform. (like I could ) At the same time, if I want to vent, then this should be the place, right? If anyone comes to an "unpopular" thread, then they should expect strong opinions. btw, Yes, it was about the single, but it was unpopular. I had to choose what I felt was a best fit. As you can see, I took the discussion further to The Single thread after I felt less controversial. Hope that makes sense.. I appreciate your concern, Meme, but you have done a great job setting the tone on this discussion board and I applaud you for that You have made it a pleasant place to come and post/read/discuss/educate/learn. FABulous! Now, you can trust that by doing so, you can allow people to come to the "unpopular" thread to maybe gossip some, vent, be angry, strongly disagree, but do so in a respectful way. That momof4boys continues to post here is a very good sign you have done your job well

My post was very clear , you have the right to post what you want as long as you're on topic & without hurting , annoying , attacking other's people & discussing Casey's personal life , which is private , this is why we don't have the right to discuss it . that's only one & our only rule here . ETA : this subject is over-discussed here . move on to other subjects , there must be some .

Signed in on the chatroll last night to find a discussion of alcoholic drinks ("lemon drops" etc.) and suggestive remarks about the LDCIAN lyrics ("why does he have to 'shut the door?'", "the dogs lick", etc.) Felt a bit un-Casey-rep-like, with little to no discussion of his music or what was going on during the Vegas gig.

I have seen that before on the chatroll, therefore I mostly just dont go on there. Well that and the other reason is that I am often a sleep during that time. Lol BTW I think what Meme meant to say is that you can discuss your thought about the single here.

I never noticed the few times I have been on the chatroll. You really cant hear anything on the phone clear anyway. I think people are just being silly. Since I didnt see it I cant comment on what was said.
