Subject: FW: I thought this was to talk about the Band?


 I joined yesterday and I thought this was a list to chat and meet and to discuss Creed. So far all I have read is what Scott did on the show and how many times he blinked and stuttered, if he was sober or high. 
 
So you take issue with discussions which are on-topic?
 
Also the cutting down of others that don't know much about this list. My take is I think anyone would be nervous in front of a live camera knowing millions were watching and lights are beating in your face.
 
And you're endeavoring to end this destructive conflict and bring order to the Creed list by continuing the thought which you, in your previous sentence, took issue to having brought up in the first place?
 
If your a Creed fan why would you sit here and bash a member of the band?
 
We're not bashing anything. We're discussing. That's why this list is called CREED-DISCUSS. Because you don't like someone else's opinion doesn't mean the other person is de facto "bashing" anyone or anything. I actually find your intolerance of other peoples' opinions quite a bit more unnerving than a discussion of Scott Stapp's appearance on a news program...
 
And some of us are new to the list and or the band, why insult them by leaving the comment Remember the Days When people read the FAQ first.
 
Because it's good nettiquette...and it indicates that you're someone who wishes to PARTICIPATE here as opposed to simply rousing the rabble. That's not your intention, you say? Prove it. If you don't like to read about other people being criticised, don't join in and engage in the same behavior you claim irritates you.
 
 I have to say this is not what I think Windup and Creed had in mind when they started this list. This is just like the Message board that was shut down for the same reason. Thank you all for helping me decide this is not for me...Thank you to those of you that did have positive things to say and nice greetings...Take care all...
 
Your loss...  what more can I say?
