Thank you Diane. I hope that for the sake of this band, we can all just let this simmer down.

Those people left because they were either banned, I asked them to, or they just got sick of Nicks continual shitting on the band.

You see, it's one thing to trash a abnds music, and quite another to come onto a site EVERY day for YEARS and take shots at a band. It is hurtful, inciteful and illegal in its defamatory nature. People hate Nick because after all that Ed has done to his bandmates, he continues to pile it on and that is EXTREMELY hurtful to all of us who still love LIVE, regardless of who their singer is.

They are trying resurrect their band and at every turn, he tries to belittle it and shoot it down. All I truly want is for people to mind their own business. for those who no longer like Ed? Leave him and his camp alone. Same goes for LIVE. Each side responds in anger and it only incites more vitriol for new fans to see when they come to check the band out. I don't think that is helping Live or Ed any, in fact, I'm pretty sure it is causing people just to walk away and not want to get involved in the dram after even a glance.

Thank you Diane for agreeing to leave it alone, that is very helpful and respectful of you. I would like to hope that everyone else will lay off her as well.

Did you read this post too BOB? Where I'm apparently here to "STROKE" Nick and Diane? It really is a shame, all of the fighting that has gone on. I've been in these position before, and it IS possible to redeem yourself. See, at one point Diane, I was being attacked by EVERY single member on this forum.

Dan? Seems to me just being guilty of being caught in the middle really. But the guy at one point was nice enough to mail me a DVD across the planet at my request and pay for the postage. So I know he's a good sort. See the STROKING there BOB?

Anyways, my entire point has been that all of this nonsense on various social media outlets does nobody any good. Not Ed, not Live, not us, nobody. People have their opinions on who they like, who they don't like, hey, a lot of people don't like me. But in that spirit, I'd ask y'all that you don't plaster my name everywhere on the internet in a negative fashion.

Speaking of spirit, one thing this band taught me over the years was to be more tolerant, loving and forgiving. That spirit has caused me to evolve into a much better person. Somebody that I can look into the mirror and love and respect most importantly. I've lost a lot of that respect for various parties lately, but one constant has always been my love for this band. So I've kindly asked all parties involved to let it die before it becomes normal. None of it is helping anyone involved, meaning the only point of it is ugliness, hurt, grudges and lots of fcuking childish bullshit for new fans of the ban to walk smack into like a brick fucking wall. All I've heard are excuses for both sides and I'm not buying any of them because there is no excuse for any of it.

Let Dan run his site in peace and Jimmy his. Live and let fucking Live, or did none of your parents actually teach you fucking people that? Anyways, sorry Dan, this will be my last post that goes off the topic at hand.
