My new years wish to all of you...., Yes, just for you Options

[Live4Life]

My wish is that everyone would kiss and makeup and stop ganging up on nick over all the stupid nonsense. Whether he is a "ED" fan or a "Live" fan he still a fan and you guys just love butting heads and fighting on a constant basis. For once i would like to come here and not see everyone going loonie over anything nick has to say. It really is getting kind of old and it seems like a few of you, [no names] are just a tad obsessed with him and can't just ignore. I can understand you don't agree with a lot of the things he posts but a lot of us others don't agree with things a lot of you regulars post either. It solves nothing to fight. We all have a right to be here and speak freely about anything live or ed related. It's what the forum is for. All i ask is to try and tone it down. Just ignore him or block him if he bothers you so much. We are all here for the same thing. The music and chatting about everything live. Can we at least try? No name calling...calling me an old lady...etc...I am not a bad person and i wish to get a long with all of you. So, can we all start the new year off to a good start? A new beginning if you will? I say we do it and i think it's would benefit us all. Please consider it? Cause i am really tired of it and i am sure many others are too. Let's try...just try.
This is all i ask. Thanks for reading.

It's not all one way traffic. If we try he has to as well. He's not some poor victim, he invites so much of what he gets, it's not that he loves Ed that he gets the most flak, it's his insistence on sticking around to hope Live fail without Ed. If he steps away from that and focuses on purely what he loves, that bring Ed, then he deserves to be cut some slack.

Maybe he would if you would all get off him and give him that chance. I don't think he thinks they would fail without him...have to admit.... It's just not going to be the same live. fact. Yes, we know this. But i'm sure he is going to give them a chance just like the lot of us will.

He's been given plenty of chances and this is an on going thing that just drags on and on. I'm more than happy for him to go on loving Ed and promoting him and whatever he wants to do there, that's fine, I'm over intentionally trying to get the Ed team riled up. What I wish he would stop doing is shitting on new Live, if he doesn't like it, that's fine, just move on. He's already said he won't give them a chance, he said he wants to be counted out.
it's definitely not going to be the same, it'll take some time to get used to, I can perfectly understand people having reservations, I mean I do, I can't say I'll definitely 100% love it all until I've heard it.

To be honest the whole thing just seems to be a case of retaliation now, someone will say something about Ed, he'll say something about CCP, so someone will say something about Ed in return, and he'll fire back about CCP. I wonder sometimes how much of what people say they actually believe or are they just going in to bat for their team.

Its just why I wish you just stick to what you like and stop shitting on the stuff you don't, life is too short to be spent taking pot shots at the enemy. In passing comment, maybe things will come up, but going into enemy territory as it were to intentionally ruffle feathers is getting old.
Let the people who are excited about new Live, and even the ones who are nervous but willing to give it a go, have their fun, if you already have decided you hate them and that they'll fail (which Nick has pretty much admitted to) then move on. If you can't stand the Christian stuff that Ed is drumming on about now in his songs with, then put him in the past and move on.
