Rolling Stone: Part-1, Chad Taylor blog on Medium.com Options

I’ve been a trusted confidant of Live for many years and still try to

Someone posted Ed’s phone number on FB group and we got it down quick

I spoke to Jerry Hardin about it and Ed was thankful for us admins acting quickly

It was a fake account. Can’t prove who but suspect someone

[LiveFan92]

You want the job ? I’m kind of sick of it but the boards were for music. If you don’t want to see Bill or anyone for that matters messages, block them, and it disappears.
I shut down that thread because of several people took it as a signal to defame others. It wasn’t political at all. This article is totally defamatory by someone we all trusted and looked up to. Over time you get to see what really goes on and try to stay neutral. I’m not defending anyone! That is the rule of Facebook…..if private messages between members that are threatening violence. Can you prove it by simply saying it? Take the steps to fix it properly. No one showed me any proof. You’re libeling me now with that statement. I haven’t done shit and you know it. Your threats are total bullshit now that I can see what you decided to post here, you’ve called yourself out. We have other mods who also moderate. Some have left due to disinterest. Here’s a secret. Don’t defend your musical hero’s because when they wrong you, they’ll make sure to run you over backwards when they’re desperate and are running from the truth.

See what JClive said and let yourself discover reality vs propaganda blogs. People need to fix their own lives and stop defecting their issues on others

Hey, it's all one big shit show now. I certainly wouldn't want to be the moderator of a Facebook group about Live given what all is going on. Given the legal liabilities the band seems to have, you're probably bound to get dragged into it somehow if you don't crack down on the rampant speculation... but if you do that, then you get accused of stifling other viewpoints. I get that.

I just think Bill should maybe lay off antagonizing folks in the group a little bit. It doesn't help his cause the way he seems to think it does...

I can't claim to know anything about what really goes on behind the scenes with the band or anyone in their inner circle. Honestly I rather the band members not use social media to air their grievances. The behavior I witnessed in the forums was clearly antagonizing by.a certain individual. I did not want to be associated with it anymore. Apparently having that opinion is a violation of their constitutional rights.

And the text from the article is still up on this site. Hard to really delete anything these days, huh?

That's why it should not have been put up in the first place. Stick by what you said or explain why you are taking down. Or apologize and promise to do better in the future.

Referring to CT and his postings.

Must have some dirt after being way up in there for so long

“The lady doth protest too much, me thinks” Keep going …. With every paragraph that is written and posted, credibility diminishes.

Coming around to the same thought! I read today that narcissists have a strong urge to let everyone know that they are "the good guy." Taylor's white knighting here sounds like a narcissist who is trying to convince us he is morally in the right and his opponents are in the wrong.

Taylor needs to get off social media and into therapy. At a minimum, he's going through a lot right now and fighting his former colleagues online isn't going to help him. The best he can do now is try to extricate himself from the financial mess, care for his family, and work toward what his legacy will be. He's still got life to lead, and if there is one thing enemies hate, it's your success. Hell, he may even still have music to make. Shinn does seem to be right that Taylor may be mentally stuck in the age where he found success, but he needs to grow up and move forward.

I can see that argument, but then...

Since cutting a deal with prosecutors in September 2022, in which he pleaded no contest to felony criminal trespass, felony theft by deception, two counts of felony forgery, misdemeanor stalking, and misdemeanor simple assault, Hynes has been held under house arrest at Live’s former corporate headquarters in York, Pennsylvania. We’re speaking over Zoom, with his lawyer looking on. “[Taylor] is a selfish individual,” Hynes continues. “He only looks out for Chad Taylor … and I’m probably one of the nicest, kindest people you’ll ever meet.”

...

As was suggested in another thread. It doesn't have to be either/or.

If you can't stand by your words, either because of legal ramifications or because they’re untrue/embellished/whatever, then don't say them in public.

Fucking he said, she said, they said, ghey said bullshit. The only one who seems to have any credibility at this point is the guy not saying a damn thing and that's EK.

Deal with it in court and move on, for better or worse.

Yep, nailed it.

I find it amazing that the peanut gallery here that loves to take a piss out on everyone and everything is not discussing why CT removed his blogs and other musings slandering everyone he's come into contact with? The surrounding situations of his writings and reasoning for the blazing discourse.

Just silence. Must be fear, must be laziness.

"and as the final sunset rolls behind the Earth
.....and the clock is finally dead

I'll look at you, you'll look at me
and we'll cry a lot....
but this will be what we said....
this will be what we said

look where all this talking got us, baby"

Peanut gallery, huh? You’re right here in the gallery with us, a lot, and under several aliases too.

I noticed the blogs came down. How would that be lazy? It appears he’s been very busy, because his Instagram account has seriously been pared down, as well as his Twitter account deleted. Logical thinking would lead one to guess a defamation lawsuit or cease and desist order.
