Mike Responds To Blog Comments

And I guess experience derives from what you've learned. I referred to dealing with LP fans of course when I said "overall", I didn't mean life in general

But yeah, sometimes I would really like to take a look behind the scenes of LPA, even though I might be scared off pretty quickly. So kudos to you guys for still being strong and optimistic

 

some fans are pissed at Mike. saying like he is just being a smartass and acting like he is smarter then everyone else. I see a backlash starting

 

It is. I mean I'm, like alot of people, am a hardcore dedicated LP fan. I'm not in favor of an album taking two years to write but move on to the other things to keep you busy. I've discovered so much more music from the gap when they entered the studio up until this point. I've even changed styles (musically and attire) These are the people that refresh LP.com to see if anything new gets posted and sheds a little tears when it doesn't I mean by God. I love LP as much as the next person but get the fuck over it and put on a different CD for once. Fuck

 

Wow, this definitely crosses the line where brazenness and stupidity can be amusing...

I have to admit that I've never visited any other LP related forum, but it seems to me that most people who post here are reasonable and down to earth regarding how to deal with the band and its music. I hope we provide enough motivation for you to continue doing such a great job!

Edit: Wow, your 1-minute-earlier post already took my compliment away ^^

 

Yeah, and the idiots that do post here don't last long.
I'm really aggravated by this

 

Yeah but I won't be fine
If I ever run into an idiot like that I'm going to punch them in the nads

 

I really don't understand the admins at LP.com or Mike's blog. I mean, it doesn't really have to do anything with cutting down free speech etc., because people should just stick to certain rules of social behavior. If you start yelling in a restaurant, you're thrown out. If you're in a book club, you can't be taken seriously if you keep rambling about how cute the author is. So yeah, I applaud you guys for standing your ground!

 

Ok then, I proved my lack of experience ^^
I do understand your argument regarding LP.com, but since it's Mike's personal blog, why shouldn't he determine the rules? If he's scared to lose fans or to have declining visitor numbers, I'd say that a certain rule package (like LPA's) would certainly attract other people to come to the site and comment more often. I'm sure rules in general are or were a big issue among the fansites, but at the end of the day I can imagine more positive than negative consequences if Mike adapted some of your standards. But maybe I don't get the problem...

 

Anyone can post on mike's blog. like you don't have to sign up. thats the problem. like if you did have to sign up there would be penalties for stupid fucks saying stupid shit, but since it's open like that not much you can do

 

Since the admins (usually) take care of the embedded stuff, couldn't they take care of bullshit as well?

Edit: But then again, what kind of rule could forbid people to ask for the album or when LP is coming to their country?! I guess I see the problem...
