The Seeker Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 It should be, but it isn't always and just ignoring everything and waving white flags and singing love songs doesn't make it go away. Apart from that, I don't want to contribute to this discussion. I understand both point of views, and I think it's time to let it rest, but I'm certainly not part of the Let's just love one another and live in peace group here.

OLD 55 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 As far as I know there's only three or four discontented people. We'll just have to get rid of this discontent so the majority of people can enjoy the Top Ten. I think most are tired of Posts that are (I consider) detrimental to it.

edna Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 This is a sad position for me and probably for most of us. Farin, Radhi and I are friends, Darryl and I are friends too. My thoughts right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 For some reason Levis wants me to state here on the Boards that Martin didn't leave of his own accord. That's correct; I replaced him. I'm not going to go into why. I'll just repeat - it was not a 'snap' decision. Also, I had previously suggested he take some 'time off' when he was going through a bad patch. I've offered both of them joint positions running weekly 'Specials' after Chris finishes the Ultimate Top Ten. That could either be to shut them up or because I feel sorry for Martin, or both. Maybe it's an olive branch. I know with PTs flying backwards and forwards it's after 12.30 P.M. here. My Wife says 'just walk away from it all'. Not likely now !

Lucky Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Alright people. Here's Lucky, with her famous two cents. First, I think that it is ridiculous that any discussion of Martin is going on, as though he's gone or something. He's right here, logged on at this moment. Come on! Here's how I feel. A decision was made, by the person who, for all intents and purposes is our CEO. That's what CEO's do, make those tough decisions. Obviously an unpopular one with many, but a decision just the same. People have opinions, on both sides of this issue I'm sure. Shoot, I have my own. When unpopular decisions are made, there is bound to be some fallout, and I think we are just experiencing that. I think that this is just a delayed reaction. It's not fair to point at people, and name names. I would ask that people remember that decisions are made for a reason, and we are not always privy to those reasons. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and of course some initial discussion is going to happen. I would have preferred that comments from ANYONE, and the discussion of them not take place in the thread, but privately. No need to air dirty laundry. However it has, and we must live with what has already been done. This is the place we come to have fun though. I'd like to acknowledge everyone's opinions, and ask that any future commentary be kept private please? We are all friends after all. Please remember that. There are no badguys here. Just differences of opinion. Edited September 9, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Now, I think it's time for a Musical Interlude.... Please click here Anyway, haven't seen you in a while. How've you been? Have you changed your style? And do you think that we've grown up differently? Don't seem the same since you've lost your feel for me. So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye. There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, There's only you and me and we just disagree. Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh. I'm going back to a place that's far away. How 'bout you? Have you got a place to stay? Why should I care when I'm just trying to get along? We were friends, but now's the end of our love song. So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye. There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, There's only you and me and we just disagree. Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh. So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye.

Lucky Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Not complaining, but Peace Frog was my nom, Tim was just excited that it was nominated and made it in the top 10. I apologize Jane. This was an editing error. I only meant to acknowledge to Tim, that finally Peace Frog made it. He's been very vocal about his feelings that it is close to being the greatest song in the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Continuing the subject of music.... The Every Song thread has been updated. We have two artists that have never been on the ten prior to this. I didn't hardly believe it, but it's true. The great James Brown, and the amazing Buddy Miles. Not too shabby.

OLD 55 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 And while I'm here, let me say how much I appreciate Lucky and Fintan's efforts in running the Top Ten. It's too easy to take it all for granted sometimes. My mind has been racked by paranoia lately and I haven't been 'with it'. I only remember two songs in this week's Top Ten. Let's hope next week is better ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
