We need to do things in moderation. Saying we worry about them is fine, say it all the time is not. It's called badgering, pestering and any other words to that effect.
Yes we worry about her and the band, but never to be point of being disrespectful. There's is a thing called "overstaying your welcome". Even when something starts out as a good thing, push it too far and it stops being good.
The band has already recognized this forum's existence, heck, they might have even assigned someone to watch us. We never know.
Whether or not that is so, we MUST be mindful of what we are saying. We have a reputation to maintain here.
We can discuss things about the band and express ourselves, that's fine. Say it too much and say it in a too extreme way it's not fine.
No one is saying we should always praise the band, this is NOT a zero sum game.
The issues that we have been having lately is not WHAT is being said, but HOW they are being said. There IS a difference.
The no bashing clause is right there in the forum rules. If anyone wishes to discuss it or have it removed/amended, please take it up with the moderators.
Btw, it is categorically untrue, the allegation that we cannot discuss things we don't like about the band. I myself have criticisized the band in the past. If it were truly forbidden, a certain thread in the general discussion subforum would've been locked a long time ago.
Apologies for going off topic.
