Are you going to The Lakeside Weekend....?

[Derek Misselbrook]

I love the replys on this thread just what I wanted, later on I will explain in more depth my reasons for this thread, I feel a few things I've known that have been going on in the background need to be made general knowledge........Black and white and truthfull, the way I live my life.....Watch this space !!..........

OOh - er.....sounds intriguing Derek!!

Much as I'm sure there's a load of intriguing tales to tell about the organisation of one or both of these events, let's not get another thread about Shadowsfix/Lakeside locked shall we?

If tales must be told (and I'm sure the vast majority of people couldn't care less), maybe save them until after both events have happened so that people can make their decisions independently and enjoy two weekends of great music without yet another thread falling prey to contentious and needless mud-slinging?

Quite agree Matt. We don't want another 'Locked Thread' because of 'Flaming' etc., etc. For my own part, I was merely explaining why I personally won't be attending Lakeside. It has simply to do with two things..1) Finances 2) The two events just being too close together. Nothing more, nothing less.

Free speech is alive and well and everyone's free to say what they want, within the confines of the terms of this forum (which you agree to abide by when you join).

I didn't demand that Derek not say anything, what I did was make a general plea to suggest that perhaps these kinds of things are better left 'behind the scenes' until after the events in question. A plea that, of course, anyone is more than free to ignore.

[MartcasterJunior]

Free speech isn't the ability to say anything, anywhere, with no consequences. Yes, I made an assumption about what *might* be said, based on what's already happened on previous threads on this subject and made an appeal to try and avoid that in this thread.

Having a moderated internet forum doesn't interfere with rights of free speech. As I say, you accept the conditions of moderation when you join (whether you subsequently agree with them or not), so any and all members here have made a conscious decision to abide by those when they sign up.

To assume is to make an 'ass (out of) u (and) me'

Come on Derek, Spill the beans...................

Are you a moderator then Martin? If not, then its not up to you to decide whether whats been said is right or wrong really

Anyway - Keep Calm & Carry on

(I'm not Martin...)

But no, I'm not a moderator, which is why I don't decide what is right or wrong on here. All I did was make a general appeal to not turn this thread (which is, or at least was, about positive things) into something about contention and disagreement...well we can all see how successful that was!

I shall crawl back under my stone. If it all kicks off and the thread gets locked again, don't say I wasn't the voice of reason...
