WHY isn't this board FILLED with condolences tributes memories of Paul like the Facebook pages are? One can spend hours reading these and can bring tears as well as smiles. The Facebook pages were and are laughed at for being where the groupies are and for non-intelligent, or stimulating TSO conversation. Well I'll tell you Facebook is where the REAL FANS are now and has this so called intelligent stimulating Board of TSO "fans" lol beat by a long shot. Yes I am a groupie and proud to admit it. Yes I like intelligent stimulating TSO conversation too but I have not found it here up to now and certainly not now. There are people here on this Board who will not have Paul and TSO to kick around anymore.
I am not a regular here, but it is simple math why there aren't many tribute posts here. This board has only 234 members as opposed nearly 10,000 on the main Facebook page. Plus, people are attached to their smartphones and iPads this day and age with a very easy interface for Facebook. Of the 234 members here I bet less than 1% visit regularly. In fact, I can probably count on one hand how many times in the past year I have been on here, mainly because the board never took off. Most people came here because they wanted conversation and discussion. Most didn't say they wanted "intelligent" conversation. They just didn't want to get on Facebook and see the same blurry camera photos over-and-over and listen to people talk about Dave Z's tight ass and rock hard abs. Not a dig on David as I'll be the first to admit he is a good looking dude AND a super nice guy! I mean that!
Anyways, you sound frustrated and are probably feeling some hurt. Which most of us are right now. However, I think you are pretty out of line with your post. It was not only aggressive but it was immature and poorly timed considering the current affairs regarding the band. Either way, I hope you find some peace within, and enjoy your weekend. Have a blessed day!
