Interesting, Scott, how you criticize the teenagers for posting crap on the messageboard while you yourself can't seem to escape the mindset of a teenager who giggles relentlessly when someone says something remotely sexual.
The only difference is that you're the one bringing up Freddie's sexuality and your oh-so-colorful euphemisms when it's not even called for. How's that for mature, as you so plainly stated in your first post?

I agree with Arlene in that I also find offensive the incessant, excessive, strained gay sex descriptions that Scott frequently has posted. I believe him when he says he intends them as jokes and means no offense; I still don't like them.
However, I SKIP OVER THEM because he has every right to write crap on the internet like everyone else. Censorship is worse than offensiveness.
But I am glad Arlene gave voice to the viewpoint that finds them offensive.

Whether someone is young or old doesn't matter - it is whether they are decent or just abusive that matters.
For example, the post above from 'Linda Of The Valley' is an example of what I would class as an abusive idiot - she may be 12 or she maybe 52, I don't know but it is not the post of a mental mature person ... as are a few others in the thread.
i think that there is a distinction to be drawn between "abusive" and "less tolerant" - linda is less tolerant..(but why not?)..(apols if i sound patronizing Linda, i wasn't ) everyone has their thresholds....and let's face it we get enough cretins in here to fill Broadmoor....so i think the 2saner2 amongst us are fully justified in taking leave of our senses once in a while when the tw*ts demands it!!!

Thank you.
Scott. I saw your post to me.
1)I didn't articulate something to you correctly. I don't mind at all the length or detail of your posts and topics.
What I mind...is what you go on and on about which is...
2) Look, I, and everyone on QZ jokes about all sorts of things.
But you enjoy so much, HARPING on and on, over and over, very GRAPHIC, LURID, I would say, intentionally exploitative sexual (particularly what comes off as pointedly gay bashing) remarks...NOT just about Freddie..but any artist you want.
(I remember when you called Constantine from American Idol something to the effect of "such a Gay singer,") not in informing us at QZ of his preference, but in ragging on him....but what does name calling him..and with a sexual preference..which IS gay bashing...have anything to do with how good or bad his performance was?
That's not just joking. There comes a time when something is no longer a joke, and comes off as downright attention seeking on your part, and degrading to Freddie (and to gay people), and to straight people who are offended by it's overuse/abuse.
Like I said, it's as if you are auditioning to write for a tabloid, or sitting in a men's lockeroom.
Just remember...that even in the real comedy entertainment world...
...remember comedian Andrew Dice Clay..who became famous for using such prevalent, prominent woman bashing, sexually oriented, misogyny in his jokes...that at FIRST...he became famous for...BUT then...the "jokes" wore off and a very public BACKLASH happened, even when he was supposed to guest on "Saturday Night Live", and the female members of the cast..REFUSED to go on, if HE did, and his career....ended.
You have some nerve stating how immature the younger QZ fan posters are. Again, you are an extreme hypocrite. And you take delight in regaling everyone on QZ with LURID jokes and stories of Freddie's debauchery.
Again, I know all about that from the tabloid press who have gone on about it enough.
Like Egret said...I could skip your posts...but the reason I didn't skip over this one was I wanted to take issue with you in how I didn't like this hypocritical topic you started, which is degrading, generalizing, and putting down all of the younger fans on QZ or people who you said do NOT think through before they post something and post junk..and according to you..thay post sexually titalating fodder..
...(Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black!)...Do you EVER see yourself Scott...????Really.
...and you said that people should only post topics and posts that are intelligent and well intended.
Look who's talking! I worked with 2 bands and believe me the sexual escapade stories they told when we were on break could curl some people's hair. I expected that from a group of wasted rockers, talking amongst themselves. But I do NOT expect such immature, inflammatory, tabloid fodder..that you delight in regaling we at QZ on about.
Contrary to popular belief, this is a FAN forum, not a group of band roadies and members trying to one up one another on the tales of their debaucheries. Get a life.
And stop generalizing with age demographics on here or your definition of who a TRUE Queen fan is or who should post on here. You are not Stalin or a dictator. Stop acting like one, and again look in the mirror. You yourself post topics and posts that are as immature or inflammatory..or worse..t
Heh bad taste jokes, I laugh at those all the time, I'm evil. I can't help it, just the look of indignation my sister gets when I drop the 'N' bomb. Good times.
Hey, I read this thread and struggled to figure out if it had any relevance, so I took a little test. I walked over to my sister and said 'I just read who Scott Mercury thinks the real fans are!'.
My sister went 'who??'.
Case closed.

scott....you cant tell anyone where and when they can post on the forums. these forums are for people of ALL ages who ARE Queen fans not just those people who saw them live in their glory days or who were there when freddie got aids.
it says on your profile that you are 26, well heres a tip start acting like it instead of acting like a 2 year old. be mature and accept that there are people that are my age (15) and younger posting on these forums about what they think of Quen ect.
so just to wrap it up......GROW UP!!!

Well I'd still use my tongue to claen Freddie's asshole out if he asked me to. I love him. sorry.
We love and miss you.
You and only you.

Obvioudsly, scotty boy here is very indecisive as he's changed his mind half-way through that Queen fans actually DON'T have to be old to be true lovers of the music..
*sigh*
Always thought he´d wanted us to "use our brain", no matter what age ?! ;-)

All that matters, on this forum, is that you love Queen, their music, and want to discuss it.
It is totally irrelevant (as with anything in life) what your age is, your creed, color, sexual orientation, gender, religion, nationality.
Actually, Scott's view is biased, close minded, and in a way, bigoted. Here in the USA, bias against age is considered bigotry and discrimination.
Either that...or Scott is just an arrogant simp who wants the world to think Scott wrote the BIBLE History of Queen.
And with respect to Sharon G...I think Scott would smack down any one who does not conform to Scott's idea of Freddie worship..which actually...
..I do NOT feel if Freddie were alive, I feel that Freddie would NOT appreciate at all. Scott sounds like the very jerk Axl Rose who claims to this day to LOVE and ADMIRE Freddie as an influence and musical hero, but is a gay basher. And didn't Freddie say that he would SPIT in Axl Rose's face.
I don't think Freddie would think Scott's idea of "playful" joking about Freddie's sexuality (being gay) would have been something Freddie would have liked, in any way shape or form.
Scott's overt gay bashing does not come off as joking to me but at all, but as latent gay bashing.
Liza Minelli lead singer, I would rather have baby spice :)
And I'd rather piss thumb tacs.
So, I'm not a 'real' fan because I am only 22? Because I wasn't AT WEMBLEY in 86'? Because I thought Wayne's World was a funny movie?
exactly..
Lester Burnham (page 3) puts it more succintly about my thoughts from Scotts original thread, but I would still prefer BS to pissing thumb tacs.
Dang!
How did I miss this thread? This is the first night I ever saw it.
I need to pay more attention. :P

I detect a tinge of..sarcasm. NAAA!
LOL!
It's true Arlene!
This is the first night I've read this and it's so freakin' hilarious.
It's a great thread!
I may not agree with everything Scott says but his writing cracks me up.
We all need to be less uptight at times.
