GREG BROOKS REPLIES - addressing the issue of whinging weirdos

Poppy is in fact a really nice person.

To Poppy...

In YOUR 'thing', I read, from you...
.............................................................
Dear Mr Brooks,
I wonder what mr. Brian May, who is known for his kind way of communicating to his fans, and who pays your salary, should think of you...You are calling people who dare to have an opinion:

-Plonkers
-pleb
-dick-heads
-Simple people
-shit head
-weirdos
-morons

You should be ashamed of yourself...I detest you.
Grow up, and learn to receive feedback. What did you espect? A statue?
.....................................................

Now you tell me that those words came from elsewhere, but YOU quoted them Poppy. YOU used them in YOUR thread. That means that you agreed with the sentiment. Otherwise why would you have quoted it????

I don't owe you an apology. YOU quoted that "I detest you" thing, and now you are hurt that I came back at you over it. You can't have it both ways. YOU quoted it at me, so you have to live with it. "I detest you" is a spiteful and stupid thing to write or quote to me or anyone. This is just a music related site after all.

Then you say that "it hurt" what i wrote to you. You amaze me.

I don't set out to hurt anyone, i hate that word and the whole concept of one person hating/detesting another... especially when you have never met me - or if you have you do not know anything about me.

YOU quoted it. And even quoting such a thing, in my opinion, doesn't make you a very nice or sensitive person, on the face of it, does it? Go on, pick fault with that, instead of apologising.

FLASHMAN...

Touchy touchy! Ooooh! I struck a nerve with that, didn't I.

People like you always lash out with things about "shagging", or the lack of it, when they cannot think of something clever, witty or cutting to say. You're another one who dishes it out but cannot take it back without getting all hot under the collar. Calm down you silly goose.

You know what they say about people who go on about OTHER people and sex, don't you???? and you mentioned it completely and totally out of context.

Are you one of those bedsit Billy No-Mates, Flashman?

I'll send you something nice in the post. OK.

Now, maybe I should have edited the 'detest' bit because I don't detest you, although I'm starting to dislike you. I was simply agreeing with this persons first point.
Clear enough for you?

Is it the industry standard to start 3 different threads to tell the fans that they suck?

wondering that myself...and he's calling us unprofessional and unconstructive. Well, to be fair, he did only start two, if that is Greg Brooks, who seems to be ignoring all the speculation that its him... Whatever, I dont care. Carry on, all you plebs :P

lol it really has been fun reading this thread...i still can't believe thats the real GB. no wonder we haven't seen anything new and creative released from queen in ages...this dude is a professional self-employed(yeah right, if it wasn't for queen you'd be sucking **** in some pub)idiot!

Yes, some people are very reliable and very honest but there are also some people on the list that are known for having a WAY too wild imagination when it comes to Queen's history... [/QUOTE]

So I shouldn't have mentioned Urk '83 right?

You didn't make the list, dude...
I'm sorry, man...

;-)

Well indeed Queen releases aren't great and we haven't got a lot of them.

I also think that Mr. Brooks insults aren't the best tactical move (and yes I understand this place get's you on the nerves (most of us have an IQ equal to that of a steak, but in the store I work I always have to be nice towards the customer no-matter wether their insulting me or spitting me in my face).

But I think we can rather offer him our help, explain our plans about good releases, than insulting. And I hope he will take our opinions serious, so together we can make beautiful Queen DVD's. I am offering my help (I believe I also know some number one's): drsdaja@msn.com

Oh. 2 threads, the 3rd being TRS'. Maybe I owe GB an apology!

I'll think about it as soon as he uploads Face it Alone.

Three days of biting my tongue - and I am still really sad to read this.

I thought that one of the things QZ did really well was to pool our resourses, and push the Queen envelope forwards.

Some of the more serious discussions in here, have been among the most informative in the Queen WORLD, and I have always thought that this was the place I came to 'learn'.

Infact, this site has been MORE informative and accurate than the 'official' sources. This is because we CAN speak our minds - without censorship, or breaching Draconian vows of Masonic proportions.

It is a pity that such entrenched views have been drawn up on both sides.

I personally believe, for what it's worth, that by joining forces, both the official and 'unofficial' apostles - could between them, create the most magnificent Queen Bible - ever.

However, as this will always be a one-way street, I guess that divisions are no more than to be expected.

Therefore, to address the balance Greg, I offer you a personal challenge. No tricks, no cons, and nothing up my sleeve.

In good faith, why don't you begin a new thread? A serious question and answer session - wherein you answer some REAL questions - honestly seriously.

This is not meant as a pissing contest - more of a juvenille 'you show me yours - and I'll show you mine'.

You can not seriously expect the good faith and support from such a tight-knit community, without flashing a little bit before-hand, do you?

Why do I get the feeling that's going to catch on?

Greg, no matter how hard you try

I WON'T let you suck my cock

sorry, pal

it's not gonna happen
