Pop-haters thread

[MarsGirl~Descends to Hell for a bottle of milk]

Wow. That explains that pophater mystery.

Well it was fun while it lasted...

As you will all see the pophater account has been removed but in the interest of the 'debate' I've not deleted posts or locked this thread. Unless of course I'm compelled to in the future. 

 

Perhaps there is a way of tracing his/her account to any existing member and he/she can be warned or sanctioned?

I just checked more now, "pophater" was actually quite clever and did his/her research on me trying to be a parody of me.  The impersonator started a thread somewhere about guitar effects of choice and then stated that he uses an M13.

Maybe he/she studied my posting history, found that post about my nephew playing The Edge sounds with his M13, and decided to start that thread to try to impersonate even my nephew.

Sorry if this is getting off tangent now, just needed to vent and make it public that I never make second accounts to post just to agree with myself.  On the opposite end, I find myself many times being disagreed upon by a vast majority so many times in this forum that I am immune to it and don't need to agree with myself. Because on most of my points, U2 agrees with me anyway.

Such as my views on POP.

Cheers,

Your IP address isn't public on the forum.

So it was you or it was someone at @u2 who has access to your ip.

You doth protest too loudly.

On my blog, I can see the IP addresses of the people who have both accessed my blog as well as commented...

Quite a weird way for a fan of mine to emerge.  It sure is creepy.  Rather than go through the trouble of creating a fake account and trying to pretend to be a groupie of mine, and he/she could have done was contribute to this 21-page epic thread:

http://forum.atu2.com/index.php/topic,4058.0.html

It would have done more wonders.

I think we should just shut this thread down. Jick, you could always repost your post about Pop on another thread so people can see it.

Just in case we forget like

This thread can be shut down. Because although my second post is nothing but facts and excerpts through over a decade of research in international publications, the first post was made by a creep-like fan of mine.

Hence all discussions after his first post are "fruits from a poisonous tree." A new thread can be started, this time be real members with real identities.  But I will not post my research in the POP worship thread because it might be inappropriate for the mood and blind gushing everpresent in that thread.

That's why its called a worship thread. If you don't like an album or people gushing about it, do not visit the thread and waste your time reading it, let alone posting negativity in it.

Creep-like I agree with, A fan of yours, not so much 

[Nanda360]

oh no!  what's the purpose of a thread like this? I don't like a couple of U2 albuns (Oct/R&R), but it's not such a violent dislike!

[Thunder Peel]

Maybe next we'll see the likes of ZooropaModerate pop up....

"Zooropa is decent. I like some of it and hate other parts of it. It's just okay. Discuss!"
