Na i agree with you, as u said on sj, pv is too light sj is too dark, need a little bit of mocking, keeps everything entertaining!

nothing personal against you, especially as I’ve met you and you are trying to do good stuff in your wider life.

but I just don’t agree with anyone, whoever they are and however sound they are otherwise dealing with bad shit in your life by passing the pain on to others which is what too many people do on line. I know people in real life who have done that kind of shit and I just don’t accept it, and on here there are real people with real emotions…

There’s lots of other stuff you’ve posted that has been fun; we do have a bit of a laugh here as well – you didn’t get any beef for that.Theres a fair bit of banter between me and some of my new friends from Suffolk on this site and some old ones from Reading here and in the chatroom etc… lots of our new users from Oxford ways have a good laugh as well…

I also have had disagrements with elraveon about various things – and there are times when his attitude has been defeatist – but haven’t resorted to calling him names nor editing posts. Nor the “anti-immigration” types which I am obviously never going to agree with!

Angel has posted lots of random stuff but much of it was the fun banter that people wanted.

Lots of people enjoyed it; and TBH it did come across as you were criticising her merely for having a bit of a laugh – exactly the thing you wanted other people to do – to “lighten up”

There’s a limit to what someone who lives in the wrong end of a country where few raves happen can post about the ins and outs of the UK underground rave scene.

There isn’t much good news about raves at the moment anyway what with every rave being blighted either by violence and/or over-zealous feds -it is all serious, heavy shit at the moment so to lighten up people are talking about other random stuff on here (and on lots of other message boards)

It does piss me off too that we can’t have those big fun reviews about who did what at a rave but when people are getting busted we have had to limit our “freedom of speech”

There are times when you haven’t really been “having a laugh”, you have been using this board merely to vent your anger at people to make yourself feel better. I’ve noticed it and so have a few others.

Just because it happens on other messageboards doesn’t make it right

Initially we gave you the benefit of the doubt as we all have bad moods but it keeps happening every so often. You have apologised – fair enough – I’ve seen it in the threads but it does seem to keep happening every so often – perhaps when things aren’t going so well elsewhere in your life..

TBH if you could control this and not “pass the pain on to others” I would personally like to see you back as a mod as you have contributed loads to here – but only if you are genuinely prepared to accept how things have evolved here ..

Possibly because some of us have only just come online and read this.. No one on here is out to get you USE. I think you’re a great guy and i know you’ve been through alot, but like i said before times have changed and PV has followed suit.

I miss the fact that i can no longer post up info about parties or say what happened etc with whoever.. but thats just the way things unfortunately are just now..

Chin up hun..like i said :love:

of course not always but it has happened and you give no indication that it will not happen again if you have a bad patch in your life…

I disagree totally…

since 2001 long before even this forum or DC or SJ started I have been challenging the darker aspects, vandalism, violence, misogyny etc; got a lot of shit for being “too negative/serious” about this long before any of the forums were around (they only existed after 2001 when broadband became popular)

started loads of threads about it here as well – its not exactly been pushed under the carpet, and some people have tried to do something about it…although you have previously accused me of over-emphasising the darkside of the rave scene!

I also have carried on partying at SE England underground raves until very recently (halloween was my last one)….

I don’t discuss recent incidents in too much detail (same with raves) simply so people don’t get in trouble, but if something happens repeatedly (such as the run ins with locals) it gets discussed, not just be me but by our other users as well.

the harsh reality is all has been noticed by the wider society despite the positive stuff and its as much why there is a clampdown and zero tolerance and crews are being pushed back into licensed events and doing it through the proper channels.

Not just the laws and surveillance but karma does have a habit of coming around..

People had the chance to deal with it years ago and did fuck all or not enough quickly enough, I was there and saw things go downhill.

I do appreciate what you have done over the years for this site but you are wiping it all out in a cloud of negativity and egotism, I am shocked and saddened by what has happened to you TBH.

I’ll leave it at that and hope that whatever you do with your life in the future goes well.

Yes, I moved away and calmed down my rave activities and I have no regrets for this, because I had a good offer and too much drugs and late nights were fucking up my health and mind.

I’d already spent 15 years of my life helping set up parties..also by that time (earlier this year) too much bullshit had been going on that I am no longer prepared to stick my neck out to support or defend; although I will always still support the positive sides of the party lifestyle – thats what this place is all about.

I have already said that if you were prepared to calm down you would be welcome back as a mod but you have said yourself that on occasions you can’t judge or control your mental state – fair enough.

There are plenty of times when I have wanted to kick off at people like in the immigration thread, and TBH you are now coming across like you are deliberately trying to wind me up just as a “test” or something. I never said I don’t lose my rag at all either; I have had plenty of things to be angry about but have learned that I don’t take it out on friends or people close to me. Its not acceptable in normal society and its not acceptable online.

If you really get that angry and are genuinely unwell I understand that – but then its a case of avoiding the unneeded stressful situations – such as being in a needless argument on line…. perhaps spend some time doing something else like your art or videos?

If you kicked off at random people, particularly customers/service users in any other organisation or job because of your depression you would at least be challenged for it, and moved away from dealing with people, or in some cases actually removed from the organisation however right-on it may be.

I can’t really be bothered to carry on this “discussion” any more – its up to you now how you proceed both here and in wider life…

idiots like angel who are only here cos we dont tell em to fuck off. you think she gives a fuck about raves? pull the other one, its got bells on.

What the hell have I ever done to you..

Why are you such an asshole?

You say moderators don’t dare to say anything because they are afraid of being kicked out..

Would rather say that I don’t dare to post anything because if you don’t agree with me you just edit my post

I care about people USE.I think I have just as much right to be here as you have,you’r no better than me just because you go to raves,have problems,takes drugs,fight for free parties or whatever.I don’t give a fuck

I talk nice to my friends,always try and make them feel good about what they are doing,listen to their problems,kick their ass if it needs to be kicked,trying very hard to be a positive person and not talk bad about anybody..

I have fucking problems too..But I don’t let my frustrations out on other members..

I have never felt that i was a part of the bigger picture here,but i have never been told to leave,why?

Don’t you think anybody dare to tell me..

Or maybe they are afraid i’ll make a scene if im kicked out..

Drama queen :groucho:

I think you’r important here,I think I’m important here,just in a different way..

There should be room enought for us all,no matter what reason we are here for..

A good friend who is an old raver,and a member here,told me about Partyvibe..Because he ment that I needed this place:hopeless:(His words)

I just fell in love with the people,the spirit,the music a lot of things,cant really explain..

Can’t imagine not being here..

Then you should post some more and give us your oppinion about things..But

there are no need to be nasty or make other people feel stupid..

There are a lot of younger people here who don’t know more about raves than me..

Educate us

Do what you do best..But don’t talk down to us,nobody like that..And neither do you
