For the sake of space and time I kept out extra words & repeats. But I kept in the main point of every post.

If one chooses to venture onto a message board and post, one should take the trouble to inform oneself as to the nature of the threads…
Me
...I tried to explain why it wasn't that simple, I was...told, "Yes it is.”...
WalshFan88
...we've made it pretty clear Arlee which thread is for what...before you post it's a good idea to find out what the thread is about.
Me
There is no reason for you to be arguing...You have a different perspective.
Me
...it would be helpful if the "anti- 3." people...accept that they [will] continue to see posts from folks who don't agree and are a bit rattled by what they read here....We're not going to change each others' minds, but it would be helpful to accept that…
WalshFan88
...we don't need to accept anything. There is nothing wrong with anything we've said…
Me
… In a debate of this length, there will be "something wrong" said by people from all sides.
WalshFan88
Maybe it's time that pro-3.0 people learn how to act like adults and discuss it without insulting other members…

... Saying that personal attacks on board members are not allowed like the ones Carolyn made and that the pro-3.0 side needs to stop making them is "inane immaturity". You might want to familiarize yourself with the board rules, Arlee... I'm really taken aback by the fact that you are trying to justify the attacks made here.
Me
I never said anything close to this….whatever debate you've got going with Carolyn is not my concern.
WalshFan88
...When I said we don't have to accept anything I meant we don't have to accept the nasty posts....
Me
I stated it would be easier if people would accept that people will disagree. Your response: "I don't have to accept anything."
I've repeatedly said there is no point in arguing certain things…..we won't change minds….we have differing opinions.

….I personally don't know what Glenn Frey would want or what he said….Has it occurred to anyone that if Glenn were truly against this, he would have made legal arrangements….He was prepared.... Henley and Frey learned a lot .... By 2015 I'm sure they had made the plans they wanted for the band.
Sodascouts
...we've all been able to find reasons to either believe Glenn's comments still hold true or dismiss what he said
Me
…I haven't seen any earlier of mention what I just brought up ...I'm not trying to convince anyone...I just hadn't thought of the legalities & the will before….
Sodascouts
...So saying OF COURSE he would have, when NO ONE ever has, is quite a leap.
Me
...I've made it very clear that I don't know….. I've used words like "probably" and "likely" and "I think"..... I also said "I'm not going to argue or pretend I know for sure what Glenn wanted."
The Eagles is a business that has legally been fought for and fought about ... It continues to make money… seems unlikely he wouldn't put anything...in his will. ...Glenn left everything to his wife and she's the executor…that might include his earnings and future earnings...his wishes for his...stake, etc
WalshFan88
….I think there is some grasping for straws at this point in trying to justify them moving on without Glenn.
Me
No. That has nothing to do with what I said. No...I kept trying stick to the actual topic --- one that I thought was fairly innocuous. But no...You have to deflect with false accusations.
Suggesting that he may have put something in his will regarding the Eagles is fair, legitimate…I couldn't possibly see as being controversial … You've once again successfully chased away another idea and opinion you didn't like...
WalshFan88
….please do us all a favor and save the drama for your mama!
Me
I point out that you deflect and chase away opinions you don't like, and your response is that I'm being dramatic…
I've Always Been a Dreamer
On this board we try to be tolerant of all opinions, as long as they are respectful and substantiated.... confrontational types of discussion inevitably boils down to the same things – disrespect for others opinions, misunderstanding or misrepresenting your's or other’s opinions, and personal attacks on members. ….
Me
….I was going to respond "Amen, thank God someone said it."
But then I saw it was directed at me:
I've Always Been a Dreamer
Arlee, unfortunately, many of your posts fall into this category. If all you have to contribute to the board is to be combative and insulting to other members, then perhaps this isn’t the right place for you.
Me
That isn't true about any of my posts….
With this recent issue, I made a simple, innocuous statement....
I was accused of grasping at straws to justify the new line up. I was also told I'm dramatic because I said people were deflecting....considering your post to me, how is that OK?
------------------
Ok, Arlee in the present here. That's more than enough proof. Despite what's been said, I've stayed on topic and was careful with my words to avoid offending. That didn't do any good.
Accusations fly and there is no proof and no consequences.
The last post by “I've Always Been a Dreamer” is over the line. It's outrageous, insulting, and outright lies. There was nothing to back it up.
It's noteworthy that in these posts, I wasn't even arguing about the new line up being ok or why they should be accepted, etc. I don't see why people wanted to argue. As I said, those posts were innocuous.
This is an anti- new line-up board. I think the mods should just admit that and stop the false claim that all opinions are respected and tolerated here. They clearly are not.
