MR

The silence from a certain party and his multiple personalities is thanks to you. I know how hard that can actually be Andrew and I wanted to say it publically....


THANK YOU!


Now back to your regularly scheduled posting....

I concur, but there are some new posts that are suspicious. We'll see it on the board again

I know! Some of them have been pro-Dennis! You know what THAT means!

Higgy,

There's a difference here. One, you have the freedom to like whomever you want. I like Dennis. I do. I like Dennis without Styx at this point in his career. I like Styx without Dennis. Both groups are playing music and having a good time doing so.

Multiple personality guy didn't care what others thought and constantly bashed people for their opinon. Therefore he made it unpleasant for others on this board.

Some might think that you are one of them, strangely enough I don't, but, I'm tired of trolls online.

Chris

Who are you talking about?

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. No one is bashing people because they are pro-DDY. Most of us actually like DDY at least musically, but when they come to a STYX BB/Forum and maliciously bash the Band, then you can expect most to be defensive and fight back.

And for the record, it doesn't matter who or what the troll says it likes or what side it's on. Rajah likes to create various online personas to see who he can fool. This is how he gets his rocks off, and yes, I am certain we'll see it again. I'm not convinced it doesn't already have existing screen names here. He has a loooong history of this, he's not going to stop now.

Thats because I AM Rajah! Everyone that thinks the new version of Styx was shitty to Dennis is Rajah.

And I don't think I've ever made a fuss about claims against Rajah. I've made a fuss about the Rajah witch hunt where you insinuate that everyone who doesn't agree with you is this person. For the record, since many of you don't understand sarcasm - I am not Rajah - but you all sure play into his hands - thinking anyone who isn't is your obvious club is this him. I imagine if he does what you say he does, he is feeling like he has won.

Higgy wrote:Everyone that thinks the new version of Styx was shitty to Dennis is Rajah.

You really think that opinion is Rajah's defining attribute as a poster?

Higgy wrote:And I don't think I've ever made a fuss about claims against Rajah.

Yes, you have. Repeatedly. You're doing it right now.

Higgy wrote:I imagine if he does what you say he does, he is feeling like he has won.

If you engage at all, he feels like he's won. That's how trolling works.

It's not the just the Styx sucks, Dennis is STyx montra, hell we have Froy for that. It's how you treat others. We all expect some to disagree with our points of view. IT is the ranting personal attacks that usually crosses the line.

Yup, that's it. You've figured me out. You're too smart to be Rajah.

Higgy,

Have you accused posters of disease and drug problems? Rajah/Dan did. If you want to incur the wrath of me and the entire board, then turn the discussion into personal attacks. If you want to defend Dennis, by all means do so. I love Dennis's music if not all of the things that go with Dennis being in a Rock and Roll band. I love Tommy and JY and the current version of Styx. I certainly don't agree with everything that Tommy and JY do and I don't agree with all of the promotion that they do. If you keep the discussion on the music and the issues the band encite, by all means take your shots. Don't lump yourself in with Rajah just to defend Dennis. Dennis deserves much, much more.

Defining Dan, errrrr Dee the Haberdasher, errrrr Rajah is easy: He adds nothingof value to the dialogue on this or any other board he's trolled over the years. In fact his participation usually has a negative effect.

Once again,

I am not defending Rajah or anything he has ever said, done, pretended to be, etc. I am guessing that most of his offenses were done in the past since most of what I have seen just consists of an angry DDY fan - but I don't read every thread. Once again, what I object to are all the insinuations that anyone who doesn't appreciate the new version of Styx is a sock puppet of this guy. Every new person that comes on this board that doesn't like new Styx is labelled as this.

Note to fans of new Styx : There are plenty of people who don't like it. Just like there are plenty of people who don't like what DDY has done. I, personally, like Styx from 1972-1983. I don't like the incarnations after that. I also didn't care all that much for DDY's solo stuff until "100 years" came out (which ranks up there, for me, with the best of classic Styx). I did like Hunchback - but as for his pop stuff - not my cup of tea. I have absolutely hated most of what has come out under the name "Styx" since the early '80s breakup. That includes EOTC and crap like "It Takes Love". That also includes this current line-up which I think is just sad. BUT... I aboslutely like the Shaw Blades stuff (and think Tommy is better served artistically in this format anyway).

So, in anycase, I should be at the Clearwater Florida DDY show if anyone wants to see if I really am Rajah.

I would say you are blowing this out of proportion. It was well suspected and now we know that Rajah was using different names. Whoever wrote that post about everyone being a personality of Rajah, was being sarcastic. I think that most of us here would rather discuss things and not go with the personal attacks that Rajah would put on everyone. Including the standard degredation of all things not Dennis.

Overall, we are a pretty tolerant bunch and have great appreciation for all members past and present. Of course, many have their favorite members or eras, but that is true of all bands. IF you go back to when 100 years was released, no one here trashed the album. Most had something positive to say about it, even when Dennis may not have been that persons cup of tea. There just isn't the ability to discuss things, when all one has to say is the band sucks, you suck, everyone but Dennis sucks. All here would agree with you that there are some people that don't like either camp. But the truth is there are many, like myself, that like both. And as Zan continues to say, we should all be grateful that they all appear to be in great health and we should be thankful that they are able to bring us some incarnation of the music.

Not just Zan that says it! LOL

(But yes, you got the general gist of it, NH)

By the way, Higgy...How would we know you aren't really Rajah? You're implying anyone knows who or what he really is, or that anyone has actually seen him before. LOL

You might want to re-think the uses of "anyone" and "every." Plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Oh, and there are folks who do like the current lineup who are also socks. Rajah likes to conjure up strawmen and argue with him/herself. As you surmise, it's a historical matter -- after a while, one begins to recognize the warning signs. (Not that it helps much.)

Back to the original premiss of this thread. The praise of Andrew, he is the man and puts up with a hell of alot to let us post here and I for one greatly appreciate his efforts. Keep up the good work. If Rush ever makes it to Aussie I'll see you in the land of wonder the land down under!

ANDREW YOU ROCK!!!

I guess, since apparently no one has ever even seen him before (!!!!), by that logic you could have created Rajah to argue with yourself!

Nah, my other personalities are much more entertaining that that no-sack sawed-off runt known as Rajah.
