I could name names but there is one particular person who cloaks their criticism in "humor" and it's accepted here carte blanche.
It's funny how the same people who criticize anything said positively about Dennis either blatantly or subtly with backhanded compliments... at the same time view any criticism of the current line-up as unacceptable.

Many has been the time that I've said I won't post here again. Each time, it gets harder to continue to post.
The very aspects of the band that we all like/liked are what drive us apart now. The very definition of the band is up for grabs for some people here. We collectively have gone out of our way to rush to judgment at what people actually mean by what they post. And I've yet to see a case where anyone has changed their minds for the long haul.
I would like to say we accept each other as we are, but too often, too many players get caught up in the challenge of proving someone wrong...myself included.
Emotions and personal belief systems are funny that way I suppose.
Would that it would change...

Its obvious who the followers are
This current lineup could sing Barney songs and the same followers will come on the board and say how great this STYX band is
They can do no wrong as long as it 's Tommy and Jimmy in the band and the name say's STYX , If this band did not have the STYX name to use all of this would be meaningless, It would mean STYX broke up which all the leaders have known for 6 years .

Ash, don't go yet. Just take a breather or something. It happens to all of us at some point. It's all good.

So what you are saying is,,,Dennis is your leader and you are his follower.
No what I am saying is Dennis is the leader of Styx not Shaw and Young and without him in the band there is nothing to follow

If you can't do anything besides say "Larry sucks" or "Dennis Sucks" or "Tom and Jim Suck" or "Carot Styx suck" or "Orchestras suck" or "covers suck" or "broadway sucks" or any of the 23147983247598043 other types of two word responses that get posted here, then you're not really contributing anything to this forum but bitterness and hatred - which I think a lot of people are getting tired of.

Hey Froy, don't YOU ever get tired of it ?
If you can't do anything besides say "Larry sucks"
or "Dennis Sucks"
or "Tom and Jim Suck"
then you're not really contributing anything to this forum but bitterness and hatred - which I think a lot of people are getting tired of.
So - all of this to ask if we could please just give the bullshit a rest? We all know where the other stands - we're not going to "convince" eachother anymore.... can we move the hell on?
No we cannot move on
I won't let anyone forget what the 2 band members did to STYX
Never ever .
Way cool , this board (as I suspected) is made of of a bunch of intelligent , passionate and very real people with lives outside of this board. I have seen the ebb and flow of fun and anger , jerks and freaks but basically I love you all .
