RE: Robert Marshal

I rather think that by giving this guy a response we are only giving him what he wants;  this is probably his "hit," if you like and the best way to deal with the situation is to not give the man another thought.

In general, if abstract away from particulars, all this crap is nothing else but the reverse of the medal of popularity.

But I came with the good news, a little bird told me  that every psychiatrist knows the simple truth, which states that the paranoid delusion is not subject to any overpersuasion.

Although I agree with your intentions and have sympathy for your initiative, I'd forget, firstly because a lifetime would not be enough to fight all the lies and the rubbish that can be found on the internet and secondly because there are people paid a lot of money to protect the name and the rights of Mark. Indifference and anonymity, in my opinion, are the best ways to hurt a clown like this

Today I came across this site >>  http://straitjacketmusic.co.uk/
What say?  A lunatic? One frustrated man, any chance of reasons?

[Brunno Nunes]

Look at all his publications, will be that Mark, John and David Pick know this guy?

I must say this guy's blog is priceless but he did say something that rang true with me:

"What on earth was Guy Fletcher thinking when he commented on his blog, that he would be glad to see the end of the Dire Straits fans going to the Mark Knopfler gigs.

Those fans are the very reason he is still standing on a stage and still getting paid for it, so Guy get a grip mate before you get some foul thing thrown at you, or get back to sorting bikes."

 

So he does go to the gigs then...

I'm with Rudiger on this.

Agree 100%

It was on his forum about 2 or 3 months ago now.  Maybe someone with a memory can give a more precise answer!

[LoveExpresso]

Well, I found it:

"Thanks Hazel, yes the die-hards are disappearing fast, thank goodness." was what he said to Hazel. And this is a part of the question:

"Doc, you said in one of your early diary entries for the European tour that audiences had evolved along with the band, and I believe that

I bet this 'strange' character (a typical 'Rudiger' by what he writes) would love the thought of him causing a bit of friction on this the wonderful MK forum!!
 
How about we close this thread and move on to more interesting items?!

I will not have anything said about Guy personally!

[dmg]

I agree, let's not say anything personal about Guy or Mr Marshal.  It's just not nice.  I just took great exception to what Guy said on that occasion and won't forget it.

I also agree Knopflerfan that we should close this topic because this will no doubt be giving the aforementioned Mr Marshal the thrill of his life!

DMG, I'm sure Guy didn't mean it as you perhaps interpret it, I personally take the comment from Guy to mean that with regards to Dire Straits - 'that was then, this is now'

Personally, along that theme I got really Pi**ed off when at Brighton after the 'charging of the bulls' when a rather drunk lady kept shouting 'Walk of Life' in mine and Ingrid's ears to which I simply replied 'Move on'!

I and Mandy are personally grateful for whatever Mark plays these days as we feel very lucky to be on this journey with such brilliant musicians and also fantastic fans/friends too......
(That includes you too DMG! - How else will you get your water bottles open otherwise??!!!)
