It should be an eye-opener to those of you who never seem to find anything positive to say: You are scaring away new readers! I am one of those who doesn't reply a lot, because it seems that the rule is "the worse, the better". I do get your point Quissaciously that you (all) see him as a kind of friend who you (all) can makes jokes on behalf of, but it often goes too far.

This is a fans forum. In a fan forum you would find positive and negative opinions. If new readers are not comfortable with the negative opinions, then a fan forum is not a place for them.

Simply as that.

I, too, feel that all the negativity posted on this forum could deter new members from joining, even though they say they are only joking!
Speaking for myself, a few days ago I joined this forum just because the jokes. I don't think I would have joined if it was a forum full of blind fanboys.
I like when people can joke on what they care about... Nothing will scratch my love for his music anyway

Not only positive opinions reflect our love by MK and DS, also the negative reflects that we care about MK/DS.

Just like a family :lol

A good point DS. Mark isn't your typical major star, who have a dedicated team to please every single of his fans. He's more like an independent artist and he's aimed to please himself first, so inevitably many people can't get what they want from MK the artist. I think at least he's aware of this setlist thing going as this topic is technically even banned on Guy's forum. So maybe we'll get somewhere eventually with the other topics as well.

I know the difference between a fanatic and a fan.

There is a joke about fanatics that says even MK farts smell like roses because we are fanatics and nothing from MK can't be bad or wrong  ;D :lol

We are mostly fans. Almost everybody that writes often have positive or negative opinions about this or that, would wish things could be different or accept how they are anyway.

This is like true love. Or true friendship.

We accept the good and the bad from an artist who really matters to us. And we can critisize if something goes wrong, and, of course, praise him if we feel touched.

The only problem here is that he doesn´t care about that, and only cares for us giving what he thinks is the best and a bunch of first rows places for us in his tours.

But we are still friends and lovers by accepting this role.

Valentine's Day´s comming!!!! ;D

Thanks lot..so, am I a lady too or just an fanatic? I have met Mark more than once and will never claim he is some kind of God. I ask for the same as you SuperVal ; balance.

Balance...

Balance has positive at one side and negative at the other side. The amount of positive and negative doesn't depend on us but on what MK does or doesn't realted to what we would like  ;D

In my mind Lady only have positive meaning, like if someone called me gentleman (that wouldn't happen anyway, LOL)

In the positive side, a new tour is a chance to see again my favourite musical and meet many of you again.

In the negative side, moaning about the same setlists etc etc

Both are because we like MK and we care about what he does  ;D

For criticless MK worshipping this was never they right place. MKNews was. People who newly come here have to decide if they like it or not. People who are already discussing here (male or female) should NOT have to do it under the premise that they have to keep this a bubbleworld PC comform place just because of any potential new members that will register maybe or not.
