Why does Morrissey not support this site?

[Jamesspm]

Sorry if this has been raised before, but...

Morrissey has always supported the true-to-you.net site. Why not Solo?

Personally, I think it's cos true-to-you only posts stuff about Morrissey and not anything about Marr, Joyce and Rourke. Search it, you'll only find their names in the "Statement/Message from Morrissey" posts.

Should Solo (as it's name suggests) only post information about Morrissey and bugger the rest?

Noooooo.....it's got to do with the lack of control of what gets posted. No one is able to criticize Morrissey, call him names, or make crude sexual jokes about him on TTY. Here it's a free-for-all, and Morrissey would rather be just blindly loved.

(I heard there was some other political stuff too, but I missed it and don't really know what all went on.)

[SweetFA]

The bootlegs section isn't going to be very popular with him is it?

Why would you want to "criticize Morrissey, call him names, or make crude sexual jokes about him"? The guy's a fucking genius who has touched, affected and changed your life forever for the better. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[Bluebirds]

He used to. When he didn't have a record deal and he was in danger of being relegated to Little Man What Now status. "Yes I love the site, I don't visit it myself."

I don't, but a quick browse of threads around here will reveal that there are some people who seem to enjoy it immensely.

I don't understand this mentality. Why, why, why! would anyone (who calls themselves a "friend") insult Morrissey in ANY way?

[DAVIE]

Probably because they aren't....saying that, I've said that I've disliked many Morrissey songs, but still I'm a fan (mainly of The Smiths though)

Me too.

Also i don't agree with everything Morrissey says.

Sorry Morrissey but I doubt you will ever stop me from eating bacon butties, sausage baps and chicken drumsticks...

because he acts like a twat an increasingly large amount of the time.
this forum allows for open, and often critical, discussion.
if you don't like hearing Morrissey receive criticism, there are other sites.
Allyouneedismorrissey.com was set up (I think) to be a more positive site.

I'll be festively slicing turkey on Saturday.

And i don't agree with him that the Chinese are a "sub-species" either.

And i don't think Mike Joyce did anything wrong and i feel sorry for Rourke for settling out of court and losing a million quid in the process.

No..i don't have one and it's not shameful of me....

[Mozza220559]

Some people on this site don't feel the need to tongue his a-hole every 5 minutes, I used to think Morrissey was perfect, his music is perfect and I used to defend him to the hilt, now I've grown up enough to be able to critize and highlight some of his bad points, he's not perfect, he's just a human, and yes I still love his music and what he stands for

[I am a Ghost]

"Thus, one must take care to side-step the rabid, mythological stampede of one’s own zealots and, indeed, the forum cannibals who are a species best left to their own gnashing, circular idiocies. The latter are not fans, they are people who cry out for euthanasia."

[Harsh Truth]

I don't have it either. Every time I consider purchasing it, I see that bloody awful cover and quickly put it out of mind for another couple months.

This thread has put me in a crappy mood. Grudges are ugly, I have a friend who holds them and they are just ugly, pointless, wastes of energy. Robby made what I hope is the smartest assesment on that thread that Morrissey has trust issues. To get to the bottom of explaining that is a nightmare of "you wouldn't believe it if I made movies to explain it," I'm assuming, but maybe not. I dunno. Maybe he's just crabby.

Bleh. Head cold and being lied to isn't helping either.

[Spinster]

I speculate that Morrissey has a love/hate relationship with this website.

Kewpie, go fuck yourself you pig. If we wanted to look in another thread, we would.

Anyways, to answer the original poster's question, why would celebrities want to read Internet forums where people who know nothing about them discuss every aspect (real or imagined) of his past, present, and future? Now THAT would be pathetic.

TTY.net is his official mouthpiece. That's why he uses it.

[MuteWitness616]

Maybe this is the reason..

But it's probably because most of the users here are greedy and happy and have the strength to go on the internet and make friends and talk..

Do you guys really cry and want to die?
Are you guys the end of the family line?



If you visit this website, and just look at it.. just look at it..

Yes, but people can disagree with what Moz says without being a complete prick about it.
Some of the things that are said about him on here are quite disgusting, really.

:)Correct grammar version:Wystarczy spojrzeć na pare wątków żeby wiedzieć dlaczego.To forum jest pełne debili,którzy piszą te wredne,pełne nienawiści wpisy o Morrisseyu(n.p.ten idiota Barking)ale kiedy to jest o nich,wtedy nagle zaczynaja być tacy wrażliwi,i beda cię pouczać o etykiecie,dobroci i dobrych manierach.
Hehe!

[Kewpie]

Well its enough to read a few threads to know why.This forum is full of stupid morons and haters,they write those nasty hateful posts about Morrissey(e.g.this idiot Barking)but when its about them,then they suddenly become so sensitive,and will lecture you on etiquette,kindness and good manners.

You have nothing better than bumping this thread which had been buried a month.

How do you know Barking is an idiot?

Very sad to see you don't understand her lovely sense of humour.

Barking's English (wording, punctuations etc) is hundred million times better than yours.

Go back to the school and learn to write English properly before you start picking a fight.

There hasn't been threads that weren't awful and stupid around here since 2007. Lol. Morrissey is partially to blame for that...

hey James, how do you feel about how this thread has gone? :p

[SparkleBoy]

This thread is the perfect example of why Moz would never visit, let alone support, this site. Just a bunch of people goofing around. Not to mention the category full of bootleg shows.

Moz probably glimpses the serious Moz blogs with a lot to say. People like Kewpie destryed this site many, many years ago.

[Kewpie]

What have I done to destroy the site?

You are one of the minority users who have totally forgotten about the purpose of the forums and keep slagging me off.

[Karl Pilkington]

Are there any serious blogs online? You're always going to get your fair share of supporters and people who hate you. Surely after 25 years he knows this. He must visit this site regularly enough (most people would do the same!). The die-hard maniacs must piss him off as much as the ones who slag him off. He probably doesn't care about either. Too right.

I've been here about a month so far, you are quite rude to people. And there are lots of complaints about you. It doesn't bother me that much because I don't interact with people I don't get on with, but there is a negativity about you on here that is really awkward for new posters.

Lots of complaints?
Can you give me the examples?

We have about 820 active users at the moment, 99% of them hardly criticise me.

I have not interacted with Sparkleboy who keeps complaining about me, but never explained the reason.

I remember only three people keep complaining about me in last four weeks, yet they haven't made any positive contributions to the forums.
They only come here to complain about me when they find something they don't like.

[Raphael Lambach]

I do forget that some rules from this forum should be reviewed and revisited. We don't have too many subject as when Morrissey is touring or making new stuff, then loads of users are concentrated in breaking the rules or offending people or even writing stupid posts and threads. My favorite thread is "Collectors corner" by now. I know I'm not better than anyone here but it's necessary to be said and I've done it now. Of course, I'm not criticizing anyone in special.

I know I was rude times ago but now my attitudes are shifted.

I'm not getting drawn into any feuds. I'm not here to quote examples of people who don't like you. It just seems that when you comment on anything, people criticise you and it doesn't happen with other people - that's why it stands out. And you seem quite.. unfriendly.
But as I said, I'm not getting involved in any feuds. Sorry if I upset you, just calling it as I see it.

Anyways, I just want to reiterate that Kewpie use to be much worse, all of you who h8 her now should be aware of that. :o
Secondly, many who formerly complained about her either have since been banned or moved on, I mean, she is an easy target. :straightface:
Thirdly, well, I really do not have a thirdly. :p
