Article: "Morrissey Fansite Founder Responds to Alleged Threats" - Yahoo Music; Statement and TMZ Li

Re: DavidT speaks about threat

I just don't think any of this is true. No. I don't know that for certain - it's just my opinion. If he was going to have David killed, he would have had it done already. Years ago. Yes, he sings about danger and he loves to imagine himself as the Mozfather and all that, but in reality, Morrissey is a singer who lives a very solitary and quiet life. In short, Morrissey Did Not Put the M In Murder...

This whole thing is just so...absurd. And weird.

Re: DavidT speaks about threat

Thanks for posting the link. Earlier today I talked to some media (TMZ Live and my previous employer Yahoo Music) briefly about this site and the security guard lawsuit, which was first published on TMZ. I appreciate everyone's concern. I don't know any details about the actual incidents that may have taken place.



UPDATE July 31:
TMZ Live video link is up. Link posted by Vu. Morrissey-related clip edited by Vu (26 MB, mv4)

I take it from David T's quotes that he believes it to be true - "now that the word is out, it’s probably less likely, but I’m still going to be careful now.”

"I don't know any details about the actual incidents that may have taken place". Alleged incidents, surely.
 
It's not about freedom of speech. I'm all for it, as any sane person would be, although this site could do with some moderation.
What is troubling Morrissey, and any real fan, is David's conscious decision to put gossip like 'has Morrissey paid his live crew?' or, more recently, 'does Morrissey have aids?' to appear on the main page. Appalling, really appalling!
 
Re: DavidT speaks about threat

Of the thousands of articles posted on the site, you chose two articles (one posted over 10 years ago), are there any other examples to make your case a bit stronger?

DavidT seems to come off like a class act in this interview.

And thus is the price some of us pay to be Morrissey fans. Some of us lose travel fare and ticket costs. Others get our lives threatened. Yet we stick around to see what happens next.

And so it goes...

No one was ever going to get "killed" as you put it. I'd wager Morrissey and his Tour Manager just wanted to rough David up a bit... send a message as they used to say.

Well, that's all right then.

I don't have a case, so there is no need. I just think it should be below a fan site to spread vile gossip.
Without the gossip, and with a bit of moderation on the abusive (and mostly anonymous) postings, this could actually be a great site.

Yes if you just copy and paste that one sentence it does read as if he feels there may be some validity to the claims but in his first quote he says "if it's true". There's a big difference. I don't think the vagueness of DavidT's comments are going to help the situation but I'd put that down to being somewhat rattled as we all would be seeing this news whether it was BS or not, which it obviously is.... unless as Mozzer says you are actually insane.

For your life to be threatened you actually have to have received a threat.

re your next post. How much are you willing to wager?
 
I can totally understand why morrissey doesn't like davidT, the tone of DavidT,s response is as if he believes the story is true, he's just stirring the shit as usual, as far as I'm concerned he's no real morrissey fan

I agree with you. Why would he want David T beaten up? It makes no sense! As I said on another thread, if this was Morrissey's modus operandi Mike Joyce would have been found dead in a ditch years ago.

Doesn't matter, you still posted them. That's like if you went and punched 2 people in the back of the head and then said "but what about all those thousands of times I didn't punch people!"

Well, as a general rule, if you don't agree with what's going on here, feel free to leave
