Re: DavidT speaks about threat
Very measured, cool, and calm response.

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!
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.
Well, that's all right then.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.
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?
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.
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...

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 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.
