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

Yes I am aware of that but davidT still has not been threatened. Granted it's not something you want to hear, but a post on TMZ where some guy says some other guy asked him to rub someone out is not a threat on your life. If he actually was threatened believe me he would know about it and there would be no grey area.
Wow! This is much more fun that boring old music.
Let us wish for a thickening of plot.
You don't have to be informed you are being threatened. There are plenty of people in hospitals and cemeteries who didn't know someone was out to get them.
Morrissey's ludicrous statement yesterday, essentially "Yes, I hate David Tseng but not that much." hardly helps. It wasn't far off "I have never met Bradley Steyn but when I did it was in the presence of my attorney." If a photograph comes to light of Morrissey and Steyn together that might prove interesting.
I very much doubt David is, or ever was, in great jeopardy, but when someone as plainly odd as Morrissey is said to have made threats it would be silly not to seek some rudimentary legal safeguards. Davidt would be absolutely justified in contacting both the police and an attorney.
I'd want a letter from both Morrissey and Knutsen formally denying these claims. A typically sneering passive/aggressive TTY statement doesn't really cut it.
First it was Tupac. Then Biggie. Now they're going after T-Seng? Things have really gotten out of hand.
There's no way I can be bothered to read all these pages and pages of posts across multiple threads, and I don't really want to, but I've got to say, this is an awfully bizarre story to be greeted with on solo this morning...
I don't think I have anything more to say about it, except that I am thoroughly bemused and discouraged by all of the crap flooding out in response to it from all sides.
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.
Your last two posts really hit the nail on the head and the lengthy reply I am struggling to find time to write is unneccessary.
I really do wonder why the people who continue to perpetuate character assassination against Morrissey continue to come here.
If Morrissey were as reprehensible as so many of the thread responses I read on this site make out, then I would feel no pull to the music or Morrissey-Solo.
I'm going to try to simplify it for you as if you were a 5-year-old...
There. Were. Never. Plans. For. Murder. I've repeated that several times, probably a couple times in this very thread.
My claim is that there must be some validity to the security guard's claim that DavidT was on Morrissey's radar BECAUSE 1) Morrissey circulated DavidT's photo to the crew the night of the Santa Ana show (who does that? who spends the time and energy looking for one person of thousands to punish them? and 2) DavidT was eventually spotted and was asked to leave.
This all proves that there was discussion of DavidT between Morrissey and at least one other person. What that discussion was about will be sorted out by lawyers and all parties involved.
But what will probably happen is Morrissey will settle out of court because he doesn't want the sorted details to leak and there will be several non-disclosure agreements signed. And we'll never hear from this again. Just like all of the other allegations that have been brought up in the past.
I agree. Why would anybody want to post at the website of an artist they don't like? A Morrissey fan saying that they like Morrissey's album on a Morrissey site shouldn't be abused and called an idiot! Criticism is fine, especially constructive criticism from Solo members of the more cogent kind, but Hagarta and Louse, for example, cross the line into crude personal abuse.
And you're a f***ing moron. What's your point?
If I were in Mr Tseng’s shoes, I’d LOL and await the inevitable song which will enshrine this preposterous affair for posterity.
There were no quotes in the TMZ report other than the verbiage taken from the filed court documents which are available to the public.
Have I missed something here? Have there actually been any filed court documents released? I didn't see anything in the TMZ article (or in any of the dozen or so "news" articles I read that subsequently picked up the TMZ story) that indicated any such documents had been seen or that they were being quoted directly. They're quite vague about the source, in fact, saying "so claims the bodyguard in a new lawsuit," and then waffling about what the threat allegedly was and who is even being accused of having made it.
If such court documents do in fact exist and if they have been released to the public, I'd love to see them.
Seconded.
