Hey Children of the Earth and Paparazzi too !!!
Gonna make this a terribly quick one. Been getting tons of PM's about many people being concerned on WHERE and WHEN to draw the line on privacy...PM'ing etc. Actually probably not my business to write this...but heck, always looking for a good reason to say HELLO! = )~ Hard to kinda explain where those lines need to exactly be...but can give some good common sense advice from a fan of other artists and fellow human being. ALL people are different...celeb's and postmen alike...makes no difference...some people are outgoing, others like to shelter themselves a bit...to each their own...and all should equally be respected. You guys and gals say all kinds of stuff in the GD, and rightfully so....it's a place for you all to chat, vent and have some coffee....FREEDOM OF SPEECH RULES!!! Just be respectful of each other...I say "play nicely" for a reason....it's what WE do as people and as a band. Writing a nice letter to us is NOT a bad thing...just understand that each band member gets a good amount of mail and would be online for hours upon hours a DAY to keep up...so we try to check in here, posting, from time to time to say HEY! Doesn't mean we don't care or respond when we can...I know some of us do. Just all about timing. Remember, in YOUR busy lives, with children, family, work or whatever...it might be difficult for YOU all to respond to 100 letters a day...so just be patient...everyone does their best...and we just RESPECT each other. Ringing a doorbell? Probably not the BEST idea...kinda creepy when you DO know someone...let alone from a stranger. ::big smile:: That is probably a bit overboard. So that's all I can offer on the subject. If you feel someone has crossed the line...your free speech entitles you to say something...but try not to harshly judge people...understand we are all human...and all quite different. Some are more curious than others...but EACH person needs to know where to draw that line. Privacy is not so easily available for some...but emptiness is not always the best solution as well. Just be cool....and think how YOUR life would be in someone else's shoes. Works for me...should work for you all as well. Now let's have a group hug and some nice danish. = )~ ::making the coffee:: All love people of earth, Adam |

I know when someone violates my privacy It makes me angry.....Naturally being out in public and someone running up for an autograph is normal. They see you and know they may never a chance to get the autograph any other time so they run up and ask for it or a picture. But to follow someone home and ring the doorbell is CREEPY! I had a guy stalk me and It fraked me out and I'm still not over it and never will be.
I get angry easily sometimes over personal questions. I resent people sometimes that I probably shouldn't because of how being stalked effected me. It's best to always try and remember how you would feel If someone sneaked up on your family and hid in bushes or mailed letters to your home asking strange things, calling or threatening you. I cant imagine how tough It would be to be famous and not able to go eat a lunch without being mobbed by cameras. It's probably very scary at times. |
