nonchallance I agree with you that it is totally tiresome to see the same comments about Adam like he is an unfallible being, really like a god, on youtubes, and under writeups and even on Queen forums. He is a beast of a man, and I adore him to bits. But he is still that, 'just' a man. I love reading people's praise and feelings about him, but there is a fine line between treasuring and worshipping. And sometimes the way in which that line gets crossed makes me feel uncomfortable. Now let's get those 'Adam is awesome' comments going, because like I said, there is nothing better than to read about the good things in life. And I definitely count Adam as a good thing in life. Thank you. Thank you for understanding what I wanted to say. I understood, nonchallance, sweetheart. Admiring the man for his wonderful talents is a lovely thing, but worshipping someone...like some god, like no one can even come close, like we are all plebs in comparison...no, that's too weird..Don't worry, your opinion is welcome here...

Whoa!!! I step away from the computer for the afternoon. Three hours later, I check in to see 4 new pages! Oh rapturous joy! We have more pics and news about Adam's X Factor gig!
Imagine my surprise to see most of the posts are about..... I am not even sure how to describe it. What appeared to start as an off-hand, personal comment about fandoms and adoration morphed into a heated argument about what to post, what to say, how to be a fan. People being highly offended at comments. What is happening here, wonderful folks of ATop?
As a mod, how do you suggest I stop this runaway train and get us back on the tracks? Should I quote the rules? Admonish the members? Go back and start deleting posts in this topic? Leave it alone and hope things right themselves without intervention?
No, don't post advice for me in the thread, pleeeez. The question is largely rhetorical. For now, I would just like to post a couple of gentle reminders:
We are ALL here because we LOVE Adam. Anyone who doesn't and is trolling quickly gets identified and kicked out.
We all love Adam in our own way, for our own reasons. Our feelings are very personal and unique.
By joining this forum, we have all agreed to treat one another with respect and appreciation, keeping our comments golden and glittering.
Given the above facts, it is safe to assume that posts here are made with the best of intentions. Out of our joy in Adam. An occasional post may seem less than friendly, less than appreciative, but, in all likelihood, that is the result of our inability to express ourselves perfectly or interpret the expressions of others with 100% accuracy. (Easy to occur in the medium of internet comments.)
This place will be more golden and glittery if we all make that assumption while reading. (Even if it could possibly be wrong. Getting upset about a 100 word post from a total stranger is bad for the blood pressure, and accomplishes nothing.)
(If you truly feel attacked, please bring it to the attention of a mod privately. We will do our best to mediate privately.)

Keep smiling Patti Really? You are calling some our members here bastards because they have a slightly different point of view. Surely, that is not what you intended. Overreaction to a naturally flowing give and take conversation by the orginal poster and then you escalate it. The drift toward no discussion-only-lockstep-agreement posts allowed only has gotten to the point of there being very little community interaction left. Sad. I have deleted the poster, and I don't think that is what she meant when she posted it. It's an old saying meaning keep your chin up!! Peace!!Thanks Stardust - you're right on all counts
