The last I looked, it was now the RGGoggin Message Board. He has decreed that all underwear must now be worn over your outer clothing and must make his Myspace their home site. Anyone who disagrees with his edict is an ignoramus and doesn't know anything about music.

Man, things are getting mighty ugly over on the RDF. How can one, maybe two people create such rancor? I really want to tear into RF... I did once when he first came around... it didn't feel right afterwards... I helped spread the negativity. Since then I have been ignoring him. I still believe that if EVERYONE ignored him he would go away, but people persist in giving him fodder for more antagonistic lunacy.
We can't give up our board like that. Even if it's going to fold in around us eventually.
A couple of bombshell posts were dropped by a certain someone today. With that information I guess allegiences are supposed to be formed. I think that should be ignored as well. Otherwise we going to lose the whole community. Not everyone is going to make it to this site... well, maybe if they have to they will. Oh well, nevermind... it's just an internet forum, right?

Here's part of a message I wrote to someone earlier on the RD forum:
We do have a good thing here I think. There is no way one person should take over or ruin things here unless we let him. Let's try to be positive and also ignore him. Maybe I'm being foolish or naive but there is no reason one person, especially if they only post on one or two topics should have so much influence on us. The only influence he has is in relation to how we react or don't react. Trolls and nuts are everywhere and there is nothing stopping him from moving in and posting on any other or a new forum. And he has been known to move from one Kinks related forum to another. I really want this to work and I think we can all make it work and have this place be the fun and positive place we've known it to be.
So the above is my opinion and wish.

Be that as it may -- It is NOT a part of the OFFICIAL Ray Davies anything. The Official RD site is gone, for obvious reasons that continue to be ground into the members that are still posting there. The Administrator has allowed this to happen and his motives seem to be pretty clear. One of the reasons i stopped working for Ray, and have severed my relationship with him, is that i became sick of his manipulation and the way he treats people - the lies. Dave deserves everyone`s thanks for putting up with this malignant narcissism, giving his love to his brother and help keep him and the Kinks going all those years. In the words of John Lennon "How do you sleep?" Gossip on the Internet. Using Ray's own FORUM, with a captive audience, to air his dirty laundry, is unforgivable. I for one, want NO part of that negativity in any way. Obviously Mr. RD Davies doesn't either or he wouldn't have pulled his OWN site. s. iles

The slander cited above stopped me in my tracks today. I agree that if we had ignored RF he would have gone away, but this is harder to ignore. I hope that we can stay together as a community. If Martin wants to wage a war of hate, I'm not sure that his battlefield is a good place for the community, and I say this with tremendous sadness. The board is a second home to me, but it's also become a weapon against Ray. I am trying to think of this board as a fresh start. It is my sincere wish that it will be. Peace, Love and Understanding, Nic

Amen.
I haven't been on the RDDForum today so I don't know what went on, but if Martin posted that remark publicly, then I choose to sever myself from any site he controls. And he does control it.
I thought it was odd that Martin would welcome Pariahdise back. Apparently he knew perfectly well the sort of festering hate RFG would stir up -- and Martin embraced it. So I have done with them. I am a RayDavies fan to the death, and I want nothing do with haters and schemers who wish Ray ill.
Thank God we have found a safe haven here. I bless the light that shines on Mia for scouting this refuge out for us.
Most of the RDD forumers I really care about are here already -- but I worry that others we DON'T want may follow. To prevent that, can we agree not to post the link to here on the Gray Forum? I intend to privately email the link to several I'd like to see join us -- but even PMs don't seem safe over there any more.
Yeah, I know it's just an internet forum. But it has been a sort of lifeline for me over the past year and a half and I'd like to preserve as much of it as we can.

Emails are a great idea. Even people with private addys probably correspond with people here. I'll bet we could get the word out in no time.

Color Me Stupid I'm going to try and sleep Sorry DB.. I didn't mean that "How do you Sleep" statement towards YOU! I wasn't clear enough. Hopefully with my edit it is more clearly aimed elsewhere?

pariahdise has been around for a long time on the RDF. He comes and goes and always leaves a stink. Some of you already know not to engage him because you've learned, from difficult experience, that reasoning with a drunk is impossible. Some of the rest of you were warned about him through back-channels and heeded that warning. The rest of you are learning the hard way.
The only way to deal with him and his kind is to ignore them. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
If you want to take the RDF back, then you must all decide to do just that.
No exceptions for any reason.
Eventually, he'll go away.
Eventually, he'll return - and when he does:
Ignore him. Do not acknowlege him. Do not include him in your conversations. Do not make any references to him.
Sorry, but it's the only way.
Until he gets himself into AA or some other kind of program, he'll be nothing to the RDF but a trouble-maker and a spirit-breaker and a psycho-sucker.
Mark my words - and heed them.
