Clarifi-guilder-cation
I believe some eZabel members may be under the false impression that the person behind "Guilderbellsuck" may actually be some member of Guilderbell trying to be cute.
That could not be further from the truth.
We do not even find it amusing that some has chosen to defame our name, and we also find it highly inappropriate.
I just wanted to clarify this for everyone, and if you didn't know, now you do.
Thanks,
the playground

You didn't once use the elipse..I'm ashamed.
I'm so sorry . . . I don't know what I was thinking. But actually, I was in an extremely serious mood for this, and I didn't want to trivialize the message with unnecessary incomplete thoughts . . .
you're the only person i know who puts spaces before and after the elipsis.
hey - hilldan - look it up. it's proper APA format. (i know 'cause they taught me so in school)
liz does that too
YEAH!
i totally support this journal... i don't think its right that some one is able to make a user name that offends some one else... i think that we all know how to take a joke, but since some one actully from the band is saying that they find it inappropriate, it is obviously not funny... if i were to make a user name saying "ian zabel sucks" and meant it to be not joking, i would be banned... so how is this any different?
make it a poll or something
maybe i WILL! hmph!
a poll, ian? you mean whether or not a user name created to insult a group of people should be banned? do you really need a poll for that?
get over it and get a sense of humor. people have opinions....not EVERYONE is goign to like your music... thats what being part of a band is all about...so... yea.
I don't care if people don't like my music, that's fine. But making a user name called saying my band sucks for all to see is something else. I have a sense of humor, believe me - otherwise I wouldn't be a very good playground. But there are things you do, and things you don't.
is this the Guilderbell website... no... if it were then i can see you would have a point...but its not... oh well...
so you wouldn't care if i had a user name that said tinasucks?, and I went posting all day in journals using it, even if i'm not really referring to you in any of them? because the thing is, that user name may APPEAR to be referring to our music, but it really refers to the members of the band.
no go ahead... ill laugh. HEHEHAHAHOHO
i'm sure if someone came on here with a name defaming your boyfriends musical endoevers you'd be outraged! walkingplayground is my boyfriend and i am outraged.
actually if you check in one of the times i posted something about the walk home... someone said "that his music makes them want to shoot themselves" which... i said something like... we all have opinion but...thats mean.. i didnt tell them to take their comment out. so youre not so sure anymore.
comments come and go, kiddo. malicious user-names pop up quite a bit, don't they?
PLUS the fact...he can dish it out but he cant take it...ive heard about some pretty messed up things he's said...so...im kinda in agreement with my friend Guilderbellsuck's name.
oh wait... i just realized something... youre gay?
good eye, tween. that was a joke though.
/faqs/75
so . . . does that mean if YOU don't find it offensive then you won't get rid of it?
That's kinda what we're debating here.
See, the problem is a little something called the 1st Ammendment. Free Speech. Guilderbellsuck certainly has the right to say whatever he wants. That's just a part of life. He can go around saying that your band sucks all he wants, and there's nothing you can do about it. Cause it's his opinion. And he has the right to express it.
Now, whether or not I want that opinion expressed on my website is an entirely different matter, especially when viewed from a Christian's perspective.
check my post in the forum addressing this matter. decent arguement?
RIGHT ON IAN! That's just one person's opinion. You can't change that nor take offense. That doesn't mean EVERYONE thinks that. Take it lightly. Its like us being witnesses. So many hate us, call us mames, but that's their opinion. Does that mean we are what they call us? NOOO. Take it as a grain of salt. Actually your bands name is being seen more and more when this person logs on so it's actually giving you a little publicity and maybe making some curious to check yu out. Like i'm curious...
all these comments are GAY
ooooooooooo . . . isn't that supposed to say "ghey"?
nooo YOURE GAY!
oh yea, well you BOTH LOOOK gay, awwwww schhhhhnaznappp...
schnapps?
thirsty?
yes, mint please, haha
rumpleminz?
o man.. that stuff is SO good!
i know. i might start using it as mouth wash. expensive mouth wash.
First off Brian, don't make me lecture you on mouthwash. Secondly Yodasucka, are you old enough to be drinking that stuff? For shame. Haha.
yo did i ever bring you rumplemintz mints from work??
uh.. nope
man those things are potent
NO YOU ARE!!
if you are upset b/c this person is misrepresenting the band, i can understand. he says some pretty inappropriate things and i wouldn't want those things to be associated w/ my band or bandmates, esp since some people thought that it was one of them behind the name.
