The Real Identity of Some NZM members

Um.... who gives a toss?

Some people I have been noticing have been trying to figure out who people really are on this forum.

Example... hollis. (Everyone thought he was Duncan Greive for a second there, and hey I did too, I was wrong to jump on this bandwagon but yeah it was relevant at the time).

And theres the people who constantly accuse others of being members of Blindspott.

Who really cares? The point of these forums I thought was to express opinions anonymously!!!!!

Can we stop this?

Forums: The Bar,

yes. yes we can.

Excellent. Sorted then.

Martha, you are cool.

I don't want upset little pricks trying to whack me over head at gigs.

hollis you are cooler. (By the way thanks for your list in that other forum I started up this morning. Must check out some of those bands).

Better watch out for Augustino's lead singer tho.

He might punch you.

nah
he's ALWAYS too drunk to do anything

Good point.

Is Sean Clarke the new Jordan Luck?

in so many ways...

although I reckon he should become NZ famous FIRST
and then develop the problem

Then poses the question. Is he an alcoholic or just a "rawk staaa"?

ahh.no
pluto are rock stars

So true.

So VERY true.

You forgot the D4, hollis.

this is a band that consumed so much coffee in the studio that one had to be admitted to hospital.Its funny.But not enough to make me believe.
I'm keen to hear more stories though.

Oh look - it seemed that it was decided that this shit was going to stop - and then starts it again. Maybe everyone just should be told who you are hollis - I'm really trying to hold back here for the integrity of these forums - but I'm finding it really hard. Then all hollis's problems could be presented (and there are many).
Hollis will no doubt get a punch - and he will deserve it because he's making personal attacks. I'm not one to disagree with beer consumption when enjoying a night out - better than sitting around looking like a miserable old bastard - ay hollis!

Jackson, who cares?

Get over it already.

Silly question considering some of the above postings!

I was talking about the D4

Jackson, notice how I started UP this page so that people would just stop talking about people's real identities.

I mean WOW you claim to know who hollis is outside of these forums. Thats such an achievement.

I only care that people shouldn't care.

That is all.

//You forgot the D4, hollis.

Well I meant The D4 in the sense that their songs are very rock n roll and they LOOK rock n roll. Don't know about their extra-curricular activities.

But yeah Pluto on-stage or off-stage - soo rock n roll, they win hands down I'd say.

Yes martha - I do agree with you. It's just all the band bagging and personal insults that fuck me off. This is a music site - not Womans Day.

Fair enough Jackson.

Sorry for the snarky comment but yeah I'm assuming hollis uses an alias cos he wants to be anonymous. Much like you probably do.

I've apologised for abusing Sean.

But remember, this is a forum.

You did hollis - but then started up again.

And it IS The Bar. I thought the point of The Bar was to express opinions freely and talk about bullshit.

Isn't this the place where theres something called "The Bar Sunday Tabloid" edited by Spike, that encourages this gossipy behaviour? lol!

Come on .Talking about someones nightly activities is not abuse.

Toughen up.

yeah but who the hell is spike anyways? seems a tad parasitic to me and a bit creepy...?

Thats a good point there antic. spike's tabloid creeps me out.

But remember, the point of this forum is to STOP people wondering who people really are.

yes martha too true. i meant more like 'what is spikes agenda' to do such a thing? don't really care who it is per say.

My guess is he has no life.

Hes even got a website devoted to his devotion to NZMusic.com.

i for one would like to know if someone is impersonating someone else.
accusing people of being in blindspott is shite, but what about people who come on and have conversations with themselves? that sorta stuff is bad for the site.

this page might be sposed to be anonymous, but i hate hidden agendas.

You've got a good point there.

Are there people who are seriously lame enough to do that?

I mean, hey I come on NZmusic.com cos basically I have the boringest job ever and its fun to argue about music with people. But two identities?

Jimi, this forum was directed more at the Blindspott accusers and the "hollis is Duncan Greive" thing. Oh and people who constantly think that Nana has more than one identity.

*gets a nervous eye twitch*

the site's writing style specialists have noticed some similarities between the late nana and some other icons who have sprung up in her place.....

guilty as charged.... apart from that example tho, i hate it too.

where is nana anyway?

i think she has been reincarnated somewhere on this site.....

I was once accused by a couple of MZM members of being K'lee undercover, which I thought was pretty funny.
As for Nana, she was getting on a bit....

"but what about people who come on and have conversations with themselves?"

I couldn't agree more jimi! There are some guilty parties for sure. How do you stop this though?

Yeah Jimi, I've notice some Nana-esque qualities in a couple of newer icons...

c'mon Nana.... show ya self!

Yr all a bunch of waaaannnkkkerrrs!

The PC bar - where all tension is relieved and all fights averted.

I'm a wanker.

I am, of course, highly offended by this statement. *snorts*

suck my cock

tension relieved

oh fuck you guys give me the giggles!

ok sorry martha, but this is kinds relevant i suppose...hehe...
i hate it when people automatically put you into a category(i.e teeny bopper or troll) when thats anything but who you really are, but theres no way of proving otherwise because you're stuck behind this little coloured icon which when pops up people will automatically go "oh jesus, there goes the troll" or "there goes the teenybopper"......does anyone else get frustrated by this? or is it only me?.....

Two Things
1) We as a community have both the right and the responsibility to challenge the validity of some icons, as jimi said some posters have hidden agendi.... who will ever know what was going on in funkybitches head when they started on the path of slandering Anika Moa and then had to build a fantasy life of being employed by Universal?
Should we leave people like this unchallenged?
Possibly that whole fiasco has left some of us a little more sceptical, less willing to believe everything that icons say about themselves, more willing to closely analyse their statements for contradictions, hidden agenda and overall bullshit. It is a natural reaction.

2) On the bottom of the Bar Sunday Edition WE have asked for feed back, please which bits are creeping you out?
WE are trying to help us all to laugh at ourselves, fun for all, if WE are failing in this please help US by telling US how and WE will try to do better :)

I see some familiar writing styles here.......

Do we have a return of the infamous over the hill forum control freak in the guise of Spike????

c'mon nana show us ya rollers...

Sunday Edition Feedback. OK, I need to get this off my chest.
Did you ever experience that sort of situation where you and like minded people where happily doing your thing maybe at a social event or such, and along came this loud and annoying busybody type who looked at what you were doing, and thought something along the lines of 'hey this doesn't fit my perception of what should be happening here'. They merrily clapped there hands saying 'everybody everybody, now listen here' and proceeded to try and manipulate the situation at hand to meet there own perception of what the kids should be doin', not knowing that everyone was quite happy slouching around in a cynical daze, and ultimately chewing the fat over some fine shit.
That's what I fear is happening here, and that's because this forum favours those that clap their hands and be loud rather than the relaxed and tasteful (somewhat wanky, I know, but for argument's sake...).
While it's kind of OK whats happening here, my gut reaction is I don't want to post because of these sort of predatory creepy "nzm members" that summarize every activity on the site in a cutesie pie "sunday edition". I can't express it right so I'm gonna go with - it's just not cool - stop slobberring over everyting that is good and just let it breathe. be cool about it.

Spike crew, your self-righteous post provoked this from me, sorry. I think people can see through the alias being used (???) and I think that's why people are more interested in who people really are at the moment.

word

Nibbles - your campaign & posts are what got us this seperate bar. it's for subjects that you don't wanna talk about, that aren't necessarily related to NZ music. You don't have to come here, you don't even have to read the posts since they're not in the recent posts section.
Some of us find Spike funny, so if you don't like it, please just stick to the 'relevant' topics.

thank you for the feed back, nuff said, point taken

Spike funny, thanks Megaccino but nibbles is not the only person feeling creeped out, and if it's not seen as being funny then it isn't, then there is no point. Nibbles should be thanked for being one of the many NZM members who lead to the bar beinging opened
