The reference 'frauds of the nephilim' is to a thread a long time ago , where I came up with the term ' frauds of the nephilim' as a joke name for a FOTN tribute band, it was just a 'jokey' reference to some banter way back when..... some of us here like to have a bit of ' banter' rather than treat it as our personal blog.
Theres no disrespect to anyone.... Ive actually got better things to do than spending all my time over analysing and making pointless speculation about members of a band which is but a shadow of its former self.
Banter on DR ? But just a distant memory .......
I had a sniff again at that thread :

Heres the choice, a full hour and a halfs gig...... would you rather see
a. Carl Mccoy and a mediocre fields of the nephilim tribute band playing FOTN classics
b. Paul and Nod, Tony and Peter ( i.e the original FOTN minus the vocalist) with a different (suitably gravelly )vocalist playing FOTN classics?
this isn't about a 'fictitious' band it is implying original singer and backing musicians vs original line up minus original singer.
you say you are devils advocate, well its hot in hell and if you can't take the heat....
aside from this, its accurate what BA said, I certainly wasn't out to attack you personally Moo, it was an example of the overall climate and nature of a lot of discussion.
@BA - I didn't mean to point a finger at you either, in that I understand your position , and what you said makes sense that you edit as you receive complaints. I understand that it is a fine line your have to walk and impossible to please everyone.
What I was trying to point out was the climate of things and the fact that in general people don't complain and think its ok for some but not for others it seems very 'unbalanced' to me.
Also what I was
especially trying to point out and what doesn't make sense is that BA gets pressure from someone from management when something is said about them, or others connected with FOTN, but Not when its slander about CARL. err...Something wrong with this picture? Also
IMHO their tactics of contacting the moderators to hush things up privately instead of just civilly coming on and making a brief statement is very mafioso, unbecoming and uncalled for. It certainly shows a lot of disrespect
IMHO
as far as banter, it dropped off , certainly for me,after the whole 'animal humor' thread and complaints about the banter and DR being used a s a personal blog, and my being PMed by BA. Again , its seems a case of ok sometimes for some but not for others. Y'all need to make up yer mind. I post a lot from my own view and experiences because, as such, I know its true.

I'm not into censorship myself. I like stuff to be left up as evidence of people nastiness. And the responses to that as well can be insightful and of value. Though I can understand the need for it at times. I just don't like the whiff I've been getting of a stench of injustice.
