Many of those leap to conjecture and hypothesis without substantiation. That line of thinking carries many of the entertainment rags like "Star", "Enquirer", "In Touch" et al with the crux of the messages - gossip. Sure some of the rag mags get sued from time to time, but they make money hand over fist and some have enjoyed great longevity. <BR/><BR/>One difference between MFOYA and the Perez Hilton site and Splash and TMZ.com is the focus. MFOYA is focused on Taylor Hicks and Caroline Lyders. It's a gossip site about just them. One thing, it's generated a lot of buzz, keeping Hicks in the on-line spotlight. <BR/><BR/>Whether MFOYA hurts him, that's largely up to the results of the investigation that MFOYA is tracking isn't it really? <BR/><BR/>The fact that MFOYA is the one talking about "the elephant in the room", as this issue is becoming known within the Taylor Hicks forums, doesn't mean that they are actually holding the elephant gun to take it down, merely pointing the hunters in the direction of that elephant... So to speak. <BR/><BR/>This comes down to the gossip rag-mag theory again, as well as this; does the detective create the crime or do criminals create the crime. You see?<BR/><BR/>Should all this fuss turn to mush, well then MFOYA will simply be in a position to say to the effect, that they 'thought' it was an elephant.<BR/><BR/>Harm being caused - <B>really</B> is the on-line vicious attacks some of the Soul Patrol have decided is their "duty" to mete out to any perceived 'threats' to Mr. Hicks. This, often without merit or any rationalization, or research regarding whom or why. These "chill-ing" individuals sally forth with vengeance, fortified in feeling justified to criticize, mock and bully those whom they think are in some kind of violation. <BR/><BR/>This is the thing hurting Taylor Hicks most of all. <BR/><BR/>It's not the elephant-in-the-room "detective" (MFOYA) as much as it is the fan base self- cannibalization.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060218181879503238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21509393.post-79787852456072015922007-12-23T00:02:00.000-06:002007-12-23T00:02:00.000-06:00Sunny, You said that you promoted MFOYA because yo...Sunny, You said that you promoted MFOYA because you admired his/her talent for getting attention and commanding the imagination.

And if you perceive someone as being part of that wrong you are not going to welcome them with open arms. I never expect love just because I show up, often I expect sususpicion and hostility, I think its only normal. You make your bed , you have to lay in it, or get up and remake it.<BR/>I am just not a sensitive person so that helps.

Even in private chat with MFOYA, I never talked trash about CL. <BR/><BR/>Regarding the comments from the folks at the CL Fan CLub, it was more than just 'a comment'. It was hostility directed at me from the beginning. My perceived by them, crime, posting on the MFOYA site. I recall in the very beginning when you went on there they gave you a hard time; I believe you were accused of being a 'spy' or something equally stupid.<BR/><BR/>AH well, their angry little tirades are shown to be quite misdirected.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060218181879503238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21509393.post-85083798192826011232007-12-11T11:25:00.000-06:002007-12-11T11:25:00.000-06:00sunny, I do remember that you said you felt bad ab...sunny, I do remember that you said you felt bad about CL. <BR/>I have no idea who hacked into your site, but I do know at least one in this whole mess who is wiley enough to do it.<BR/>In regards to CL fan site, it seemed to me that just one remark and PERHAPS an overreaction to it led to a lot of bad feeling. Just my opinion. I'm usually wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
