Seems like ya have to walk on "egg shells" round here now. If ya post in the wrong forum you'll be accused of disrespect toward Blind Melon by "high ranking" heads. Based on past experience, I should have known better to express any thought in this forum. But the title was HELP US STOP THIS. I just get fed up with "high and mighty" judgmental types. I used to believe this place was an oasis far away from judgment. You walk a fine line when judging others. Seems like everytime I log in I find some negative topic in the mailbox. Sorry you feel that way... I don't see this thread as a negative thread.. more of a heads-up/support thread. But, why the quick change of heart? Yea, thats F'd up. It's also illegal right? Whats the status on it. Did it sell? The only thing you can do is keep your eyes and ears open. Because of that first comment on page 3. Its nothing but accusations and judgments about people buying bootlegs, and statements like that just lead to trouble. I just get fed up with that. It happens enough in everyday life. I don't have a change of heart about the whole E-Bay issue. I also believe that was wrong. But, like someone else said.. who knows why they did it. Maybe they had to feed their family. But I also now feel condemned for expressing my concerns. Like I'm somehow a suspect now because of that statement. I have never bought an unauthorized bootleg. I have respect and integrity. I respect the one's I look up to.

What makes you think someone suspects you?

I respect the one's I look up to. The first comment on page 3 is my post and no way did I ever suspect or point a finger at anyone. I respect everyones opinion and although I dont agree with it , it is your opinion.....Why someone did it and maybe they had to feed their family is a whole other story. So is it right to rob someone at gunpoint because you need to feed your family? Im with Brad on this one in the fact that whoever is selling that knows what they are doing and is well aware of the the fact Nel gifted that to us without any profit to herself , but to give a part of her son to the people who loved and adored him.

What makes you think someone suspects you? I didn't say they suspect me. Try to read what I said. I said, It makes you feel like a suspect when someone says 90% of the people who posted in here has bought illegal bootlegs.

The whole gunpoint issue is a society problem, not a Blind Melon problem. And you cant know for sure if the person selling knows what they are doing. There are a lot of Melon fans who don't even know this forum exists. I've been a huge melon fan since the beginning and didn't know this site existed until 4 years after it started. Like I said before ,I respect Shannon and at Christmas when Nel gave us this, I made sure I thanked her. I would talk to Nel directly about this because her wisdom means the most.

Just don't get me wrong.... I don't believe in selling any unreleased material from any band. That includes my favorite... Blind Melon. I was simply saying , don't be so quick to hang someone, when nobody fully understands the situation.

I believe the item was pulled , auction is over and it says 0 bids...when you look at other ended auctions it still lists the # of bids.

thats great. theres a number of reasons someone might have done this, but i think the point is, this was a gift. kinda like selling the Christmas presents your mom gave you or something. as for me, im not as upset about the person who did this as i am just the disrespect and disregard for the value of such a gift. just very tacky. some things should retain a little sentimental value without having a price tag attatched to it. just my opinion.
