Don't worry, just doing some maintenance and admin-y stuff behind the scenes today

Regarding my comments about Blake and how rude some of my comments were... well, that's how I felt at the time. If it's offended certain people on this forum then I apologies but I think you'll find I wasn't the only fan of Amy's who didn't like the guy and I do not appreciate being singled out in this thread and being made to sound as if I was running some ANTI-BLAKE campaign and I was the only person making nasty comments. Yeah I said some shit about him, as did plenty of others, but this was years ago and I'm sure you can understand my frustration at the time seeing as what had happened to Amy while she'd been with him. What I thought/think of him doesn't matter. Why bring up old postings singling me out to make me sound like a douche? Not appreciated.
Regarding the conversation I had with Amy... she didn't have a problem with my name. I decided to change my username after my heated conversation with her out of respect because I didn't want my username to be taken the wrong way. I eventually changed it back because it was my original username on this forum and I never used the name 'Wino' to offend or upset anyone. I'm perfectly aware of what it means but I didn't use it to piss anyone off. I just thought it was a good username to be honest.
I was using a drawing I had found on Google of Amy which, personally, I thought was a really good drawing. Amy and I were having a conversation via Facebook which started nice enough but then she became abusive because she didn't like my profile picture. Words were exchanged but the conversation ended nice enough in my opinion, and although she fucked me off talking to me like that, I never stopped hoping she would recover and it never stopped me listening to her music. I think I removed the conversation from the forum but I still have a copy of it on my laptop purely for myself if I ever wanted to read it again.
And as for the Blake member on this forum... I don't know if the recent Blake Civil was a fake or not but he did once join this forum (I know this for a fact) and he made acouple of postings but then we never heard from him again. I *think* he used the username Blake Civil but I can't be sure.
Thanks to Jane and Phil for getting the story right.
Peace.

Just read this properly and it wasn't to do with my username (I'm going to go and read the convo now just to refresh my memory).
Thanks anyway Phil. Haha. :topsyturvy:
Wino (Clare) the founder of this place, and Amy had a dust up. Amy wasn't happy with the 'Wino' posting name. Amy didn't take any shit but neither did Clare! Clare did change her posting name though, for a while.
I don't remember any details but I seem to remember Wino being royally pissed off at Amy. LOL
I think this happened when Amy was not uh at her best. Maybe another old timer can correct or validate my memory.

Amy was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughn
In the sanctuary, she has found, birds surround
her sweet sound
And Amy flies in Paradise...

Wino, i feel for you, and iam proud of you, that you are enough strong to continue keep this forum of Amy, and carry her legacy, even after shes been abusive and called you names... if its been me, i wouldnt do it.. simply because i could be heartbroken...
And my pride would be so big, that i could not stay silent, after being called names, and give everything up...
Don't take me wrong, Amy is in my top 3 favorite Divas, but i cannot imagine, iam buying some artist albums, support them, buy from their merchandise stores, everything with their picture, and sounds, RUN A FORUM, making efforts,( I know the hell by being administrator of forum) and at the end being called names for avatar picture...
It's just how i feel the things... But i still like to believe that Amy back then might be frustrated from the place she been back then... and iam sure she would regret it later....
I met certain BIG celebrity with B letter on her name back in 2007, and she was so rude to us, the group, that then i just told ehr to f off, and stopped buying her albums, threw everything away...

I don't find the name Wino too offensive. Yes, Amy was an alcoholic, but Winehouse is also her surname, you can't invent this shit...
And anyway, Johny Depp has a "Wino forever" tatoo, so it's all good :playful:
LOL.. the story behind that is, that he HAD to do something with the Winona Forever tattoo, LOL. he had no choice...
But i don't know why thats SO offensive, ive met this name/nickname quite often...

The fact that you come reply to this topic, without being defensive, that proves you're a good person. I don't agree with everything you wrote about Blake, (although I know you're not alone) but like you said, it was long a time ago and as I wasn't a fan at this time, I can't really understand how it was worrying that your idol of 2004, changes at this point. So again, sorry! I hope it will not create any discomfort between us on the forum.

As far a Blake goes, he's a sociopathic drug addict and will always be one. Based on the video posted on this site on here recently, it's clear he is a self obsessed narcissist who has done zero to get on with his life or make amends to all the destruction he has left behind. Many recovering addicts spend their days going to their jobs and their NA or AA meetings, moving back in to their humanity. I don't see Blake doing any of those things.
So, not judgement here...just my thoughts and feelings. I've been lucky enough to have been around his type to know there is zero purpose in cultivating any hopeful or positive thoughts toward him. They suck you dry and move on to their next victim.
