How did I guess you'd quote that post or quote something about me before I re-opened the thread? Rather than post about the actual story at hand and contribute to the discussion? Poor baz, a guy that's lost his mojo and become so predictable on here that I can read his posts before I see them!
I actually feel this story/thread has made me brave enough to speak out; I genuinely feel I've been suffering from emotional trauma from this guy on here for at least the past two years from his attempts at online bullying and oppressive behaviour. He always targets me in posts and attempts to belittle me and nobody ever questions his actions. Since his circle no longer post here because they're in Brazil wearing shit 3D t-shirts (i.e. abs) it's only now I feel I can talk about the horrible mental torture I've endured from this guy at attempting to drive me off the forum. His obsession with Jack 'Fucking' Wilshere was when I knew I'd become a victim due to his obsessive and demanding behavior at trying to promote football's biggest sicknote into my fantasy football team. Together we can speak out and beat this #metoo
I don't know if he does it anymore or if he's cleaned up his act but after the primal scream gig in TCOTU I slept over at his and he doesn't actually have a a bed... Instead he sleeps nude in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him 'sexual powers'. Didn't question it at the time as I was pretty wasted and just wanted to curl up on the floor and go to sleep. Now I think about it though, it was pretty weird.
Now I think back I also remember when Theo Walcott signed for Arsenal, aged 16. I remember baz posted a remark which said 'looks like a really nice player' which seemed innocent enough apart from he quickly edited out the bit that said 'plus those buttocks look ultra hot in Arsenal shorts'. I thought it was a joke at the time but given he deleted it it did arouse suspicion just like an infant Walcott seemingly aroused him. I now feel so bad I never questioned it at the time and would urge any other forum members to come forward to share their stories #trustsoapboxers

anyone been following the fallout from this on social media?
ryan hasn't posted anything on his accounts since his poor excuse of an apology but has clearly been following everything as he's been going round blocking anyone and everyone who speaks out against him including former friends/band members.
there's also been various new accounts setup posting absolute garbage against a few people within the music industry that have released statements and its pretty obvious these accounts are ryan. he's clearly properly fucked.
check out this instagram post from his guitarist todd and all the comments from "ronaldbelin" which is surely ryan. completely fucked up....
Yep and I disagree really, aside from the underage thing there's a lot of suspect shit being spouted.
What follows is exactly what I was referring to earlier on in the thread. People coming out and twisting narratives now their careers have taken off can be guilty of emotional abuse as the supposed abuser. Then using twitter to say 'message me Ryan and we can get you help' rather than picking up the phone. Jesus fucking Christ. Pheobe Bridgers interviews from a year or two back:
“Though their relationship began as a mentoring friendship, Ryan soon started coming on to her. She was freshly dumped by her first love and vulnerable yet, as she told the Telegraph, “super-down” for it. They hooked up on the night of his 40th birthday.”
Ryan's always been a bit of a dick but men using women and women using men shocker in this case. I did play some of his tunes as a mental test and still enjoyed them as much. Until he's found guilty of the underage shit then my opinion of him won't change.
I've also decided not to open this thread again as I realise speaking out means I'll be prey to emotional abuse from monkeytennis et al who will try to mock anything I say rather than contributing to the thread. I realise by laying myself out and going against the grain puts me in the firing line but sobeit. Goodnight Rose.

i mean, your contributions to the thread thus far are finding ways to defend ryan adams (when it's massively obvious to even his biggest fans on here that he's a wrong'un) and smearing me as a paedo, so i don't think we're missing out on a cancer cure.

So he started tweeting again, been a knob as usual.
I have a lot to say. I am going to. Soon. Because the truth matters. It’s what matters most. I know who I am. What I am. It’s time people know. Past time.
All the beauty in a life cannot be reduced to rubble for confusion, ignoring truths that destroy all the good in us. This madness and misunderstanding. There’s enough of that in this world My work was always meant to be a map for the lost. I’ve tried my best to be open and accountable. Not a billboard. I mean, maybe for being flawed. I’ve always wanted to help. I’m trying. So, soon… because it’s time to get back to what I do best. I’m here for the music, for the love and for making things better.
I didn’t have an easy life. I lost my brother the day the Prisoner Tour ended. Every night wondering if he would be alive. He was proud of me. My family and my friends were there for that. And so many great fans. For the Meineres community who suffer every day. This music was for then. It mattered. And that was always for it to help.
So let’s do that. THAT will matter. The amends made and things lost in the noise, that should’ve mattered too. I want to be a part of that healing. To go play have some great shows and put out these badass records.
Believe Women. Believe Truth. But never give up on being part of solutions, and healing. I’ve lost friends who have passed away in this time of self reflection and silence. I can’t be like that. There’s been too much that mattered. Thank you for your kindness, your support and for this time I needed to decide how I could be a part of a better tomorrow for everybody. Sometimes that peace comes from opening yourself up. That’s who I want to be.
Here’s to that. With love and with faith- In all of us and our best and our faults RA
Thing is (& I know I can't speak for everyone), I feel if he'd sat this year out, the whole online thing I'd imagine will have been dropped & gone away by then, he could have made an ACTUAL apology, put his hands up said that he's hoping to change, made some monetary gesture to raise money for a cause or two, gone on tour & released a record & been able to resume his career & with time he'd probably win back fans/press & whatnot.
