Oh boy. MP is digging himself an even deeper hole with his forum breaking down.

I wish Wey good luck. It's interesting to see that he snapped. This could get interesting/ugly.

maybe MP will try to sue him
I have to admit, this post really made me laugh. :lol

Yeah.

I was thinking the same thing  :-\

Just amazing.  DT should count their lucky stars that some of their fans are at this level of unconditional cult worship.

So yeah, as a law student, without taking sides...

It's not surprising that people here and elsewhere assume they have all the facts just because they've read every interview by every band member or because they've seen every Blabbermouth headline.

Of course I'm tempted to think "well, he chose to leave so this is stupid," but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.

And, of course, bands sue each other all the time for all sorts of reasons and eventually reconcile.  Black Sabbath, Floyd, GN'R (Axl, Duff, and Izzy, at least...), anyone?  Some do, some don't.  Point is, none of this permanently burns any bridges.

Perhaps some interesting facts will come to light.

Oh, go on, as it's a special occasion.

This is kind of a relief. Ever since the split, I've kind of found myself favouring Dream Theater and going off Mike Portnoy, but I didn't like that I was picking favourites. Setting loyalties. It always felt like I was being unfair. I'd wanted to see the good in both, and didn't at all like that I found myself resenting Portnoy, but I couldn't help but pit them against each other, and it was a match that Mike couldn't win.

I'm not torn any more. And I'm trying my utmost hardest not to be delighted that Weymolith walked out, but hey! What can I say, the man's got a good head on his shoulders. Looking forward to seeing a sea of MP.com refugees next I log in. You're all welcome by my mind.

This looks like a nice place, I think I'll be hanging out here instead of... you know... where I just came from.
Welcome to DTF. Don't piss off Bosk1 and I think you'll be ok!  :biggrin:

Yeah, take it from me.  He's watching me right now.   :lol

Um...I'm guessing your lack of access might possibly have something to do with that thread you posted.  :lol

People can say what they will about him, but he's always tried his best to do what he believes is right.  :weymolith:

Mike just tweeted:
"Everyone chill out. I am legally NOT ALLOWED to speak of business matters, but I'm sure you realize there are two sides to every coin..."

jmccon nailed it though:
"Let's try this again.  It's not the lawsuit specifically that is pissing people off.  It's the past 5 months of deception that is pissing people off.  He filed back in April, said nothing about it while complaining that he was being made out to be the bad guy, while all along he knew full well he was suing them.  It's the deception that hurts."

We shall see, but I suspect that the MP forum will take a long time to recover from this one, if it does at all.

He followed that tweet/FB post with another:

"In the meantime, life is bright and positive...I am happy and so are they....so shouldn't YOU be too??? Don't believe the hype...Carpe Diem!"

The tone of the wording does reinforce my belief that he is in a much better emotional state now than he was when he filed the suit. But it still doesn't affect my feelings towards the fact that he filed it in the first place. I really do hope for his sake that he has moved on, and that down the line he can reconcile with the guys in the band.
