Mrs B said: We're so totally off topic, but I wanted to address your post because I honestly agree with you. Gerry has had people in his life that he thought he could trust and turned out he couldn't. Haven't we all? I hope he knows that he can absolutely trust many of his long-time and most loyal fans. There are those of us who would poke our own eyes out before betraying him or his trust; and I for one, can't imagine never seeing his beautiful face again. ____________________________________ Since when do we care if anyone goes off topic?

Shouldn'tbehere... I'm going to do like Mrs Butler and Nickname you SBH...If I was saying it I would say your name is a mouthful.... but you know what I mean...LOL So SBH wrote: As for the amount of Tweets and FB and 411/sightings here. If you've been confronted (for lack of a better word) then someone is monitoring this site (I suspect). ___________________________________________ We've not heard from anyone in Gerry's camp so they must not be mad at us, and I would be lying if I said if we heard that Gerry was mad at us for printing the tweets we wouldn't be upset by that news. So as far as I know he is OK with what we are doing. But I believe you are right. I believe he does have moles watching the sites. I am sure that when I showed up at his place of work at the MGP site he knew who and what we were according to his reaction. He wasn't perplexed when he read my sign but he threw his head back and laughed....like OMG! Thanks but you won't unless you cross a line. But you are read. IMDb is read. GBFG... NOT read. LOL They like to think Gerry reads there but no longer. He has moles everywhere (more or less). It isn't like they're there all the time. They've given up on IMDb for the most part. They're there for each other and to draw fans in for feasting. Toxic group there. His moles say good and bad things just to keep boards hopping. They know every blog, website that posts stuff about him--that is questionable so GBFG gets a pass, why bother? They, for the most part are on repeat, shuffle, all speaking to the 15 or so who show up daily. They can't handle anyone with an opposite opinion and shoo they away pronto. Said he should have worn brown contacts for MGP and got read the Riot Act. They when you try to defend your right to your opinion they start in on you finding some reason to monitor. LOL Too funny. Most of it (on the web) gets a wash, a pass, call it what you will. Blink and you miss him. It (the news) is old before you know it. He knows a fair amount of what he does, does it with, is fair game which is why you see so little. What you see he knows is going to be seen. He is seen to keep his name on the burners to be discussed. But some things cross the line and they well be zero'd in on. shouldntbehere

Brown contacts? Hell no. I don't want to see Gerry with brown eyes. That's not him. Many of us already know he has what you call "moles" on the boards, FB, etc. This isn't new news to us. But I don't believe they has much control as you say they do. And who cares anyway? That's his business. I've long had the policy for myself to not post anything in public I wouldn't want Gerry to see or wouldn't say to his face. Any other opinion or thought I have stays in private with my own Girlies. I don't agree with everything he says or does, and have no problem expressing that - again, nothing I wouldn't say to his face. To me, Gerry isn't a god or an icon. I took him off the pedestal a long time ago, and have been happier for it.

However, I also think there is a level of responsibility on his end toward his fans. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I believe it to some extent. I believe that Gerry continues to please his fans, especially those who are well known to him and his people and trusted, because we're his biggest support and promoters. I honestly believe we do a better job at promoting Gerry and his movies than Joy does. I know that many people in my school would never have seen TUT or TBH in the theaters had I not brought Gerry to their attention. I also think Gerry and his long-time, well-known fans have a beautiful symbiotic relationship. I know there have been times when he's been genuinely glad to see us. I think seeing familiar faces in the crowds gives Gerry a sense of security about his career and that he is still loved by the people who were there for him before 300 (and since). OK the responsibility part: We're his audience We put butts in the seats in the theaters. Every celeb needs loyal fans because we're part of his or her publicity. Plus, we make him feel good. If suddenly Gerry changed and wasn't as generous with his time and attention, I think it would really affect him in a negative way, more than it would the fans. We're so totally off topic, but I wanted to address your post because I honestly agree with you. Gerry has had people in his life that he thought he could trust and turned out he couldn't. Haven't we all? I hope he knows that he can absolutely trust many of his long-time and most loyal fans. There are those of us who would poke our own eyes out before betraying him or his trust; and I for one, can't imagine never seeing his beautiful face again. Mrs. B I respectfully agree and disagree. There is a certain sect of fans who have entitlement issues. They are mostly those with deep pockets having met him many, many times who (when they can) follow him like a jet stream. Many of his fans think it is because of them he is where he is. Seriously. One word: wrong. He is where he is by hard work, dedication being goal-oriented, not to mention talented. shouldntbehere

We shouldn't be bashing any fans because they're not here to defend themselves. Gerry is where he is because of his talent and perseverance, and a little luck. However, he wouldn't be anywhere without fans. If no one liked him, he would have gone away a long time ago. Lucky for us, he is as close to perfect as a flawed human being can get.

I took him off the pedestal a long time ago, and have been happier for it. No, it's not him... it's SAM. But Sam could have given him the pass. There is a lot, obviously, we don't know about a lot of things. I don't either. People try to make others act "bad" because they think Gerry then wouldn't "like" you if he read that. No, not the case. Gerry, like all men, value honesty in a woman more than any other character. Honesty is the hardest currency and you can't bargain with the truth. He's attracted to truth. Aren't we all? I am. I don't want false flattery or someone kissing up to be my "friend". That's not friendship (to me). So many of his fans hate my literal guts because I write Gerry-related erotica. Depending on who you ask they'll call it differently. Either way I write this man as a healthy male living a masculine life. Oddly enough most read it for ages then found their particular thing then turned on me. Like masturbation. Gerry masturbate? I guess they think he doesn't. (cough-cough, yeah, right). shouldntbehere really shouldn't be and has to go write --oddly enough-- an erotic post Edited to fix typos

Isn't this the Where's Gerry thread? Perhaps this discussion could be taken to the Members Only chat section. Not the blue box but the forums that were set up ... just below the blue box. As it stands this is ultimately going to be divisive if it continues in this publicly viewable thread, especially when other fan sites are drawn into the comments.
Just saying ...

I respectfully agree and disagree. There is a certain sect of fans who have entitlement issues. They are mostly those with deep pockets having met him many, many times who (when they can) follow him like a jet stream. Many of his fans think it is because of them he is where he is. Seriously. One word: wrong. He is where he is by hard work, dedication being goal-oriented, not to mention talented. shouldntbehere Oh trust me - I know this, and know many of them. We shouldn't be bashing any fans because they're not here to defend themselves. Gerry is where he is because of his talent and perseverance, and a little luck. However, he wouldn't be anywhere without fans. If no one liked him, he would have gone away a long time ago. Lucky for us, he is as close to perfect as a flawed human being can get. Text in bold is total crap and you, but especially he knows it. Or should. Seriously, are you serious? And if he felt as much (I think) he'd blow a gasket by such, ohm, arrogance? Or more likely be totally embarrassed for them (read: you). Do you think he wouldn't be anywhere without his fans?? Honestly? Really? How? Why? That's insane. HE did it, not them. They, including me, may have drawn people in for a closer look, but it is HIS skills that ultimately got him hired, not those of his fans! Really, no way. Not even all the members of all the sites combined (with repeated viewings) or any of those showing up for every show and premiere could account for all the ticket sales that have brought him to where he is. He worked it. He's talent, gumption and drive. He's vision, tenacity propelled by raw sensual animal male natural talent. On topic... where is Gerry? Working. Memorizing lines. Checking email. Lining up what to do tonight, tomorrow, this weekend. Going to practice soccer, his lines, to eat, sleep, screw, and watch TV. OR I could write up some more fan fiction and say that he is... not reading this. No, wait! That is the truth. shouldnbehere

Okay gang not to be a party pooper but this thread has gotten far far off its main purpose. If you want to continue this discussion, we can start another thread and moves those posts over there or anyone here can certainly start a new thread and in the meantime I am going to start a new Where's Gerry thread and we will outline the narrow parameters.
The main reason for the Where's Gerry thread is for people to be able to take a quick look to see in fact where Gerry is or may be geographically located. While he is filming in Shreveport, we likely won't need that thread much at all except if he takes any forays away from location. So I am going to open up Where's Gerry April 2011 and I will in fact link it to the Shreveport thread so it should be a pretty quiet thread.
Every member has the ability to start up a new thread and discuss any aspect of Gerry they wish or discuss it in chat or there may even be threads already set up to deal with these discussions.
If you have any questions about setting up a thread or what thread would be appropriate just PM one of the mods or admins, including myself or Web Mistress Dianne.

So I have started up a new Where's Gerry thread for April and so any specific plausible sightings of Gerry outside of Shreveport can go there but for consistency, we keep the Shreveport sightings in the Shreveport Sightings thread because hey we know where is he is for the most part in over the next 2 months. The new thread is here: weiner1proboardscom.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=sightings&thread=2257and I will change the link in the sticky right now.
