Poor4Life Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 With all the excitement still buzzing about last Saturday night, I hate to bring this up, but feel I must. While speaking with Marvin yesterday, he told me he has decided to leave the forum. He has his own reasons, and didn't go into any details as to why he came to his decision. It's a shame, since I just finally met him at the concert. Now with all this excitement about the band being together, he's leaving. I, for one will miss him here.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougjack Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 What?! Jeff, I find this hard to believe...are you sure? Maybe we should wait to hear from Marvin himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymooladi Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Marvin what is going on? I don't think any of us want you to leave. What's up??June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Marvin is leaving, after all his work with REFLECTIONS, and that, his friendly inputs on here and sharing all.I can't believe it, maybe it's a trick guys,huhMarvin is a great guy.That would only leave two Canadians on here, Me and that wonderful lady from OTTAWA, Ontario.

Tiggsherby Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 How do you leave the forum? Maybe he's just decided to tone down his input a little. I can't imagine that he would just cut off the relationships he has developed on this board over the years...just like that???I got it....maybe he's now a paid consultant on thearch-rival board "raspberries.net" and doesn't want to duplicate his work here?

Tony Cartmill Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 1. Ve haf vays uf making Marvin stay.2. Maybe he's taking time off to write a book.3. Maybe Wally gave him an ultimatum: 'Berries board or Ego-man's board, my brutha, you gots to choose...4. Maybe it was about to come out that Marvin was having a paid sexual relationship with the former Governor of New Jersey, and Bernie would just get too jealous.5. Maybe he's just going to concentrate on Butch Walker's career.6. Maybe he's a seed for Osama bin Laden and Allah had sent a message that it is his time blow himself up in a crowded Canadian shopping mall. (Nobody's as cool as Marvin without something dark lurking inside)7. Maybe we should wait till Marvin tells us what's up. (But it's so much fun speculating...)

mymooladi Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I e-mailed Marvin and got the same answer Jeff got. Something is not right here. We should be all of out minds happy here!June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 This could be something very personal with Marvin and his family. He has spent a lot of time and money going to concerts and working on commmunications. This could have been a straw that broke the camels back. I would just respect his privacy and let him go. It really is nobody's business and certainly not worth joking about.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I know, you think maybe, he was kidnapped by the greys with those alien silver space ships, why take him, they should come and get me, I can prove myself quite worthy.LOl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Gord, as Sterling says, this really isn't something to joke about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Some people never learn...Geeez!...Anyway, I'm going with the bin-Laden-Al-Quaida-suicide-bomb-in-the-mall theory until I hear different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Jeff, did marvin say he's not going to be here at ALL or just needs time to catch up with life outside the Berries world??Tony - you crack me up, dude...I needed a laugh to get my heart beating again...no marvin on the board?annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Marvin,the best to you.Found your music knowledge and opinions razor sharp.Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Maybe Marvin hasn't made it official since he hasn't chimed in here yet. Maybe it's not too late to change his mind. Maybe WE can be his big lovable airbag at the bottom of the 20 story message board...Marvin! whatever it takes, we will be here to make you feel at home when you come back on the board....But if you have one of those designer Bin Laden & Finch explosive vests on when you jump...I'm outta here!

Tony Cartmill Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hmmmmmm, Marvin just emailed me saying he has changed his address to mohammed_matthews@msn.com. Suddenly my theory seems not so crazy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryeyes Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I'm not sure what happened to Marvin, but he will be missed. Marvin, I told you many times that I have learned so much from you about music in general. Well, maybe it is just a matter of time and we will see you here again.Thanks my rock n roll budG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I hope you're right, Gina, and that it is only a matter of time, and not permanent. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Freakin' Canadians!...Too much like the French. A little stress, a little pressure...and they surrender every time. C'mon Marvin, get back in the game! I sneak on and it costs me money at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazumi Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 NOOOOOOO!!! Can we still see him on Raspberries message board? Kazumi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahoodore Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Freaky...I get up early and I find this craziness here on the EC board....Marvin hasn't mentioned a word of this to me, and I have known him longer than all of you...over 30 years...If this is all true, than I would suspect his reasons are good ones. It's all a great big shock indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Marvin, you can't leave me man! Who else is going to agree with me when everyone starts saying how great WD is and we know how much it sucks?!You've been such a big part of this board - relaying all the stories of the people you met at the shows, what it's like from your unique vantage point, doing the 'Reflections' work... What are we going to do here without you? If you go, we certainly are going to miss you - especially me! The Canadian contingent here is shrinking! Only me and Gord left?

Poor4Life Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 We were talking back and forth about the concert and how great it was, then he kind of just blind sided me with that bit of info. As I said, he didn't want to go into it, and I didn't want to pry. According to what he said to me is that he's decided to stay away from the forum. I wish I could tell you all more, but I'm afraid that's all I know...sorryJeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
