Hermione Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Just because some people have bullshitted about knowing things or only kept saying things for attention before that doesn't mean if someone really does have info they're not allowed to say anything when they know they're being honest and know that a lot of people enjoy it. It's up to each person to decide what they believe and to always consider that info is never 100% guaranteed to be correct (as things can always change) and it's understandable to not just blindly believe everything, but is it really necessary to act like anyone who shares info is automatically talking shit or trying to get attention? Being on the GDC/GDA team I know Matt can be trusted so maybe it's easier for me but it seems needlessly harsh. Also yeah it can be annoying when people suck up to anyone who says they have info, and it's also pointless because when Matt (or most people who happen to know something) hears something he's already going to say what he's allowed to, he isn't looking for people to beg him and it won't make him give any extra info. But it doesn't really hurt anyone does it? Doesn't mean we have to be totally miserable about everything and stop some harmless fun hinting. And sometimes "sucking up" is just people expressing appreciation for the hint being shared. Why not wait and see a bit before getting the pitchforks out

MillenniumFan Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Jesus, even in a wild speculation thread it ought to be possible to politely respond to differing opinions on either side. I mean, I disagree or agree with some people on this specific issue, but that doesn't mean I have an excuse to escalate the discussion to an insult-flinging mud-fight.

scottnz6789 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Seriously what bullshit this becomes! There are bigger things in the world to do than post bullshit or get bitchy on here. What does Billie say ‘be cool’ go have a Pepsi or something? Its so awesome that we have a platform that has existed for more than a decade where we can geek out on Green Day. It’s awesome that some people on here are directly in the know etc. We are alive and breathing be greatful and stop sniping and bitching at each other it is so cringe. If you have nothing better to do take a look at this charade going on in England right now. Orange and the Queen sounds like a good song name 😂. Looking forward to more hints from Matt and new Green Day!!!

I mean like, if it turned out someone was literally making it up then yeah I guess . Then it would be legitimate to criticise them at least. Info can end up being wrong no matter who it comes from because bands can be unpredictable. But I know that Matt is trustworthy and I don't believe there's much reason to be suspicious of him (ie to think he's making things up or only looking for attention) based on anything he's ever posted on the forum either. Does the GDA badge count for nothing? I just think this info has been shared for no other reason than because there's people who find it fun to hear about it.

W_FInkThePlatypusHunter Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 “Just repeat to yourself it’s just a speculation thread, you should really just relax.” Y’all got to learn not to get so worked over all this. It takes the fun out of speculating when people are constantly attacking each other for having opposing views/thoughts.

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 It's a riddle and when we solve it, it will reveal the mystery of the new album

petros Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 So basically Hermione is being the wise sweet one as always and said the exact same thing I did without insulting anyone so you don't have any clever responses to her I guess Nobody said you can't have an opinion but doubting Matt is just silly and to me you just come across as jealous that's all.

Excuse me sir - but I specifically asked about pitchforks - and she said specifically I guess. How dare you say my opinion ON THE INTERNET is not clever?!
Insane Ginny Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 So what if you kids cut the crap and get back to talking about next Green Day album instead
