snowdogged Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) It would seem that quite a few people seem to have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with Neil. Most of the threads in the Rush section seem to be about Neil these days and now I am just adding to the fire. However, these Neil threads while humorous at times are starting to get old and stale for the most part. Do other people in this forum feel pretty much the same way that I do about this?

D3strukt Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I wonder how many of these people would give him a bj? 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeamusWiles Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 actually Neil is probably a virgin, because in order to have sex you actually have to talk to someone and meet them face to face first. I know he's married and has a baby, but it's probably just for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I am amazed at the Neil Peart backlash on this message board. I'm truly amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 It's not that they're obsessed with him, per se, but there is an unhealthy obsession about meeting him and his desire to not meet them. Can't blame the guy, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, these Neil threads while humorous at times are starting to get old and stale for the most part. Do other people in this forum feel pretty much the same way that I do about this? I completely agree with you. To each their own I suppose, and I can usually tell by the OP and title of a post what is going to be inside and avoid reading it, but it's annoying to filter it out to get to some good topics. Obviously I have a recent account, and don't post much, but have been lurking for a long time. There are a handful of people that really have a thing against Neil, and are working it for all it's worth. My guess is that either they are engaging in troll-like behavior to rile people or have what they consider fun, or they are religious, and feel threatened or are offended by Neil's views on religion and those that believe. It's a bit odd to me that someone would get offended at how someone else views their beliefs when it should be of no consequence to them, and so often religious people judge those that aren't religious. Anyhow, I do agree with what you've said, whatever other's motivations are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugen Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Maybe i have a little obsession with him, it's almost by unawareness. He's the only person in the world that i would be proud to take a photo with him, but i don't know how i could find a way to make this happen. And it's not a urging need to realize this. I just have a secret admiration for him , but those who know me well have destroy this little secret. I think i am more obsessed with Rush's music than Neil. And i am sure that this is a healty experience. (except for the damage done to my ears over the years...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Let me just say I really hope Neil never gets bored and visits this board. 99% of all you posters bashing Neil would not say it to his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosy Toes Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I don't want to meet him. From what daddy says he sounds a frightful human being. If Neil didn't obsess so much about not wanting to meet people we'd all be better off. If he'd never said a word about it and just kept away from society we'd be none the wiser. However, a drummer who pretends he can read, and has the temerity to try and write lyrics deserves all the scorn and opprobrium heaped upon him. DRUMMERS, KNOW YOUR PLACE!
