DIO SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *HUGE BIG HUGS*

Hello members. Many of you are friends of mine on Youtube and on Facebook, but for those members who do not know me, my name is Claire. I can see that I'm too late already, but i was hoping to post something before those certain bullshit updates and that cancer video hit this forum. Please don't be fooled by Ronnie's MANAGER--yes, manager--that is how Ronnie himself refers to her since they split up twenty-something years ago. Oh yes, I know what Blabbermouth.net and other news sources have said, but as Ronnie's fans, we should be supporting Ronnie's statements, not his manager's. I realize that I cannot tell other members what to post here, as I certainly would not want anyone to tell me what to post anywhere. In fact, there are some of you here who are well aware of my own recent battle with Blabbermouth, which was instigated by the fat blonde bi**h, because she did not like comments that I posted there. So I can only beg you to PLEASE keep her phony updates off OUR forum!! As it is, she totally controls Ronnie's official site. Let's show her that this is OUR site, and that she is not welcome here. Believe me, that woman is looking for attention, and to ignore her totally will annoy the crap out of her! We don't need her for information about Ronnie, as she makes those updates more about herself than about Ronnie anyway. Let's not even mention her name here; simply refer to her as Ronnie's management, that's all. A manager's place is supposed to be in the background, not front and center with the client . She works for Ronnie, not the other way around. Unfortunately, I have had to leave all but one DIO forum on Facebook already because I couldn't stand seeing her crap on them. I refuse to join any other DIO forums on Facebook or myspace that I have been invited to join. I only belong to this forum and one on Facebook. If people here insist on putting her updates here, I cannot stop you. But I will be monitoring this one and the one on Facebook carefully. If I see anything I don't like, I'll simply leave both forums. PLEASE let's show that bitch that this is OUR forum and that she is not welcome here. Thank you.

Hi forum members. After re-reading my posts, I've decided that it is probably best that I leave this forum. Whoever posted that damn cancer update and that video, has already tainted this forum, even though I realize that was certainly no one's intention. This could have been OUR forum, not Ronnie's manager's. I'm sure whoever posted the video was trying to show what Ronnie was going through, and it certainly was heartbreaking. Naturally, SHE had to be sure to insinuate herself in that. As for the updates, unfortunately for us, there is no one who is willing to say just how supportive she REALLY is being to Ronnie. No one wants to get involved, and I don't blame them. So we have only HER word, and it's not much. Since I realize that I have no right to tell anyone what he or she can post, I'd rather just leave this forum so that I don't have to see any of this or be a part of this. I know that you are all loyal DIO fans and that you truly have only the best intentions. I am just as loyal as you are--to RONNIE--and I won't no part of anything that bitch posts. Thank you and goodbye. Claire

Dio sister you DON"T need to leave this place, and I agree with you on that statement! The cancer update I will removed it, your two posts of what you said I will posted it up sticky if you like sister. I seriously so agree with you on that statement!

Thank you sis. I really don't want to leave, but I can't look at her shit on here either. Whoever posted that update thought that he or she was doing something good. What the person fails to realize is that this has to be our forum. In order to do that, we have to keep her off totally!! She is a total control freak, and unfortunately I realize that more than anyone else here. After all, look what happened to me. Even if you do remove that update, we still have to make sure that no one posts any others, or ANYTHING else by her or that includes her. Let's start treating her like the MANAGER that she is supposed to be, and put her in her place in the background. I know that you and A lex understand, but I'm not sure about the other members here. That's why I thought it would be best if I just left. Thank you for caring, sis. Big hugs!!

you are very welcome sister... I'm always here for you sister!

thank you sis. Unfortunately, that fu**ing is still there!!

Hi sis. Stupid me forgot the word update!!

I know.. going to remove the update as soon I posted the global announcement.

Thank you sis. I knew that you'd understand!! Huge hugs!!

you welcome!! Just posted, and locked!

Thank you, Dio sis. You do realize that there are members here who will not like what was done. What they need to understand is that she got me thrown off a forum, and she would do that to anyone else who posted something that she didn't like. Now we turned the tables on HER--we threw her off our forum.!! I hope the user who posted that update understands that this was nothing personal against him or her. But in order to keep this forum in our hands , we must keep Ronnie's manager off here.

you very welcome dio sister and yes that's true!

Hello Claire,

I posted the Video and sorry if you are angry now

Florian

Ronniesgirl, I would be happy if you sent me a PM about what exactly caused your problem with the manager because I don't fully understand.

I think if you are so infuriated with her, post in the other topics (like my guitarist thread) and ignore your sore spot.

Hi everyone. I'm sorry if anyone was offended here, but if you recall, I did offer to leave this forum. Florian, I am not angry with you at all. You posted that video because it showed what Ronnie was going through. It wasn't your fault that his manager, as usual, had to make sure that she was featured in the video too. That's the type of person she is. That's why I feel it is so important to keep her off this forum TOTALLY!!! To Diolover91, it is easy for you to tell me how to control my sore spot, you did not have that fat blonde bitch throw you off a forum!! I do realize that you have good intentions, and I did explain myself to a point, but I will private message you later today to further explain. I'm angry right now, so I'd rather cool off and explain it to you calmly later. And that suggestion about starting a new thread? What would I call it--Wendy the bitch? The whole idea was to keep her completely off here. There are already many forums out there--Ronnie's official site (which is controlled by her), Blabbermouth.net, and the Black Sabbath Online forum , to name a few, which are more than willing to kiss her big fat ass!! Why? Because she feeds them the latest info about Ronnie. That is why Blabbermouth kicked me off their website as a member, because more than likely, she threatened to leave them out in the cold in regard to future news about Ronnie. Keep in mind that Blabbermouth considers itself to be THE source for all news that is hard rock and metal. I was hoping to keep this as OUR forum, not hers. A manager's place is supposed to be in the background, taking care of business issues for the client. She works for Ronnie, not the other way around. All things are supposed to center around Ronnie, not her. Since Ronnie's illness, she has gone out of her way to feature herself as the poor suffering wife, which as per Ronnie's own words, she is not. if you have any doubts, take a look at the December, January, and February updates. February's update, in particular, was a DISGRACE!! It was all about her. Yes, March's update was different, but even then she had to somehow stick herself in there. Not to mention the fact that she embarassed two loyal DIO fans for no apparent reason. That's the kind of person she is. And by the way, the reason that the March update was different was probably because she was blasted for February's update. We have a chance to make a difference here. We do not need her information . In fact, Alex and i were able to scoop Blabbermouth with information from our Rudy Sarzo interview before her damn March update--so who need her? I realize that I sound harsh, but you would be also if you were in my place. Like I said, I did offer to leave this forum, because I won't be a part of featuring her crap on a forum I'm a part of. I've already left all but one forum on Facebook. I'm sorry everyone, it's a matter of principle. Thank you.

Claire I WILL NOT remove you, I only told you what I think about this!

Florian
