Yup. Seems like they started an early spring cleaning. Not only the nutcases but also highlevel posters (like Iota) are banned/probed.

Sounds like one of those kids that got picked on a lot in highschool and then become cops just to abuse the badge and priviledges it comes with.

Don't get me wrong, Archaic. But just by thinking this Tool fan forum is filled with toolfans is a bit naive...
There are alot of members around here that have "outgrown" listening to Tool. Some even hate Tool. They stick around here just because of the social aspect that they build up around here. And, as long as rules are respected, none of them will be banned for posting absurd nonsence. Maybe when you gain access to "interact" you can see what i'm talking about.

I don't understand it either. I was just informing you that there are those who just when "beyond" Tool (where ever that may be).

Nope, you'll see it after you're a member for three months.

Yeah..I dont understand this at all. If you dont like Tool anymore...Why are users on this website constantly posting? Awww why because you made some friends? How fuckin cute...
Im sure Im just dumb and naive and I dont know what Im talking about because Im a big fan of the reason why I am here and that is a band called Tool. Sorry We dont like whatever MOPE likes or all of those other guys that have been members since 02', 03' that lurk in Interact...
Go to your favorite bands website and chat. Leave people who still LIKE/LOVE Tool...Alone.
AM I ON THE AIR????

after listening to RS 2 or 3 hundred times since the cd came out,and after seeing it performed live twice,my conclusion is that maybe it has no specific meaning,sounds like a description of a dream possibly.thank god this is a forum for OPINIONS,im thinking maybe the sond was done as a jam session like triad and the lyrics were added as a post thought

I guess I will outgrow them too. Our I suppose when someone turns me on to some obscure underground trumpet player I guess I will just toss all my Miles Davis CD's in the trash too if I am to work off of that kind of logic.
I didn't come here to gain access to the interact section. I don't care to interact about much of anything else here...in this place...toolshed.down.net... other than discussing Tool's music. Don't take that as me saying it is all I listen to because quite frankly that couldn't be farther from the truth. But why come to a tool message board if you have "outgrown" Tool ?? That one just doesn't quite compute.

Damn, you just got served....ha

For example; I don't like (read hate) Justin Timberlake's music so you won't see me on one of his fan-forums.
Don't like it? Don't go there!
For the rest i think musical interest is strictly personal. Just live and let live!

Okay so I understand there is an interact section and some long time members who maybe use this place as a space to hang out. Hey thats cool. Enjoy. But I have no problem with the mods keeping the down right cruel, rude, and disrespectful nonsense out of the albums & live forums. Because unlike Interact these sections are here to serve one purpose. That purpose is creating a space for fans of Tool to interact and discuss the music. It seems rather simple.
This is the last comment I will make on this particular matter as it is getting off topic and I have no interest in creating any more clutter than is already present.

Man, things around here get a little tense.
As for the subject at hand, Rosetta Stoned, when taken at face value, describes a DMT trip. It's also one of the /funnest/ songs that Tool has put out thus far. It seems so much less serious, and mind-blowing. It's still a deep song, but it puts forward a lighter feel than the others, and I love it.
