During his time posting on the RCB, Rivers let fans in on his songwriting frame of mind, and quite often, in a confrontational manner, proclaimed his performance for the current and future output of the band over the [[Pinkerton]] and [[Blue Album]] material. In one of Rivers' most famous episodes, Rivers called [[Only in Dreams]] "GAY!GAY!GAY! DISNEYGAY!" During this time, Rivers spoke of a desire for fan input on some issues, such as which songs should be on ''Maladroit''. However, he largely ignored the opinion to go back to more personal songwriting, claiming that while he may in the future, for the present, he envisioned writing perfect pop songs. | During his time posting on the RCB, Rivers let fans in on his songwriting frame of mind, and quite often, in a confrontational manner, proclaimed his performance for the current and future output of the band over the [[Pinkerton]] and [[Blue Album]] material.

Despite antagonizing his fans, Rivers developed a relationship with many of the fans on the board, which led to many meet and greets with board members after the summer 2002 Enlightenment Tour. Rivers spoke honestly with the fans, such as when he gave his impression of first meeting Rick Rubin in the summer of 2002, and of his being on a European Tour in 1996 and realizing that Pinkerton may be a commercial failure before its release. | Despite antagonizing his fans, Rivers developed a relationship with many of the fans on the board, which led to many meet and greets with board members after the summer 2002 Enlightenment Tour.
