Let's get some more threads about Morris Day and The Time,Mazarati,Jesse Johnson,etc......where their music is being discussed and analyzed! Isn't that better than focusing on all the women that Prince slept with?

And the posters who are over running this thread are 1 of the reasons this has become such a problem. You know who you 2 are.

That's just not true. Of course, there are two-three Orgers who come on every single Andy thread hurling insults, unfounded rumors, and profanity, but somehow they are the sensible ones in your story. Besides those Orgers, there are numerous other participants in the threads.

It is also important to note that you could say the same thing about threads about Mayte, Vanity, etc: There is a core group of Orgers who keep them going. But, none of them are hounded like Andy enthusiasts.

And, I'll not wade into the moderator quagmire, beyond saying that my major issue is (and remains) the erasure of wonderfully informative threads on Prince and Andy, which, btw, translates to archival information on the final years of his life. You would think such information would be welcome on Prince.org.

Only one person uses profanity (although I said “bullsh*t” once, and what I said on a certain thread was not an u founded rumor. I have spoken at length with someone who had a longterm relationship with him during 2011-2012, and whom he pursued until mid-2013. The unfounded rumor was the one Pink put there today.

I hate to break it to you, angel, but that is what is called an unfounded rumor. And, I saw the rumor that pink posted, which she indicated is a rumor that should be taken with a grain of salt. But, at least she could point us (actually, it was YOU) to the Twitter post where it was written. You can't even give us that with your recycled LSA tales...and you have the nerve to insist that the drivel you spout is factual...and that you are privy to some exclusive secret about P's love life. You never cease to amaze me.

I didn't post the rumor until sharpie asked. I thought that most fans on social media would know what I was referring to since the Prince fan group that posted the article is well known and widely followed.As I said earlier I take rumors that I have read online such as the one about T&C with a grain of salt.Unless something comes from someone I know was close to him such as Hannah Welton,Shelby or Elisa for instance,I am skeptical about what to believe.

Thanks Fly! I actually was wondering myself where the rumor originated from and sharpieheartz posted the link to the source.

By the way, all I will say was, that Prince was ONE SEXY MF. So you girls who’ve been dreaming... Keep doing so. He is JUST as u imagined.

SoulAlive said:

On page one of this forum,there are hardly any threads about any of the *male* associates...it’s just thread after thread about Andy,Mayte,etc....the same,tired discussions going on and on and on.

SoulAlive, more people should start (and maintain) threads about what interests them. That is the only way to assure a more diverse selection of topics.

That's very true. I appreciate that Latin has been posting about a variety of topics such as upcoming events and several of the associated artists projects.

Good point,but I just think that there are too many “gossipy” threads in this forum and it’s always about the female protégés.A lot of these threads are about personal things that have nothing to do with their music.

The nature of Prince's music (the lyrics) make it virtually impossible to dissect them without talking about emotions and intimacy. Have you ever considered that? And, even when we try to talk about the music, there is a band of Orgers who are allowed to consistently veer the threads off topic with personal attacks and profanity.

For instance, there was an excellent Superconductor appreciation thread started by another Orger that was going very well. The focus was on lyrics, photos, interviews, and articles about the album...but once again, the lyrics are deeply personal and it's impossible to discuss them without talking about them relative to Prince and Andy's relationship. Still, I would say that 75-80 percent of that thread is/was about the lyrics, interviews, and pictures. Now, that thread has been removed. I'm told that it will be brought back, but all we can do is wait and see.

In the end, it is important to remember that different people have different interests. Some Orgers are musicians, so they crave threads about the technical aspects of Prince's music and musicianship. Others want to talk about the vault and upcoming releases. Still others are focused on estate matters, so they tend to head directly to those threads. Then there are those who want to talk and read about the investigation and the recent document dump.

Personally, I will sometimes dip into/lurk on threads about all of the topics I've mentioned, but I am most interested in Prince's final years and his last music, of which Andy Allo is a large part. Some are interested in the earlier years, the music and relationships, so they are more interested in Susannah, Vanity, Cat, etc. Then there are those who can't get enough information about his marriages and the music that they inspired. Thus, those Orgers are drawn to discussions about Mayte and Manuela.

Because of my primary interest level, the music and relationships from 2011-2016, I made the conscious choice to create threads and post information that I find noteworthy...and important...and engage in discussion with others with similar interests...which leaves little time for worrying about what is going down on those threads about which I'm less interested...and on which I seldom click. As a result, I am constantly bullied and ridiculed for, basically, staying in my lane. Do you think that is fair?

Agreed. I BEEN sick and tired of every turd these bobble heads drop on social media getting its own thread.


The only other time I saw this many damn catfights was when the biggest pimp in our old neighborhood died and his hoes were ALL trying to out-do each other at the funeral. True Story.

So bascially because people don't like the topic, the "powers that be" are now going to dictate what can and can't be discussed on the site? Although throughout various times in his career, Prince presented the persona of a sex symbol, and had women on display to promote this aspect of his persona; it's not to be discussed; and only the music is worthy of a thread? So it's better to censor thoughts and ideas that you may disagree with, then for people to just skip the threads which they find uninteresting/unworthy/stupid?

What/who's stopping you from starting such a thread?

The moderators didn't say anything about "censoring thoughts and ideas." A few people (me included) posted our ideas about what should be done and they're pretty much all a variation of containing these repetitive girlfriend discussions to one thread, section, etc. Pretty similar to what the mods do now witih death-theory talk (direct it all to the one sticky and lock up any additional threads).

^^One sticky thread devoted to all the girlfriends is a great idea.That way,the forum won’t get flooded with a ton of gossipy/women threads.

i think What rogifan proposed would work better.One thread per associate artist/woman. It would be confusing to discuss them all in one thread.
