We're just some people who dedicate a fraction of our time on a website created mainly because of Prince,
who is not even our friend.
We have no personal relationship wit the man...
nor did he put a gun to our heads and say "buy this or buy that or pay all this money and come to this concert...
even though I said I'll neva play the hits again...
but I always do anyway...
and u always argue...but...
u still come anyway!"

It's like you're in an unhappy relationship and u know things are bad,
but your partner's gonna do wateva they want to regardless of wat u say
and your opinion don't really matter anyway, jus as long as u provide the sex and u cook the food.
U walk around frettin all the damn time and u kno they ain't gon change cause they hear u and don't try to do shit bout it...
jus as long as u provide the sex and cook the food!
Some ah y'all wastin y'all time focusin on the negatives too much.

I guarantee you that the ones on here bashing him daily, lead their own lives very similarly... bashing the people around them. If you step in and try to question / stop them they call you derogatory names to humiliate you as well. They are bullies hiding behind their computer screens posting anonymously.[/quote]
this is utter nonsense, making a general sweeping statement like that. People can say anything critical they want to about someone in the public spotlight, such as Prince, and it doesn't mean that they are being abusive in their own lives, just because their opinions don't mesh with yours.

It will crack me up forever til the end of time to see such diehards talk about love for the guy but own bootlegs up the wazoo. "Don't say anything bad. Just steal from the guy".

I don't get it either, how people just attack you, swear and curse you over a statement they disagree with, its pathetic. And like you said they hide behind their computers and would never dare talk to people face the face the way they do here.

From the way I read it he/she was making a statement more or less about how too many here at the org respond and react.

I made a response about music that was considered for Parade and had someone curse me and call me a liar, and then someone else just jumped on the attack for nothing. The behaviour is very juvenile and punkish at times.

You don't know us

I think it's easy to put the situation into perspective: Imagine how you would react if someone treated Prince the way Prince treats people. If you get angry about that someone for acting that way, but not Prince, then there may be further room for exploration as to exactly what the hell is wrong with you.

He found out the fans really did pee in his cool-aid.

I cannot agree more with you candy. I am perhaps one of the few ... enthusiast ... of P's art. He is just a "musician" or "artist" who has had a successful career from his 1st album.

He's nothing more or less then that. If anything he is an eccentric that that may not be unaware of "normal" life that you or I may experience (on a day to day bassis) e.g bills, rent or mortgage and such.

he's far from idiocy....what he has, are social issues. the only way he can resolve those..is to be socialllll. , etc., etc.

Indeed as a wise man once said "theres a thin line between insanity and genuis" like Hitler, Eistein etc

however.....

Stop with all this "hate" shit. Nobody hates Prince. Sheesh you make it seem like we wanna kill the dude or burn a cross on his front lawn.

Some people, a lot of people, just aren't buying his snake oil and that's all there is to it. That snake oil could be some whack ass protege, some bullshit celibacy story, some tired theory about the "system of thangs", some need to quote scripture but not live scripture, some overpricing of membership to yet another website, some BS about why his records don't sell the way they did when he was younger and so forth. You can like a musical artist and not have to get on board with every single thing they say cuz some times the stuff they say is bunk. That's not hating that's just having your own mind and opinion. And since when is Prince above and beyond any type of criticism?

Some of you are just downright stalkerish.

Vendetta1 said:

Yeah, that's it. I'm upset because Prince doesn't care about me.

I'm upset because I wasted $12 on a boring and uninspiring piece of crap "complilation" peddled through Target of all things.

GNS said:

lemme think about it

The fact that so many fans constantly use the strong wording "HATE" for everything that is not to their liking says more about them than about the fans they accuse of hating.

There is a big difference between hating and criticising, but some really can't make the distinction and take everything that is said about Prince way too personal. They really have issues.

That said I do believe there are also some who actually talk about Prince in a way that could be considered "hating" but they are just a few and it's not fair to throw an entire website of people on that one little pile of shit.

thin line between love and hate. i only like the little fucker. nah that's a lie....I LUV U MAN!!!
Now move yo big ass round this way so I can work on that zippa baybee!

Tremolina said:

Exactly! I found the fact that people were calling me a hater so tough after my vocal criticisms of Prince's behavior during that whole PFU thing so laughably ridiculous that I adopted HatrinaHaterwitz to illustrate just that and to try and reduce the strength of the implication. It's so stupid to generalize everything that isn't all drooling, slobbery, doe-eyed adoration with such a strong connotation as "hate".

Which is why I was quite surprised and more than a little disappointed in Prince for his part in fanning the flames of the idiocy with that whole, very broad stroking "haters on the internet" shit! If there was so much hate for Prince, he'd have been a broke ass has been. Period!

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

I don't know who called you a hater, you're just Hatey... big difference..

P isn't doing anything any different than anyone else in the business, people tend to be really how they want to be when they get famous. It's no different than MJ or Madonna or anyone in here who was famous. Everyone has things that are crazy about them. It's not wrong to say that a person may think that P makes and does things that are weird or don't make since. The bottom line is that he's been in the bus for 20 plus years and he's not going anywhere. There's alot of things that I don't like about him. The way he treats people sometimes gets on my last nerve and especially the way he treats women, it's probably why he can't find a woman that be with him for the rest of his life. He can be a REAL *&^#^&!@!! at times, but he's not an idiot.

im wonderin...

Im tired of cussin folks and folks hatin.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

I found that to be quite pathetic to hear....he has to address people that say things he doesn't like? Well boo fuckin' hoo for him! I'm sure he's super critical of people all the time and thinks it's ok for him to be that way. It just seems childish and almost threatening....who's got their number? What? Are you planning on keeping track of peoples' addresses and other information that is plugged into your website? What is this, the mob?

OK I guess, but that would disqualify a large part of the Republican party as well.
