it's all favouritism there, some people get away with murder if the mods like them.


it's not "all" favouritism..

I'm sorry shorty I disagree, I've written post with suggestions and the only time I get a response from the mods is when someone with alot of posts joins in. I could be wrong it could just be the timing but it's happened alot.

well I don't blame you for feeling that way then....
I guess I was referring to the getting away with murder comment ...which I can't say doesn't happen either but...to me it's not that bad.
The club isn't perfect that's for sure, but it ain't as bad as some folx say it is...
just my thoughts shrug
"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

When I say get away with murder there are members who disrespect in a bad way and nothing is done, it hasn't happen to me but I've seen it time and time again then I hear other people getting banned for the exact same thing, then again it all depends on what's said.
And your right the club isn't as bad as people say I go on quite often chat, you just take the good with the bad

First things first, I am el_callejero formerly of the NPG Music Club and Prince fan since the first vinyl " For You".
I am only a couple of years younger than Prince is in age. I am an adult and I have formed certain opinions over the years and that’s tough shit for whoever doesn’t like it.
Secondly, I believe Michael Jackson a fuckin' FREAK! But, that is my opinion everybody on this planet is entitled to his or her own opinion and I respect that.
Well, my problem started yesterday when I voiced my opinion in the "U Tell Us" section of the NPG Music Club. I was banned for posting my opinion.
What kind of bullshit club are they running over there?
Do Jehovah's Witnesses defend each other to the death?
Furthermore, censorship whether in books, magazines or some shitbag Internet site is never a good thing. I paid money to join that site, I was a member and members should have the right to voice their opinions! Even if the NPG Moderators don’t agree! Who do they think they are “The Republican Party?”
How would they like it somebody went back and censored all of Prince’s old music? I bet they would be singing a different tune then! All of us are entitled to our own opinion. Mine being that Michael got off easy yesterday!
Finally, I would like to say that I am not perfect. I have sinned. And I will be judged accordingly, but I have never even come close to what MJ has been accused of (more than once) and I have never paid millions of dollars (more than once) to keep anyone quiet about anything.

PS. Hey NPG Moderators, Michael is a FREAK (like you didn’t know that already) and I celebrate Christmas, birthdays and hopefully someday a Michael Jackson conviction!

el_callejero cool



I thought your last post about this was your final post?

I will be putting my entire Prince collection on EBAY. I have a lot of stuff some of it rare and what does not sell will be going to The Salvation Army.
I think my Prince trip is OVER.

So you sent a bunch of private messages to people at the club who disagreed with you and I won't repeat what you said in them but I do know what you said and now it's play victim time at the Org?

If they let you back in, don't send any to any friend of mine, okay? neutral


A certain person that I PM'd wrote a very explicit PM to me. I returned the favor and he then reported me. To be fair they should read the incoming messages in my log and then they should make a decision. The proof is in that log I have no reason to lie. I was accused of a lot things one being a Clansman and that is the one that pissed me off. So if that PM got me banned it is not fair because the person that recieved that PM'd is a crybaby and just didn't like my response to his PM. It takes 2 to Tango.



el_callejero cool


Yup. nod

I've noticed that immature people can't take the truth about themselves. They retaliate, forcing you to respond in turn, then they play the victim. It's pathetic.

No, but a magazine, newspaper, whatever would NOT cancel a person's subscription because they submitted a letter to the editor that they didn't like, either.
