So lets get this straight - HQ have "taken it up the ass" (as quoted by a couple of org'ers) for letting Web Sheriff have a membership, however they've been on the org for months ?

Hmmmm.

An org mod has already been in communication with Don Knotts and Don has created an account with the org a month or so back.

Let's not create mass hysteria over here. Please...

You telling me during discussions you never caught thier names, see the org must be doing something right.

Oh and devoted puppy how could you sue prince for taking a photo of a placard it doesnt show your face.

That is odd and rather unsettling as I don't remember any announcement to the members. At least HQ had the good grace to let everyone know. Even guest visitors like me. smile

I think you'll find SOSGemini was joking about that name.

I know full well who the MD of Web Sheriff is thanks

Because the sign belongs to me, it's MY ART, my creative output, which I drew and made by hand, and it has my name on it (both my legal name on the back and my username on the front). wink

I'm not going to argue the legality of it with you because that's not the point: the statement is meant to facetiously point out the irrationality of the entire situation.

the WB dude created his own account on his own accord just like anybody else can. he didn't ask for our permission and we didn't give him one...why in the world would we want to announce something as trivial as that?

anyone who agrees to follow site rules are allowed post on the org...bin laden has violated numerous national laws so your comparison does not apply. and the org aint the white house...the org is more like a Cheers.

you answering like this, is like a confession. You know there is something spooky in allowing Web Sherrif into your community to watch all communication between members, and as a result photobucket accounts being emptied.....

It seems you just don't want to face reality....

What is thier to face, are you scared, Paranoid, oh and on the subject of Photobucket i was led to believe that was only HQ members accounts cause i know people who still have Prince Pictures in thier Accounts.

This isnt about Fighting for the rights of Fans, The majority of fans dont give a shit.

Don Knotts is a perfect description for this guy. Seriously, how unprofessional & and cheesy is it to have a bunch of pictures of yourself on a business intro page?! The discussion in that link I posted earlier is hilarious. Barney Fife sent an order to a site which had embedded a YouTube link for a video that had been uploaded by Warner Bros.. Ole' Barney got his ass whooped by Ernest T. Bass and then was peed on by Otis (Pirate Bay).

this is a public forum...our threads can be seen by all (regardless of registering an account)....you can't hide behind a false sense of protection, the reality is everything on the internet is monitored.

The point I was making, albeit bluntly is that you cannot sat that Prince has the right to control all photos of himself and then complain that there's no paparazzi shots in the papers. The two points are a direct contradiction.


They aren't a direct contradiction, and I made the two points in very different contexts.

Paparazzi take photographs of Prince out and about. I believe that Prince has the right to try to exert control over photographs of himself at work in concert, as well as audio and video of his music.

I'm flattered that you took the time to cross-reference posts I have made in different threads though!

whatever... in a week or so, The Org will face similar difficulties, maybe, members are no longer allowed the say f-words.....catch my drift.

Instead of attacking Housequake, The Org should have made a pact with HQ, which would have resulted in an ever stronger Prince fansite community.

Don't forget, out of all artists, performers etc etc all over the world, Prince treats his fanbase as garbage !

Prince.org is not attacking Housequake. A small percentage of the community is voicing its opinion on this subject. Most folks on this site aren't event posting on this thread so please lets not exaggerate and declare folks within this thread (and the other two) actually represent this site. Its not fair to Ben, the mods here or the community at large.

Ben has always believed in community spirit - the lawsuit information centre he ran on here was a great example.

Obviously that was before your time Nicholas or you wouldn't be acting in the superior manor in which you have shown today. A great example is that if Ben had a way to secure pro bono legal support for fellow fans then he'd have gladly volunteered the information rather than a childish "well I was hinting but you didn't org note me".

It's very sad that the current moderators do not view the community in the same way as one of the founders of this very website.

dunce Your choice? Course it was.

Not for nothing, but I was a member of the Org years before I joined HQ in 2002 - so the "we are being invaded" dramatic crap is as valid as half the rubbish you are spewing.

My point is the sole purpose you appear to have in this thread (along with the other HQ threads) appears to be to belittle the site, to slam the moderators, and to mix-up the truth with whatever baseless rumours you have heard until somebody comes along to set you straight.
Whatever though - you keep on keeping it on with your crusade.
