Not to mention all the Jay Leno show reviews in the same week, plus the commercial whenever it airs, and the 3 shows with 3 different bands on 3/28. He'll be attracting new fans to his site for sure.

Champagne for breakfast? You're in trouble already...here...

As it's been said in so many ways in here, we're in a recession.

I have asked you privately to stop harassing me and now I am asking you here. Leave me the hell alone. Don't post after me. Don't you EVER mention my name on WBAI again. I don't like you. Leave me the hell alone.

Oh and L4OA your problem with me started when I reported you for hijacking a thread on HQ and you got banned because you had points but you chose to blame me. Then you mentioned me on WBAI, by name, saying that Prince dedicated F.U.N.K to fans like me and the people on HQ. Hey Sherlock, if you haven't noticed the mods on HQ don't like me. That song was for psycho fans like you and Bart and the PFU brigade. What Prince does with his business is NONE of our business. He doesn't need me to protect him. Ten years ago I argued with Bart and here he still is. You nasty fans aren't going anywhere obviously. This just gives you a forum to bitch and moan and harass others.

L4OATheOriginal said:

Aw c'mon L4...fans who support Prince are getting jumped on as well. Org members going kindergarten on them calling them koolaid drinkers, fams, sheep, asskissers, etc. Since when did anyone have to answer to an org member for supporting an artist of their choice? Constructive criticism is one thing, and there's nothing wrong with that, there will always be criticism as far as any artist's music is concerned, but you have to admit, you have some that plainly state how they don't like his music at all, won't spend another dime on any of his music/products, constantly criticize him for many of his actions..okay so we get that, but yet, they still spend an enormous amount of time and energy giving themselves high-blood pressure over and over again about their discontent with him.

Question is, if somebody is giving you that many issues to gripe about, then why are you spending an enormous amount of time on a fan community site dedicated to that particular artist? I know we are all entitled to our opinions but it makes no sense, that someone spends so much of their time and energy ranting about their discontent for one artist, day in and day out, when they could be using that time embracing an artist they're happy with. At least that would be time well spent.

If someone wishes to join P's new site and can afford it, then so be it, it's their choice, not mine and not yours.If others can't join the site right now because they have other obligations, okay, then that is understandable, as they apparently have obligations and priorities that have to be met. Like someone mentioned on another thread, this is about "entertainment," not a basic need or overhead expense that needs to be paid, like an electric bill/mortgage/fent/food bill/transportation money forto get to work/child support,etc., so one has a choice to make a personal responsibility decision, as to whether they can afford money for entertainment expenses or not. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to join. It's a personal choice. That's just my two cents. Want some more coffee?

Anxiety said:

Sorry Anx, I know the thread title, was posting very much in this thread, just wondering in coversation of the topic, why it had gotten so out of hand, with people calling other people "liars" & "ass holes" in THIS thread? What has happened?




Or this which I just read above "i left ur ass alone long time ago wack job "

?

?

it has all changed in the last few weeks.
Certainly NOT what I have been used to here for a few years.



Folks are killing each other!

Lawd have mercy, P announces an opening of a new site, new music and it sent the org off its axis.

Prince fans hate each other bottom line. It will become increasingly dangerous to attend live shows over the next few years, better come strapped if you want to hear Purple Rain. May you live to see the dawn, now I know what that statement meant

amorbella said:

$77 is the fee I get for something like an hour and a half of work. I still don't think his site is worth that. How 'bout he PROVES himself first?

amorbella said:

Oh please, you don't "know" anything.

2elijah said:

Yes it has, quite funny if it wasn't all being taken so seriously. Gawd some of the shit going on here is nasty!

L4OATheOriginal said:

Sure it goes both ways, L4, and I agree most of it is kindergarten, with all the namecalling which is just childish. If it were under 18 year olds, then I could understand, but many of these folks doing the namecalling are over 30. But this is the org, so it doesn't surprise me. I just think if you don't care for an artist's work, why waste your time on a fan community site that is dedicated to that particular artist? Anyway, enough about that right? 6 more days and I'm in. What I get out of the new site, I will make the best of it...for me. By tthe way, since you're so picky about what goes in your coffee...get it ya damn self! (j/k)

If she's confident enough to proclaim "All I know is its well worth the 77.00...", she should be able to back it up.

We all have to make choices in life. If you think Prince's website isn't worth 77 dollars, don't join.

Aren't we all supposed to learn from history - even those who weren't negatively affected by it?

ok...my real concern is that as it is now when I try and watch that lil TV on lotusflower it's all choppy and staticy...so I'm affraid all my video downloads will be that way. I've tryed uping my paging file, cleaning out my cache boosting what ever else I could boost...but nothing is helping. I'm still forking over the 77 but if anyone has any suggestions on fixing the choppiness please help me.

Nah, and it was recent, from 3 different mail accounts i have signed up with. you know the way .mac accounts have changed to .me accounts? never mind. To me at least there is not other rational explaination asto how I would get 3 "welcome to target" mails at the same time. We don't get american retail junk mail in ireland. There were others on the org who posted the same last week or the week before. Don't shoot me, just saying, very strange.

I have the mails, they are there.
I am here.

where are you?
