 If I were running a website meant to serve as a PR tool for my career, I wouldn't include an open forum for people to offer their opinions on my work. I'd offer an e-mail address maybe, but giving the illusion of respecting fan feedback and then engaging in such fickle moderation practices as NPGMC has shown...I'm sorry, it's just shitty. | |

Don't forget, P hasn't banned you personally, it's the moderators etc. who are the ones you should be angry with.
Looking at the post it doesn't really warrant a ban. Maybe they didn't appreciate the Jesus/Prince analogy? | |

mzflash said: I couldn't find NuPwrSoul's thread, maybe it was deleted. It seems like if the NPGMC is going to ban someone, then they might want to eliminate whatever remarks they didn't like. I have gone back to find my posts gone, now I hesitate to write anything. It was nice that they at least offered communication thru the board administrator or webmaster. Hopefully these sources are available, fair and capable of effective communication with regard to the subject matter. ? Please let us know how it goes!
Regardless of what NuPwrSoul wrote, I think banning is a cruel and unusual punishment in a civilized society. We are given free will to choose our way and beliefs. So it seems like those who try to force someone's thoughts or actions thru manipulation are saying that they know better than anyone and have the right to play God. Discussion can bring information and light to a situation, banning confines, limits and restricts knowledge.

What a sad state that club is in if you're even thinking you'd have been banned for something like that. | |

so, it occurs to me that the most important part of the agreement between npgmc and myself is that of prince news (ie, the promises of first chance ticket purchases, live events, etc.). they tend to post that info in the 'u tell us' section way more often than in the 'music club newz' section and since i have been denied acces to the 'u tell us' section i am being denied the benefits of the main purpose of the club. can anyone say 'fraud'?
on jewish principle, i'm gonna see what i can do about this. stay 'tooned... | |
