Discussion Etiquette 101

This site was generated out of LOVE for the PURPLE one. I have issues with all the negativity created by some of it's registered members in some of the topics written. My expectation was to come in here and feel the positive vibes just like how it was for me at the celebration. I felt..Happy, GOOD, and Optimistic about life!

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great, informative comments here, but I speak of the few really negative, hurtful and hateful ones. They just don't belong here or anywhere for that matter. Maybe it's a lack of finding the appropriate words but, if you can't figure out how to say things or at least make the attempt, then maybe you should leave it out! I know it's all about choices and I know that I don't have to read them. There is always the ole 'Freedom of Speech' business..but come on. It's just a shame that this site has to be stained.

Thanks for your time!

or she could understand that not all experiences live up to preconceived notions, especially when those notions have no basis in reality.

I hate to inform you, honey, but people exist at the org, and those people have personalities. they may not be the personalities they exibit off the computer, but that's one of the wonderful aspects of computer mediated communication, and if that is the behavior they choose, so be it.

I ask you, do you walk out your front door and expect everyone to behave as you would like?

Prince doesn't teach love. he may preach it, but there is a tremendous difference. besides, just because the people hear enjoy Prince's music doesn't mean we are mindless drones who act like him.

it's what I said earlier, the org is inhabited by people, and we have personalities. if she doesn't desire organic interaction she's better off visting a more controlled setting where people's behavior is guaranteed. like a cult, or Paisley Park, which quite frankly teeters on the same difference.

Hmm. dicussions arent always gonna be peachy. I think sometimes playful arguments may get mistaken as actual hate.

I think alot of people on here are just having fun. Could you imagine how dull the site would be if there were thousands of posts that all said "gee I really like that one prince album..."

I'd recommend JackieO go to the NPG web page if all she wants is the positive, but I just can't bring myself to do it!
I'm firmly planted in denial

You can't be serious JackieinOregon lol...

No one must or has to agree or be nice... this is a forum people can disagree... and act how they feel if it is offensive to you skip it... everything under one agreement is boring... lol
It's all good! cool

Thanks for your replies. It looks like I struck a nerve and, that's exactly my point. I at least was able to elicit a response. I wanted to see who needed a hug. Looks like one especially does.. "Hey, DA..do you need your hug today?"

Hey..I'm NOT a stalker! I'm just needy and, the SPACE NEEDLE just ain't big enough..(lol)

Peace n Luv

Positivity wins in the end...if everyone were the same of course this would B pretty boring. Its not about kissing Prince's ass & agreeing, as it is having a sand grain of common sense & showing some respect when its truly "just".

If everything was meant 2 B such a damn free 4 all then the laws of the land that really work 4 the betterment of our quality of life as we speak would not B needed~

Hide behind the freedom of speech but I ask wheres your accountability when it comes 2 what U say? The poision that "some" of U spread is really not fitting 2 a Prince site. Not sayin all is perfect or should B when it comes 2 Prince, but more then half the crap on here don't even need 2 B here. Flat out sick and some crazed mined topics seem 2 B the flava more then the mans music or the many things linked 2 it.

But coming out against those who are truly in the dark only brings about backlash 2 the positive lights (the wiser minded)...Well I'm not one 2 hide under a rock cause I fear backlash...That can kiss the back of my azz~

Props 2 Jackie 4 not only being new here on the Org but standing strong as a positive light. That takes "much" more work the acting a straight up fool~

*God Peace Joy & Love 2 ya Jackie*

Jackie, you are SOOO new to this site you stink of it. Discussion Etiquette 101 should include a primer course in sitting around and figuring out how a place works and where your place in it is before you open your trap and complain about it.
