The constant hatred, negativity, homophobia and racism present in the forum...

Almost 50% of all threads end up in negativity...mainly in some cases of racism towards white orgers and most of the times in pure insults by people who don't like what other orgers like in music...And still the moderators do nothing about it. Usually these actions are maintained by avatar-less orgers.

Here's an example:

Exactly. I don't see any homophobia or racism on that thread. I read it from beginning to end.

There are always going to be fans of some musicians and haters of others.

You know what.....if you see a thread you feel warrants the attention of a mod..... please please report it. We have tons of threads to wade through, and deal with many other issues, etc.

If you're not going to report nothing then you got nothing to complain about.

sometimes I think people should put a sticky note on their computer monitor that says "butch up" for them to read before they fire up the ol' internet. people are way too sensitive. and if you spend half your time looking for ways to be insulted or offended, don't be surprised when it actually happens.

I think this thread is hysterical coming from a person who posted the question of why do black musicians beat their women in the non-Prince forum, amongst other shit.

Understanding and allowing different opinions and views is part of being a grown up. Stop bitching and hiding behind "racism and homophobia" because you know that will get a response. Grow a spine
