THIS SITE IS NOT COOL ANYMORE...NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

This site just isn't cool anymore. You can't "this" and you can't say "that". Why even call it Prince.Org is you can talk about prince. Jeeeezzz!!!!!

I never understand why people get pissed off when they get very mildly censored on occasion, on a web site that somebody decided to host and pay for and maintain for no money or obligations from the members whatsoever.

Of all the forums I've ever visited on the net, this has to be one of the least restrictive.

Thanks for everything and keep up the good work.

That's not true. You can say anything you want to. In fact, try this on for size:

I just heard that Prince is the funkiest musician on the planet, and furthermore the Org mods are just beyond cool.

I bet you $100 this post doesn't get deleted.

Freedom of Speech was never promised to you when you signed up and agreed to the rules of the site. This is a prince.org online fan community, owned and operated by one person, with moderators who volunteer their time to keep it within the boundaries of the laws.

It's been pretty popular for over ten years, and it is what it is... but, thank you for coming and expressing your views.

That's true, but sometimes it snows in April. I know it's still March, though - I'm going skiing next week! So I hope it still snows in March. April - meh, doesn't affect me.

The topic of Freedom of Speech is a good one for P&R. I remember from my college law classes that you can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater, so freedom of speech is not absolute.

Editing someone else's speech is also not cool. I am sure that never happens hear, but it happens all to often in the real world.
