Is there a thread on the Org right now that you refuse point-blank to open? Or want to respond to but don't, for whatever reason??


Or maybe there's a particular type of thread (say P&R-based) that you won't dive into? Or maybe you stay way from an entire forum??

Tell us which threads and why! Here's your chance to answer that thread/burning question/hot topic without having to go on the actual thread itself.

this one

There are times when u are just bursting to reply to something but u really don't want to be perma banned
But then u just can't help ureslef

basically anything from the P&R forum

most of the Prince forum

most of the Michael Jackson threads

Personally, I tend to stay away from the P&R forum. I go in there, yeah, but stay away from the debates. There are very interesting conversations, and some Orgers are soooo well-informed - I learn so much - but haven't got the time/patience/inclination to get into an online shouting match. It's much more interesting to watch from the sidelines, sometimes.


The 'Kanye West: I am the NEW King Of Pop' and 'Is R Kelly as good a vocalist as Marvin Gaye?' threads... Just from the titles alone, I know they'll irritate me so much that if I post on them, I will hate seeing them pop up in My Org everytime they get a response. Must. Resist. Temptation. To. Respond.

Give us an example! Are you as restrained in real life?? (Personal question, don't answer if you don't want to ).

Why? Why?

I mean that in the end I wind up saying something and no...Im not restrained I post in anything I find interesting

chillichocaholic said:

See? There are loads of threads that I often see and think but, for whatever reason, don't respond to. For loads of reasons (too irritating/too personal/whatever). Then there's the whole My Org thing.

Yup

Or want to respond to but don't, for whatever reason?? Nope - if I want to respond I do


Or maybe there's a particular type of thread (say P&R-based) that you won't dive into? ~ I kinda have ta cruise into the P&R threads but like here in GD - yes- many I am not interested in even checking out

Or maybe you stay way from an entire forum?? not really


oops

This I can relate to.

the P&R forum, completely. no good comes from going in there.

also, the MJ R.I.P thread that was like 3,000 posts long kind of killed my interest/ability to go into that one and i haven't been in the new one now either. too many damn pictures, etc. i'm assuming that any news that i actually care about (like a new album, etc.) will get its own thread.

onenitealone said:

sometimes if the thread topic is just disgusting, i don't even click on the thread. toejam, barf, smegma, poo threads are not my style

like, someone created this horribliffic dustmite thread a while back if you can believe that
[Edited 8/1/09 13:52pm]

i'm going back to avoiding race threads and the prince forum

- Most threads in P&R... esp. the religion ones.

- Ones in GD where the sex talk is way to personal, or TMI.

- Ones by certain Orgers (don't EVEN ASK! )

- Cat threads.

ALOT

Thanks for your responses, guys.

I haven't started any of those for months

I'm just not a cat person. I don't have anything constructive to add about their care, and I'm usually not very amused with the "cute and funny" cat threads.

But it wasn't toward U! I didn't know U started them!

Some of the fans who truly believe their only purpose in life is to serve the purple one or that they are the one Prince should/will marry..I find it hard NOT to respond to those posts...

Sometimes I just want to know whether they're taking the piss or if they truly believe what they're saying.....but I'm learning to restrain myself..but..it's..soo.....hard...not....to!!!!!

Anyway, they do provide a good laugh though and it would be quite boring without those nutters.

Yeah, it takes all sorts - I've given up trying to explain the appeal of this site to my mates; even my MJ fanatic friend, who goes on the MJ websites, doesn't 'get' the Org. I always describe it as a 'soap opera' - you get all the characters and types, except it's a real slice of life.

I never go to P&R, despite the fact that my educational background is in Political Science. I refuse to discuss politics on line in any fashion, not just the org.

I rarely go to Non-Prince and Associated Artists. I never find them compelling.

The threads I do hit are M&M, GD, Lotus, and this one. Unfortunately, all of the threads have been severely lacking in any topics of interest. Perhaps it is the time of year. I hope it picks up soon.

This place does seem to go in phases - and always picks up when Prince releases something/performs, of course.

I'm also not interested in threads about Wendy & Lisa.

>I don't open the threads from Littlworld and of Amesterdam. I dislike the moralism and the irritating way of they speak and the lack of humor
>I wait patiently for a thread initiate for Macdaddy!hello Macdaddy; i love you.
>I love Zombie;she is a beautiful woman and I identify with her in some subjects

Sometimes when following a thread and finding that certain Orgers have posted on it I just jump to another thread - I find some Orgers' attitude to others' opinion really annoying or narrow-minded, that I won't waste my time in reading all their negative

chocolate1 said:

No?? Even the Org interviews?! Or is it the threads about them you're not interested in?

My respect for the has grown and grown over the last few years - they speak with such candour, and have so many interesting things to say/perspectives, I love reading their interviews. Plus, they sometimes have hilarious things to say about Prince.

The last two interviews gave a fascinating glimpse into their dynamic/relationship. It was like watching two old friends of the family, at their place. Not two musicians who have sold millions of records and played to thousands of people.
