PrintableI'm also curious to hear from Murph--where have you gone, Murph?--how you saw this playing out in your head. Was it something like:
INT. Org user Errant is at his kitchen table while his wife washes the dishes behind him. ERRANT'S WIFE: You hardly touched your quiche tonight, Errant. ERRANT: Didn't I? I'm sorry, it was delicious, love. Thank you. (Errant begins mechanically picking at his dessert with his fork). And this apple crumble, why, you've outdone your mother. ERRANT'S WIFE: You're going through the motions again, Errant. What is it? Something's bothering you. Errant takes a deep breath, slowly turns to face his wife. ERRANT: I... I was on the org today. And this boarder, Murph--Keith Murphy, if that name rings a bell, I know you read the newspaper--well he really laid it down and now I just, I just don't know anymore. I'm starting to wonder if all the years I spent online were a joke. A waste. Every petty little comment, every height and heel joke I made, every harsh comparison I made between Planet Earth and a dead sack of weasels, well, I mean, what was it all for? What has any of this been for? And so on... No hard feelings. | |

Wall said: WetDream said: Learn respect. I highly doubt Murph is going to take a quick comment addressed to a depressed individual with a hard-on for Prince like yourself, and write it with the same detail as one of his blogs. It would confuse you. You come off sounding like you're jealous of his job. Well, i gave attention to the crap i didn't want to....i'm out of this thread. Murph, don't let this arse-banjo or any of the others twist you. Your views are completely on point, it just confuses some. Arse-banjo, there's a new one. But come, have some pity on us Prozac Prince fans, it's a tough go out there. Dripping in this all neurosis and new power soul, ain't an easy thing, guv. I do agree there's nothing more grating than internet grammar police, but seeing as our thread author mentioned he was a journalist, I thought I'd drop in some writing 101 because it's the only useful thing in this thread (including my posts) and the only thing that will have any sort of real world application. don't take prosac. Take this. http://www.youtube.com/wa...Gh3r6da3bM "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

This thread has got to be the best thing I've read in a long time! I laughed. I cried. I doubted my own beliefs. I ordered the prince.org t-shirt for only $77. And at the end of it all, I have a new favorite orger...I'm on Team Wall!
(And murph - next time you title a thread "It's Time For Some of You To Bow Out Gracefully," please let it be about the moderators! hehe) | |

murph said: But to "real" Prince fans like yourself, this is all moot...Because the Org is no longer a place for moderate Prince fans...It's become a refuge for folks who relish pointing out that the old man no longer has it and shitting on fans who still see Price as a great artist on a Prince fan site no less...Hell, even the Org moderators here have gotten into the act...  One minute they want peace……
Then do everything to make it go away.  | |

| @ this thread.
Is that Urban Journal Keith Murphy? Okay then. The thing is, I'm not sure what's to be gained with a general finger wagging except to make the whole exchange more cyclical than it already is. As I've said several times now, there's maybe a dozen or so people that fit the description you cite in your essay. The vast majority of members here are balanced and diverse, yet you appear to have fallen into the trap of dwelling on the few whose critical observations you find excessive. It might help to remember that the org is an independent, privately owned fan community not in any way dedicated to or in honor of it's namesake. I suspect that includes past and present fans and the topics allowed here are decided by the site owner and moderators. With regard to the Time 100 thread, I had to laugh because after reading subsequent reports of the event, just as I suspected, Prince himself doesn't seem to be particularly honored to have his name included in the company of people of such dubious repute. It was basically a tempest in a teapot to begin with.
Moreover we can't have a double standard regarding celebs in general. A visit to GD or Non Prince and you'll quickly discover that a whole lot of them are fair game, especially Beyonce, MJ, Gaga and the like. What I'm saying is other than a few extremists on either side, (and it can't be denied that the idolators post far more frequently), most orgers don't really fit your profile therefore I question whether this tiny minority is worth the effort of you taking it upon yourself to show them the door??? Just sayin'. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

What tickles my funny bone about threads like this is...the OP is/was the one that was offended by something that someone said yet he came to the conclusion that it is time for someone OTHER than himself to "bow out gracefully" and "the Org is no longer a place for moderate Prince fans" which is what he considers himself to be.
If that were truly the case...wouldn't that mean it's time for him and those that feel as he does "to bow out gracefully"...instead of being too pompous and hypercritical to admit that the reason they are even here...on the ORG... with us...disrespectful, hate-filled, won't kiss Prince's ass...ingrates...is because PRINCE...himself is the one who either directly or indirectly shut down almost every other website that has had anything to do with him...and they have NO WHERE ELSE TO GO! I think we could respect that...not enough to leave...but we could respect it! Hell, I've been on this board in one form or another since 2002 and if it weren't for the folks like myself who were and still are not afraid to stand our ground and tell it like it TRULY is, whether it's harsh or not, when it has come to Prince and his special brand of bullshit...THIS place wouldn't even be here now and where would they be? On Prince's web forum? Yeah, right! [Edited 5/10/10 6:31am] I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |
