Is that anything new? Is that not something that has always been before Prince's passing?


p



absolutely not. it is a LONG standing bullying issue at the org, and the reason why we have lost so many oldtimers.





absolute rubbish

if you think that's why a lot of people have left this site you're mistaken


No, it isnt rubbish. Since when are you the arbiter of what goes on here? Stop passing judgment where you are not qualified to do sp

stop being a hypocrite... what you're accusing me of is exactly what you're doing

finger smile you are, always have been, and always will be quite strongminded about *your* point of view. to the point where you visit threads, lift your leg, and piss all over other folks' belief system.

.

whether or not *you* agree with someone like, say, david icke doesn't change the fact that in this world plenty of other people do agree with david icke.

.

and because those people truly believe what they believe (icke, scientology, edgar cayce, jehovah's witnesses, mormon, buddhists, and etc.) then even when *we* feel such belief systems to be silly, our opinion does not open the door for us to commit a pattern of repeated attacks on those ideas and people who propound them.

.

as to the other issue, wherein you call my statement "you're trippin" again you are wrong. i know several people who have left the org due to frustration over the issue. some of my favorite people have left. and yet another who has publicly announced her intention of leaving. read up above, a bit. so, i care about this issue.

.

so please smile don't 'you' tell 'me' i do not know what i know, that is simply ridiculous on the face of it wacky believe me when i tell you: you are not omniscient. just because the folks 'you' know have left the org for a different reason, doesn't invalidate what i said nor make me 'trippin' as you so kindly put it.

.

but hey. but this is pointless. we've been dancing this dance for a while now eh?

.

and a one two three...

.

a thread is created, you hate the topic and show up to make it an issue, i defend the OP's right to have an opinion that differs from yours, you get personal, attack the idea and those discussing it and off we go sigh

.

you and i don't need to cover this ancient ground one more time. i feel we must agree to disagree. and it is the here and now example of this exchange and other exchanges like it which make it impossible to continue a discussion.

edited for diplomatic reasons smile

.

.

.

MrBliss' posts cited below, note the derogatory language used and scornful dismissal of another orger's ideas:

All we have to do is look at those Madonna-Billboard threads and see how conspiracy thinking is fueled off of illogical sensitivity. It shows a really bad side of the human 'thought' process.

yep... it will be interesting to see how many people who jumped to those conclusions will be willing to wear it

my guess is the sound of crickets chirping, or excuses and justification will be the go-to for most

that's true, however, at the end of the thread that issue was cleared up BECAUSE of discussion about it. that is, had we not had the discussion, the rumors would have remained as 'truth'

The thread was subject to complaint and removed.

We are asking for users to exercise some common sense and show respect, given recent events.

An autopsy has taken place and investigation results are awaited.

Posting multiple wildly speculative / nonsense comments achieves little to nothing whilst more information is awaited.

If there is information about Prince's death, please post in the relevant sticky that has been created:

http://prince.org/msg/7/423528




.


with all due respect: if you were to strictly enforce what you said above, the "Prince Knew He was dying" threads MUST be locked. it is somewhat offensive, speculative and based on mere conjecture. why is that thread still going, please explain? is it merely because no one has "complained" yet?


.


i'm interested in your response when i bring to your attention that there are even more titles that also do not adhere to your standards set forth above.


.


to be perfectly clear, for myself i have a live and let live approach to thread topics. i rarely report threads. i simply stay away from topics i know i won't like. i personally find nothing offensive in the topics listed below and i list them merely to make the point that the above-listed standards seem to be enforced according to bias and/or random oversight.


.


for just a few examples:


.


How Depressed Was He About vanity?- pure speculation. gossipy, none of our business. offensive. violates standards set forth above.


Was Prince Totally Bonkers? One Song? - insulting, inappropriate labeling of prince for this time. violates standards set forth above.


Was Graffitti Bridge Really That Bad? -insulting, based on childish personal assumption and assessment. biased, negative labeling of prince. violates standards set forth above.


Did Prince Have a Terminal Illness? - pure speculation. many offensive rumors posted therein. inappropriate conjecture. violates standards set forth above.


Prince Knew He Was Dying - Say Who? - more pure speculation. inappropriate and discussion based on conjecture. violates standards set forth above.


Pink's Unfortunate Encounter With Prince. - since when is hearsay accepted? violates standards set forth above.


Did Anyone Have Any Premonitions or Gut Feelings Prior to Prince's Death? - again, mystical supposition/fantasy speculation based topic. violates standards set forth above.

Yes.Thank you. That's why I was surprised this thread was locked. It was started because we were discussing how the timeline seemed odd. It wasn't sinister or nonsensical like the above topics you mentioned. If somebody doesn't like a topic move on. Don't report it...

^ it's all good. overall the moderators here do a great job and i'm grateful.

.

these past weeks have been turbulent and i think it's best to ease up and just relax about the issue of 'free speech' on a private website. smile sigh it's not up to us. lol even if we feel like the org is 'ours'

.

i guess i'm finding prince's death hard to accept so i personally welcome off the wall discussions on topics involving conspiracies i think he would have enjoyed.

.

but if others are truly offended by our discussion about conspiracies and etc. then we should probably stop rose
