I'm not so sure that they are using criticism to their advantage. I think they are only hardening toward it. It's clear to me that they lurk on Prince.org, as they should because this is the only site really discussing their work. But it's strange they aren't openly posting. FDeluxe and O7ven communicated directly with the fanbase here. Prince and The NPG clearly hide in the shadows. I am positive it's because they know we don't like much of what they do. I think even they aren't turned on by much of what Prince puts out, but can't admit it because they work for him, hence the gushing posts and false praise from Shelby and others.

I don't think its unusual for people who work for Prince to not post here. This is generally a hostile place, Prince-wise, but an ass kissing place for associated artists like FDeluxe, O7 and especially Wendy and Lisa. the same way you feel about Prince andLarry' s music is how I feel about most of the associated artists music, yet whenever I'm honest about it, people have an issue. I could see why they feel more comfortable posting here.

Good points.
