Enough is Enough

First of all..this BLACK and WHITE BULLSHIT has got to stop. not all of us can get along..but dayum...it really doesn't have to go this way...Most of the ppl on the forums are making me embarrased to fucking come here...rolleyes
Most of ya'll are insecure fucks with nothing else to do with your time than come on the forums, cutting, ripping, spreading lies and completely ruining the site for everyone. Ya'll wanna continue you're little games..fine. Do it somewhere else... My suggestion would be... GET RID OF THE FORUMS...PERIOD
Since ppl wanna act like children..let their TOYS be taken away...I'm sick of it. I'm sure alot of us feel the same way...if you want your voice to be heard..say it here!!!

Deleting the threads would only sweep the genuine grievances members here have under the carpet however. Breed further resentment. Like Eos23 said in other thread this site is heavily investigated since the coming of the boards...

So what do you suggest?

It sucks that I have to read a bunch of nonsense when I come on the Org. I'm just a hardcore Prince fan who wants to read up on the latest Prince news & read people's opinions on Prince & his music. But what I read are post after post of people just cutting each other down. Sad.

There is another message board I visit (non-Prince) & the people who run it have stated that anyone posting deragatory messages will be kicked off. And guess what? It works! Nobody cuts each other down & you can post your opinion & people respond to you in a civil manner.

It would be great if Prince.Org could be like that.

Vashti... they are FAR too ignorant to see what you are saying. Always looking for a spoon to stir the shit, like their own shit don't stink.

If the org shuts down, perhaps they can form their own webside, called www.ilivefornegativity.dumb

rolleyes

Discrimination... those who claim it, usually are those who breed it.

talk to the hand, cause the ears ain't listening

Ahhh, guess what? The news is clearly labeled on the front page, and is a seperate set of threads not accessed through the forum section. And even if you do come to the forum section, who's making you read a bunch of nonsense? We've all figured out not to open threads that don't interest us. Why haven't you?

Why don't you go there then? I mean, if you think it's great, and that's the way it is over there, why spend any time in the forums here at all?

some of you all really concern me...why do yo allow the stupidity that is posted get to you? NO..this site is not under investigation. No, you are not breaking any laws by making racist or stereotypical statements...


And NO!!! These forums shouldnt be deleted...

Get a backbone...Let it roll off your shoulders and get back to your business..(whatever business you choose to conduct here at the org).

I hope I dont sound too harsh..but some of you all act like this stuff is soo serious and meaninful to your life or our world as it exists...


DAMN ITS JUST A WEBFORUM!!! and if you want heavy...look at other sites that are out there...this place is tame...even with all the stupid recent racists/joke threads created...why not do what i did? deflect the attention away from it...at least then the poster (who is posting the stuff to get you worked up) will not have succeeded...

Kee..u know..ur right..it IS just a webforum..but I don't wanna keep coming here seeing "black ppl are ruining the org" all the fucking time...

When can we all wake the fuck up?!?!

Kee..i've ignored this bullshit for too long..and you know what happens when u IGNORE something..it's supposed to GO AWAY..but it never does..so instead of "letting it roll off my shoulders"..im gonna get a BACKBONE and say something...

Getting a backbone does not mean to ignore the bullshit around...getting a backbone...means DOING something about it... if ur gonna say "then why don't you leave if you don't like it"...then I'll reply..."im not the one posting these threads...putting ppl down..im not the one saying these negative things" I'm just tired of ppl that come here being hurt..and YES...sometimes it does..because it shouldnt be happening..PERIOD!!!
There's enough of that shit in everyday life..why should we have to come to a WEBSITE, dedicated to Prince..to see things like this...its ridiculous...and FUCKING WRONG!!!

Freedom of speech or not...It's plain sick & outright super sad & poor judgement on the part of those who created & run this site 2 just allow evil & hurtful things 2 run crazy on here.

"Take a true stand & stop trying 2 please everyone". Why have a great idea like the Org, 2 see it go out of control in this fashion?

I don't care if there is a lack of Prince or related news on here...Thats still no reason 4 some of these threads 2 "ever" see the light of day. Wheres the accountabilty & responsibility with this site?

I mean is having a free 4 all better then having a backbone?

Believe me, I don't go open threads that don't interest me. I know where the news is & I did write that I enjoy reading people's opinions. But a lot of times, you have to read through a bunch of bickering just to read the good stuff.

I think I made it clear that the particular board I was referring to is "non-Prince" so it wouldn't make any sense for me to go there for Prince news & opinions.

Aaron, you can't possibly tell me that you like all the bitching & negativity that runs rampant around here! But then again, some people do & I guess that's what they come here for. Who knows!

Just do what I do: I do not click on the threads with the words WHITE, BLACK, JW or JEWS. They're really boring. I've read this one because the topic is "enough is enough" and not White&Black or something like that.
Why can't we see us like persons instead of Black/White/Asian...

I'm following Prince since 1995 and I didn't realize he was black until I discovered the old org. I simply didn't care, for me he was just a person, a musician, not a black musician just like Eric Clapton is a guitar player, not a white guitar player and MJ is a dancer not a... (I'm not sure) dancer. smile

VASHTI, thank you for saying it. I understand how you feel.

And what scares me is that a topic with this title ["black people.."] -only think about this expression- appears on a public site and is obviously approved.

I guess the only thing to do if you feel really strongly sbout this is send an email to Matt or Ben or Val and explain how you feel. If enough people emailed them and told them then perhaps something may be done about it.

yes it it ridiculous...yes it is wrong...can you change it? Nope!! These type of fart posts have always existed online...ON ALL FORUMS!!! You will never get people to stop in an enviroment that is soo annonymous...in real life, theres accountability...on here, sure the persons thread can get deleted...and thats what I would recommend you do, report the thread to the moderator..They will delete the thread and everyone can move on to discussing prince or whatever the hell they want to...But by posting comments like the ones found within this thread only give fuel for the stupid to keep on being stupid...Perfect example: KellyAnne...IF you all didnt feed into her extremes, she would have went away due to a lack of attention..Instead, she got worse and worse and worse until her account was deleted...Well, you all could have easily avoided all the supposed pain she caused by ignoring her and reporting her to the moderators...

Its funny, you all complain about these types of posts...but how many of you actually use that spiffy function "report to moderator"?

U can say don't click on this or that...but a foot needs 2 B put down swifter & better. When I log in I don't even wanna see a damn "thread title thats offends". So more Org cleaning is at task.

And I'm sure many feel the same. I don't think thats asking much. That at least says some people do care & got balls 2 take a firm stand when something is just flat wrong.

delete the forums, or make sure all the bullshit goes.
Don't leave it as it is, cuz it would be a shame to see all the efforts that were put into this site go to waste.
