I agree with U SquirrelMeat but your sense of humour is very funny and smart and hard to match. That's the Ultimate compliment. The quality of the post of the lack of quality reflects the hard to obtain combination of wit and intelligence and humour. That's my honest opinion. Your avatar is hilarious. Props to the Squirrel


So true.

Squirrelmeat and also Novabrkr and CalhounSq.....they always make me laugh. cool
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Interesting. But the only reason I could see the thread being considered condescending would be if you found the subject matter to be realistic.

In other words, you agree that the threads are possibly shallow, but you look down on me for pointing it out?

You "livened it up" by supporting them? wink

I agree with you whole heartedly. I'm all for fun threads too but damn near every thread disolves into a post a picture or a "he's so sexy" drool fest and it gets old, and I'm a female saying this. It was suggested we have a age limit for joining the site. I'm all for that too.
Heck I'd even go with making a new forum for young folks and new fans so they can go to town posting the same damn 62 pics of the man over and over again thread after thread.

:::Grumpy old fan ::::


What was the age limit?!?!?!?!? Alot of us posting these fun threads are over thirty....


lol lol lol lol lol lol

I agree that some may b considered 'shallow' as u put it. I just don't agree with the name callin and finger pointing u used 2 reinforce ur point.
We can't all b as critical of Prince's work and/or as intellectual as some make out 2 b.
What was the overall aim of this post anyway? U want something changed?

Name calling and finger pointing? Sorry, I hadn't realised I had, could you point it out for me?

As far as the overall point was concerned, are you saying you can't work it out from the title of the thread?????

please! I think you're exaggerating just a bit squirrelmeat.
it ain't that bad. fer crikey like Prince don't take enuff abuse?...let some positivity flow will ya!
I too have noticed quite a few new (some younger) fans since the SB performance. It's a good thing! let them love him! why you gotta callem names and speak derogatory about it?
geesh!


Where did I do that??

I pointed out the negative direction which I thought the forum was heading, but I went out of my way to not single out individuals.

I simply posted a comment about how i thought the forum was heading down a very shallow avenue. Looking at the resposes, it seems a great many agree with me.

As I have always said, I'm all for new fans, just as long as they bring a brain with them.

wink I'm still lost. The "threads" I pointed out are obviously paraphasing, I didn't single out a orger anywhere.

So where did I "name call and finger point"?

By the way, has anyone else noticed that even this thread is turning into a general discussion between four or five current regulars and is being totally forced away from its original intention?

You had to know that this thread would receive some negative comments. Some people actually enjoy the threads you mentioned, while others believe in giving all Prince fans free speech on this board. It's one thing to be upset about offensive threads that cross the line, but the mods do a good job of locking and removing such threads. Also, just because someone starts a thread pertaining to Prince's physical appearance, it doesn't make them shallow. There are many aspects of Prince to enjoy, as he has built himself into the ultimate entertainer. His appearance is all part of his image, and he has many sexy photos to show for it.

I understand frustration with redundancy, but there are many topics that have been beaten to death here. The best way to counteract this is to create unique and interesting topics. With no breaking news in the Prince world, it's difficult to do at the moment. Just wait until the new project hits. You'll get a front page full of locked posts redirected to one gigantic sticky instead.

I can't wait...

Billiantly put. Much better than I could. However, I starting to think that the problem is not the thread content, but rather the hole in the lives of those who feel the need to post constant bollocks.

I'm getting shot down after several comments, yet no one is actually proving I don't have a point. Its like I touched a nerve and the those affected are hoping I'll vanish before they'll ever have to own up to their no existant lifestyle. Usuually that follow everything with a STFU!!!!

I saw in your original post that you were really asking why this was happening. I guess it's just slow times man. That, and the fact that it's spring, and you know what that does to people...

True. You are what you type! Typing after 2 bottles of wine is a bad idea! biggrin

While we are pointing out the obvious, can you check back on your posts to find out where I was "condesending" and where I made a point of "name callin and finger pointing "?

I've looked back, and I can't find a thing?

I've totally missed out on this thread and I haven't read all the pages of this topic so forgive me if I sound like anyone elses post. I've been a member here since 1999 and I will say that it's been slow in the Prince world lately and when nothing is happening in the Purple Camp. as I call it, you'll see threads like "Prince has a Wonderful Ass" or "If I Dated Prince". It's always like that when nothing new is happening. For me, I'm here to see if anything is happening with Prince but if there is a thread that is mindless, for lack of a better word, I'll participate if I desire. If not, I'll go to another thread or go to another section of the site. I read what paisley16 said early in the thread and I agree that it's worst over in GD, in terms of cliques, but this has it's share too. It is what it is but I just think that if you don't want to participate or even read a thread, then don't go to it. It doesn't make you or anyone else any less of a Prince fan.

Just my twocents

Dude, we have been involved since the beginning, but do you ever remember a time when we were more surrounded by such a volume of half arsed worshipping threads?

Even in the great drought of 02 did we not witness such desperation! wink

Actually, no. If you want to accuse someone of something, you've at least got to back it up with some facts!? They can't work something out for themselves if they never said it!?

Quite simple, link the comment here"....."?

I'm not trying to be awkward. I simply don't like people making things up about me. Unless I'm completey wrong.
