If you truly meant no harm, my bad. But it seems that your comment was in fact directed to EVERYONE who didn't have something nice about the author of this thread.

Yeah but to make the rest of the org. endure her semi-intelligible musings on subjects she obviously has no clue about is what "irks" me. She can think she's the shit all she wants. In fact, if that's all her posts were about, I'd prolly fall in line. But she comes off as if her "thoughts" are so integral to the rest of everybody else's "fan-er-ship". Alot. And she needs to go practice her inane, elementary and laughable "writing" elsewhere, beacuse after all, NOBODY signed up for this.


AvramsDad, what is it that you find MOST irritating about Dreamypop? You don't have to disclose this here, if you do not wish (and taking into account others' feelings). Once you've worked it out, what is the opposite of that? I'm interested to know what the opposite of that is.

:cracks knuckles:

Okay guys, this probably will be my very last post on prince.org.
It is sad and unfortunate, yes. But I feel that it's something that I have to do.

When I lost Internet access in the middle of the summer, it has hard at first, but I eventually dealt it. I listened to the music on my own, developed on my own opinions... if I was around here when Planet Earth came out, I could have been "conned" into not like it cuz the overall dynamic was disapproval. I'm grateful that I love the album because it's a lot of great music.

Purplesweat, all I can say is talk to the hand
I haven't heard around any of my posts and suddenly you're coming with all of this. Go ahead and think I'm a nut, see if I can. I know for a fact that part of my sanity did go today nuts ...but it comes with supporting Prince, I guess. You can't be completely sane in order 2b so. lol

To clarify 4 those who haven't figure it out yet, I am female and this is me:
hug Prince comfort ...nothing but love. For him and his music

I want to continue enjoying his music on my own terms. I've learned a lot about him since I first got here and I got all the advice I could ever want about the albums that should be in my collection. I can take it from here. My album reviews are overlooked and I can't write threads like I used to. There's nothing left for me here, so I have no problem with leaving. Just maybe part of me is afraid that all of this negativity will get to me and turn me against Prince. I don't want that to happen, especially when I just got on the ride.

Thekidsgirl and SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy... thanks so much for your support, Send me an OrgNote if you want my email or the address to my blog. I was pleased to see you write multiple posts in the direction I'm going. Maybe I'll start an email list of my friends here and keep in touch that way. Sure beats the negativity here.

VegasE, I liked your posts too. Haha, I'm actually flattered that you think I could be Prince with the way I post. That's probably one of the best compliments I've been given (other than someone saying my poetry is as good as that of his Greatness). And my u/n is the best way I can describe Prince, note the dreamy expression on my avatar. And he's Pop Royalty... been around a long time, Pop is one of his many genres, and his name IS Prince, after all.

I've always been all 4 Love when it comes to Prince. I've rarely had a bad thing to say about him. Even now, I hold no grudge and I feel no hatred. I'll continue to lend my support anyway I can. I'll continue my blog posts.
Just 2b on the safe side, I'll print it all out tomorrow at the computer lab. That way, I won't have lost any trace of the 8 months of history Ive written there. [Edit: did so... 8 months= 101 pages of history. Even if the worst happens, at least I'll have a hard copy of my evolving perception of Prince]
I'll continue with whatever thoughts of him come to mind and review his albums. Just what I've always been doing, but on a smaller scale.

This is the mark I will leave behind and be remembered by.
hug
I love Prince and his music. I will always support Prince no matter the outcome of all this. As long as I have the music, nothing else matters to me. I don't believe Prince hates his fans. His actions say otherwise, but deep down, I know that he does care about his supporters. I know he is a good person. I made it officially by coming here and gaining whatever knowledge I could about him. And I vowed that "DreamyPopRoyalty will always have great Loyalty towards Prince"

He may never acknowledge me, but I don't care about that. Just in case he's watching, though, I praise him and pledge my support. Call this "blind devotion" if you will, call it whatever you want. Won't change how I feel about this man and his wonderful, beautiful music.

hug Prince

And I apologize for leaving my friends behind. But I will keep in touch with a bunch of you thru email. And if you want to stay in touch with me, send me a ORGnote and I'll give you my email if you want to talk.

Perhaps this is what he meant when he said, "All that glitters ain't gold" cool

These 9 months were just the beginning. I plan on sticking with Prince for years to come and he doesn't control me. I've taken this path on my own terms, by my own choice. And no1 is going to tell me otherwise. wink

[haha... you shouldn't be too surprised my last post is the one of the longest, perhaps the longest I've ever written]

Edit: One week from today, I will post a non-Prince topic under the General Discussion boards. Something personal so you know a little something else about me. The date has signifiance and it's not a birthday. But it is life-changing.
I may very well start posting here once everyone calms down. I'd like to add that I may have been a tad harsh on my statements. Prince is at fault because of this harsh approach, but the haters are more to blame for exaggerating things. That's the reason why I left in the first place, people taking something like removing pictures/lyrics/tattoos so seriously rolleyes

confuse Hmmm. I thought the post you quoted of mine was pretty succinct. But for the hell of it, let's try it like this:

Imagine I went to a symposium wherein NASA was discussing ways to make rocket fuel more eco-friendly.

Now, the only experience I've had with astronomy are the two special-edition dvds of "The Right Stuff" and "Apollo 13" I recently purchased. That and the book on astronauts my auntie gave me when I was 12. Which was 5 years ago.

So I doddle off to this forum (thesaurus in hand), and seat myself amongst a group of people who KNOW their space shit. The discussion begins, and I find myself dominating it with opinions based on the little knowledge I have on the subject. What I should be doing is listening and asking questions when I can't offer anything concrete. But I don't. Soon, a fraction of this group finds me rather annoying and tells me so. I stand up (in my I heart NASA t-shirt), thank them for their opinion and proceed to tell them of my newfound, yet profound, love of all things aeronautic.

While most appreciate my enthusiasm, some(including John Glenn, whom I don't recognize), are simply wishing I would leave. Again, I don't. Instead I offer to recite a poem;

the sky, the sky
apple of my eye
orange you going tell me your secrets
try as i might i could never keep it

Laughter AND applause!! They must love me!

Then the unthinkable. A breaking news reports that Canada has made it Mars. During the conferrence!! I'm crushed and "announce" I'll be leaving the states for a country that understands my need to go to infinity and beyond.

You're right, Avrams. Your original post was pretty succinct but I didn't want to assume what it is about Dreamypop that you find most annoying. Okay, given that we've established what that is, what in your own words would be the opposite of that which you find most annoying about her? Would it be, as you suggest, listening and asking questions when one can't offer anything concrete? Or is there something else that you would define as opposite to what irritates you most about her?

I came with certain objectives in mind:

* To learn more about Prince's career from those who've known him longer
* Find out which albums I should have in my collection
* To discuss his music and almost everything relating to him

I've gained a lot of knowledge in the short time I've been here.

But I didn't sign up for the disapproval rating towards Prince.
All of the bad mouthing over his actions is getting out of hand.

I mean, it's called a fansite, right? Aren't fans people who actually support and care about the output of an artist so much that they come here to discuss it and make friends who share similar opinions of said artist?

I look around here lately and I see few people who fit my definiton of fan, which is a synonym for supporter/admirer.

I'm not saying that I agree with the extents that he's going to in order to censor [and perhaps silence] fansites. But I don't think he really wants to go through all this trouble. Maybe he feels its something he has to do. They do say he is overprotective of his work, right? That's why he wanted his masters back for WB and got into the whole battle. This is probably the exact same thing, but on a far greater scale so more people are affected.

People claim that Prince owes them. I don't think he owes us anything. He has given us his musical gifts in album form almost yearly. Few other artists distribute that much material. They should be grateful he's at least giving us that.

Let me try and get this straight. I understand what irritates you the most about Dreamypop. I also understand what would be the complete opposite of that for you, which would be her not posting anymore. But I still do not understand what is the best thing for you about her not posting here anymore? What's so good about that? How does it make your world a better place?
