PFU - we must all help

I encourage anyone who has contacts within the media to spread the word, any friends or contacts with the industry i emplore you to email or contact them and tell of the websites in question current plight.

We may even need to set up a legal fund to defend these great sites in a court of law...but let's hope it dosen't come to that, for right now we must bring to bare the maximum ammount of pressure on Prince whereby he has no choice to either back down or seek a compromise.

No, dude. Regardless of whether I believe the fansites or not, the publicity and hateful things said about Prince in the last few days is a horrible thing to do to someone.

The name calling, the references to his child, the racial slurs, the homophobic stuff...take your pick. I know PFU is saying they are not responsible for what people are posting but damn, at least moderate that stuff.

It's too easy to discredit the whole PFU thing with some nutcases and assholes that are too easy to find on the web, I'm sure that 95 % and more of the backlash have nothing to do with this hate, we're just angry and sad.

You know Squirrel, I can disagree with you guys and still consider myself part of this community.

To answer your question though:

1. I'm a Prince fan and I have made a ton of friends here because of that. Prince is the most important part of this equation to me because none of these people would be in my life if it hadn't been for his music.

NO WAY...the PFU advocates hate towards Prince...judging from the nasty and hateful comments on there, it's almost like that site is starting a "Hate Campaign" against him, and it is wrong to try to destroy someone's reputation or career just for your own sick and selfish needs, That PFU site is opening the doors for all kinds of crazy a$$ people making derogatory/defamatory comments, which could possibly cause harm to Prince's well-being, reputation and career and you are a part of that since you support it. Let's hope all that hate doesn't backfire on you or them. The administrators or owners of HQ, Prince.org and Princefams.com should have handled all this behind closed doors amongst themselves and not let it become the fiasco that it is turning into.

I hope you can sleep at night with a peaceful conscience, knowing that you are participating in trying to destroy Prince's career along with the rest of the haters.....and yet you call yourself a fan..unbelievable. disbelief If you were a friend, I wouldn't let your a$$ in my house or even near my front door.

What I can't understand is why you would want to participate on a community site if you don't like what the site stands for. Is that not plain hypocritical, regardless of the fact that there are strangely other here that think the same?

What does the site stand for Squirrel? I thought it was an unofficial Prince fan site.

Well, its a community site and it has always been fairly good at moderation and appriecation of copyright. Unlike sites like Housequake up until this year.

But if you feel the site you frequent should not be supported when it is attacked for allowing general free speech, I simply wonder why you come here?

that will be a NO. what is done is done, news is already out there around the world, so why advocate the need to push more negativity and hostility towards this man? why? it's already done.

now that this blew up, it's time for a positive solution and good ole funk music.

Who are they traitors to....the Org? I thought they/we were Prince fans who come to the Org is discuss Prince, not The Org fans.
Maybe I misunderstood... confused

I mean this is a great site, but at the end of the day I am a Prince fan regardless of whether I agree with all the decisions he makes!

Traitor to whom? I owe that effort -- and the people connected with -- exactly nothing.

If I got involved in that mess, I'd be a traitor to myself.
