prince has got a lot more sucking up 2 do.
a mature apology/response would b the decent thing 2 do. PFUnk - seems as tho he's making light of it all... not really good enough

for a while now, i have been observing Prince get dissed left/right/centre, not only here, but at housequake as well. i have been asking myself, if people hate prince so much, why not totally dis-associate themselves from any site related to him, his music and anything he does. but instead, these forums have become places where the above category of individuals get their thang on.

in now way am i suggesting that critisism of Prince is wrong, it's just that you're either a fan or not, a supporter or not. the way i see it, Prince.org is also becoming a haven for Prince haters...and I have also been here since before 2000 (in different names).

i can understand why Prince also got pissed. the man played 21 shows in London, the man is releasing videos on a weekly basis, the man is releasing almost an album a year, plus extra songs...and just because he won't allow "fans" to use his image, etc at free will - while they diss him and express all forms of hate towards him, he comes out as the villain? NO.

for years Prince allowed ppl to post images of himself here and elsewhere, but once HE starts feeling unappreciated (yes, the hate), why should he continue to do it? personally, i don't see why. in the future, true fans could start another site FORBIDDING the hate, and I'm sure Prince would allow years of sharing his image, etc...but until that day -

enjoy what we had - because the haters are the ones who caused the problems, greediness, etc. THEY want to tell Prince what to release, how to release, that it's okay for his material to be bootlegged and sold by them. LOL.

maximum respect to Prince.org and the other "big 2" for keeping us up to date, etc...but, Prince does not really need this site. believe it or not, there are other fans out there who will continue to support him and he has the know-how and vision to keep new listeners hip to his artistic creations.

thx for listening, and please dont take this personally.

he doesn't need to suck up to any one. in fact, he's shown prince.org
who's in control of his image and art, and it surely is not the moderators, otherwise images, etc would still be there. For what should he apologise?
...not spoiling certain individuals who exhibit behaviour of brats when they cannot do what they want in any manner they want? or, for not allowing his image on a site where he is slandered because of protecting that which is rightfully his?

a mature response 2 all the recent goingsss on wud b good

& then he can thoroughly cheer us up with some good tunes, i reakon one a day 4 the next month shud do it

prince is fighting to protect his copyrighted material and i support him in that.

i also support the ORG, as far as free speech goes.

i do NOT support the open hatred of prince, the flaming and name calling that 's been happening on Prince.ORG lately. that part really bothers me.

imo folks need to sit down and wait this out, find out what is going on behind the scenes, the actuall facts that none of us know in full, instead of becoming all angry and hateful. just my 2c

I LUURVE THIS!!!
A big thank you to you Prince

and a big to all you haters out there.

Now leave 'THE MAN' alone and let him do his thang!

Prince this is for you -



My opinion on this subject has not changed since I posted this in another thread earlier.
Prince - I just love you, you make me smile!

i agree, though part of me wants to offer that just as we need to be patient with prince's camp and the fan site webmasters in getting this all cleared up, we must also be patient with EACH OTHER as we all deal with our anger, confusion, disillusionment, etc., etc. - we all process in different ways, and while, yes, certain expressions are just out and out inappropriate, a lot of the heated feelings people are expressing are completely fair.

i will ask people again to please post with civility and common respect.

BUT. we're all going through this thing, no matter what our opinions, because we all like the same music. in a way, even the people we disagree with the most on here are our peers and allies on SOME level, like it or not.

PFUnk is dope!

Can it be downloaded?????
