wonder505 said:

There will be MASS reality on this thread.

wonder505 said:

Not true because the only thing I hate about Prince is his sad ass business practices, especially when they concern his fans.

You best to get scrubbin that Tub Christina!

DesireeNevermind said:

Just one...so what does a brain on the purple kool-aid look like?

I love Prince and will always go see him when he's playing Europe. But really, some of my own family act like assholes sometimes, i call them out.

Why should i give Prince a pass if he acts like a tit at times? i like a lot of his music and as a performer, but that's it. I'd never live the gospel according to any performer i happen to like or admire.

I'll say what i see fit.

TikiColadas said:

Is he above criticism with you folks?

if so, why?

See with me, he made light of cancer at the end of P.F.U.N.K. and that really disgusted me as a person who's nearest and dearest was touched by that disease at the time.

If he was stood in front of me first time i heard that, i would have punched him out, i was that mad.

The word 'hater' as tacky as it sounds is basically i think Someone who regardless of what you do to please or what ever you do thats positive they always has something negative to say or gives such unnecessary input. ALSO who fair enough says they're giving their opinion BUT the critism isn't even constructive

Marrk said:

calling prince out does not make anyone a hater. To me the haters are the ones who obsess over him yet never have anything positive to say whatsoever. Its the extreme opposite of a fam. at least that's what i observe.

To a hardcore FAM (what a fucking stupid word...) a "hater" is anyone who isn't on their knees, ready to lick Prince's asshole.

No criticism and no questioning is allowed. Hell, if you even so much as say the Typhoon was a silly hairdo, some FAM will be popping out of the woodwork to scream at you for being a hater.

a Hater is ANYONE with a deep sensitivity to hearing the glorious Truth.

I would agree. And it seems like the "haters" are just negative to be negative and upset people (if they have a point or don't have a point). I don't think it's right (what the haters do). I also believe that the people that act like they are the greatest fans ever and Prince can do no wrong should at least recognize some of the new power mess ups. If someone is critical twoards something like the CB fiasco they have good reason. And actually I know Prince wasn't always happy with the performance of the NPGMC (the tickets being scattered at some of the shows).

yourarrogancehaskilledyou said:

You really have no clue. Even this thread is biased, looking for the "fam" opinion of what a hater is. "Fams" want to hear & will accept only one side of anything: Prince's side. In your eyes, the man can do nothing wrong as a businessman, every note he commits to record is the greatest gift you could ever receive & you generally think he is the second coming of whatever god you believe in.

Haters may be negative from time to time, but at least they also leave room for objectivity & open-mindedness.

There's two sides to the coin.

viewaskew said:

indeed viewaskew, there's two sides to every Penny.

here's the other side; one you may not be altogether familiar with..

your opinion doesnt matter.

nor does anyone else's opinion on this site

in regards to Prince's work, his art, or how or why he makes the decisions he makes

see, you, and others like you, live under the illusion that the energy you spend here

saying whatever you think to be true or false about Prince

is somehow relevant.

you and others like you, claim exlusive rights to voicing your opinions

under the disguise of freedom of speech

and how Prince, as an artist, should be open to listening to your view

because apparently, you know better than he does

whether you do or you dont

a hater, is anyone with a deep sensitivity to hearing the truth

and that truth my friend is:

your opinion affects nothing.

Prince will answer to his maker, not you

on anything regarding his music, his business ethics, his methods..

So you see, you're just another cog in a very noisy wheel

and sorry to say

but noise is just noise.

nothing more.

maybe if all the ass-lickers and the 'haters' tended to their own lives

as much as you do to Prince's

you all might begin to see something very important.

no one here, including the mods,

has any power whatsoever

over Prince's life.

this little community is founded on supposedly being a Prince fan community site

"unofficial"

but what exactly does that mean?

to provide a space through which multitudes of people can speculate

over the life and music of one man?

is that all?

oh there's other forums i know

where people get together and talk about other music

and who they fucked last night

but lets be honest..

is there really a point to any of it?

what function does all this talking serve?

noise.

if you and others like you, and others the opposite of you

wish to voice your opinions on Prince

good or bad or somewhere inbetween..

know this:

they dont matter at all.

if you like his music, buy it.

if you dont, dont buy it.

any simpleton can understand that.

unless you are simpler than a simpleton?

and others like you and the opposite of you are simpler than simpletons too?

that my dear is the glorious truth

and i am absolutely certain

that you

and certain mods

and certain members

will have utmost sensitivity to hearing it.

do enjoy your evening now won't you?

My opinion doesn't matter? No shit. Neither does yours. Yet you sure waste a lot of space expressing it. You, & others like you prattle on as if it does. As if your ability to state the OBVIOUS is if some major revelation. As if your opinion is any more relevant. It's not. No matter how much space you place between your nonsensical attempts to dress us down.

Yes. There are different levels of fandom. No shit. There are people who prefer the Prince of old to the watered-down, self-censoring has-been he's become. There are people who feel that his latest work is superior. There are people in it only for the music & live performances & there are people who care about who he sleeps with. There are people who replace the letter e with the number 3 because he's done it once...

And then there are those, like you, who think by stating the obvious that they're expressing something profound. Those who hide behind the notion that the opinions of others do not matter, rather than stating & defending one of their own. Gutless wonders. You're either completely ignorant or you've missed the point that if more people adopted your approach there would be no point to discussing anything. This is a DISCUSSION forum.

I have never claimed exclusive rights to anything. Do not EVER put words in my mouth. You can bet your ass I have a right to free speech, as do you, although I just choose to use it more effectively & less like a sycophantic lemming. I'd rather be considered a hater than lack the ability to think for myself or the spine to stand up for what I feel.

And lastly, "dear," you & I are not friends. We never will be, so do not waste my time with your shit. If you don't like what I have to say, do not read it. It's a fairly straightforward approach & might help you enjoy your evening.

Now, take a deep breath & get back on your medication.
