Lately I have been reading so much hate on the org towards Prince, if you don't like the man and his music why do you come here? Seriously, If I was not a fan I would not waste time from my life and family to post hatred here daily! It's really starting to get old-then there are those who just troll threads looking for opportunities to make terrible comments towards other posters or Prince. It needs to stop-where the hell are the mods? Why does it always have to be like this here? I know we all have freedom of speech, but Prince has feelings as he said in his Tavis interview and so does every person who logs in here. Sorry, but it had to be said.

Amen. It is really is simple isn't it. I hate mustard so guess what?, I don't put any on my beef!, if i kept puttin' it on guess what peeps would say?!.

nurseV said:

I agree. I wouldn't take the time out of my day going to an artist's site that I can't stand. My time is too precious. For instance, you would never find me on a britney spears or lil wayne site because I can't stand them with a passion.

funkyhead said:

It just as simple-if you don't like the music or Prince-Don't post!

candy2277 said:

Exactly!! The moments in my life are to precious because they can't be replaced. I would never spend those moments spreading hate on an internet site.

nurseV said:

You are absolutely right. I don't understand how one comes here just to dog Prince and any fan who likes what he's doing. It boggles my mind. People are free to do it but then you can't help but ask "Why?" when they do. Then they'll get mad at you for asking. It's getting real bad in here. Like you, I can't even think of coming to a site for someone who I don't like. Hell, I like Madonna and her music but I can't think of going to a Madonna fansite cause I don't like her like that and I know I'll complain and be like many people are here with P and it's going to mess with the site.

NurseV, get ready for folks to come on here and rip you a new one for starting this thread. Just warning you. It may get ugly.

I agree Cam and I'm ready for the mean comments up in here too

welcome to the internet.

go to anyone's fan site and i guarantee you, you'll find a group of people whose sole purpose is to knock the artist down and complain about how they're not as good as they used to be, and how we're all victims and being treated horribly by the artist.

i don't know what that's all about.

yeah, i might not like everything prince does, but that doesn't make the 1999 album sound any worse to my ears. i'm still loving what i'm loving, and not letting the less-than-perfect stuff take away from what keeps me excited about prince's work.

Anxiety said:

Agreed. There are things that Prince has done that I may not care for and when that is the case I listen or watch something else. Even on here I may state that I don't like it and keep it moving, but I never come here daily to post ignorant, hurtful comments. That is a waste of productivity and time. Then folks wonder why Prince never let's say agrees to answer our questions-because it gets crazy here daily.

Perhaps, they feed off from putting down those who like Prince. They need an ego fix.
Prince is not gonna let that hate get to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as successful as he is today. Woot woot woot Prince!

U may be right-it makes their egos feel better

nurseV said:

Let's all of us who love Prince and his music continue expressing that love.

nurseV said:

It didn't really have to be said...AGAIN...as it's been said 500,000 at least.

This is not an official Prince website.

People have the right to say what they want. Mods will step in when it gets out of line. And let me clarify, negivity does not necessarily mean being out of line. If you notify a mod and they feel it crosses THE line, they will and do deal with it.

I do agree, it is a waste of energy on anyone's part to continue to find fault with something you choose to spend time on, but it's the individual's energy to waste.

Don't like it? Don't read it. Very simple. May not be the answer you want to hear, but just like you "need to say it" so do others.

Trolls are different from opinionated individuals, so don't feed the Trolls.

Not that difficult.

nurseV said:

Well nurse, when some of us aren't in this forum responding to these calls for our execution, some of us are doing things like this

http://prince.org/msg/100/305523

funkyhead said:

Here there is Mustard, relish, ketchup, chili, onions and more. This aint the only forum on this site and if someone doesn't like mustard they don't have to throw their hotdog in the trash because there are other toppings!

Fair enough

purplecam said:

It'll get ugly because none of you GET IT. It aint a choice of don't like it or leave. There is a whole world outside of this forum on this site and so your premise if fatally flawed to begin with. But none of you can think past your little talking point so this will be ignored and you'll still be saying the same thing

I see how is Grandma handling it?

nurseV said:

Awesome! She marched in a gay parade yesterday!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Very nice Supa

nurseV said:

I suggested that there be a 4-strike system...and if 4 are posted 2 ur account for...sharp cruel and distusting comments toward anyone.

I realize that is what the flame snips are primarily for...however...sometimes those very same people keep keepin' it up...

I do have 1 strike against me...but I would never get as mean as some of the stuff I have seen. Which wasn't 4 that reason I think I only got one or two flame snips and it was because of getting irritated with how someone was treating Prince, so I just let them have it...and I deserved the snip.

If it was 4...horrible cruel intended statements...kick em' out of the site for 6 months.

I agree and when I post an INTERESTING SUBJECT the mods lock it,but they allow people to say NEGATIVE things about PRINCE. What's up with that? Maybe the Mods agree sometimes with people talking anti-PRINCE!

Thank you NurseV!
We need some love around here.
This is the best Prince in years, IMHO.
Let's Celebrate Not Hate.

Nothinbutjoy said:

Exactly...damn!!

I always thought is was a place to get info and update. To critique's P's style of music here and there is cool. But that other stuff keep it to yourselves. As for the Mods, they know when to cease the unnecessary nonsense. And Nurse, I know you can hold your own in a respectful way. Don't let them get to you.

nurseV said:

thank for sharing this and the people that feel it is needed for mental hygiene
to say hurtful things expression is one thing but do it in a civalized manner
please thanks all

I feel you Nurse and I agree to a certain extent. It's alright to have an opinion about P be it negative or positive. But when you log into a site and on the first page all you mostly see is something negative that irks me. Secondly...say you are in a post and someone post something positive about P...here comes the haters with yeah he's doing good But.....[color=darkred][/color]

nurseV said:

Can't really understand it myself, I know when I first started to come here I was happy to find a site where I could share my love for his music with other people. Sadly I found a lot of hating going on here, fault finding in everthing the guy did. Silly in a way because no one is perfect. I really wanted to know how other people interpreted his music from a technical stand point as I am not a musician. I don't know what to make of it sometimes, is it jealousy? Who knows, it is really sad.
