Well, what difference does any of this make? None. It's all the same. People only react that way towards him because he's hurting their feelings and disturbing them. Here's some advice to those people: Feel a different way.

It's 10 kinds of codependence for you guys to need him to post a certain way for you to digest it. The Americans in the room can run along now and find something else to distract themselves with as our constitution expressly supports Jake's ability to be a complete dickhead to you guys and only the arbitration of the P.org Mods can change that fact in this medium.

TYVM!

You may have noticed that I didn't tell him to stop, or to post a certain way (I suggested that anybody could simply ignore something if they find it unworthy of being posted, which is clearly a fact). I'm only wondering what he gets out of coming across like such a dick, especially when it's usually on the most trivial and unimportant of topics.

You already know the answer. Its amusing, simply put, to prod someone who makes stupid mistakes. Or rather, some people derive amusement out of it. (I don't want to sound over accusatory when I say everyone does it. )

No problem, you didn't have to lie about looking on eBay, but I understand. You were just being defensive.

It's a common flaw many people have.

Dude, seriously, why are you such a complete and total asshole here? Does it make you feel good about yourself? Better than others? Because honestly, it just makes you look like a douche.

You say the very thing I wonder, but then I excuse it because some people are going to act that way. It was a simple question, and if no one likes it, move on with your life lol. Some people just like being that way, let them be themselves lol. I didn't lie though, I actually did go on ebay and the bids I saw, I wasn't down to pay lol.

But you shouldn't have to be questioned and called a liar regardless. It's just purposefully going out of your way to be a dick to somebody for no apparent reason. There's no legitimate excuse for such silliness. If he wants to be seen as a mannerless ass, cool. Whatever. Post away. I just wanted to know why he does it?

And all this, "because it was a stupid question" bs - get outta here with that mess. What is a stupid or pointless question to some people may seem a completely reasonable one to somebody else. Just because you've been on the interent for ten years doesn't mean everybody else has. Just because you would choose to do a specific web search to answer something doesn't mean everybody else is going to do the same. A simple comment suggesting you check ebay would have sufficed.

In short, there was nothing wrong with your post.

I thought he was younger than everyone.. oh damn, thats someone grown acting like that...

enough said XD he actually searched for it on ebay, I thought he was younger like 14... >_>.. well at the end of the day, no one gives a damn, obviously he does.. so, I kinda roll my eyes and say your post is more pointless than mine, you took the time out of your day to literally answer with some nonsense, you sound like the very thing you criticize. smh people are amusing, but let them thing what they want, a question is a question, if you dont like it stfu and move on with your life, because we will

Again, you're making excuses for people not having the impetus to educate themselves first. First!

You remove this first step and treat people like a child by suggesting this stuff in your post. Why? Do you not see the whole reason forums tell posters to lurk, search, read, and research before they take the steps to make a first (or any) post?? Why do you think those rules, on a message board, are now thrown out the window? Come on. Logic tells you this stuff and you are relying solely on the White Knight emotions here.

The more people take initiative and educate themselves, the better. Why allow for lazy minds to keep being lazy? That's entirely counter-intuitive.

What does it matter? It's really now that serious. Let it be because there is nothing wrong with asking people questions.

I don't get some of the people on this website, they really think they are that "special" to where they can speak on people. Seriously, let it go, I just think if some of you feel that way, go on about your day and let it be. Who cares?? is a simple question, you want to answer it go ahead, but you want to sit here and talk about everyone else, more like speculate to make yourself feel better and "more educated" then stop wasting your time. smh. Some people take this way to seriously, but hey its your world... >_> good luck.. if you still have something to say.. oh well.. you'll get over it eventually

I can assure you I do not possess White Knight emotions. And I can assure you I hate stupidity and laziness as much as the next person. I should think both would be clear to anybody who has spent any time reading my posts. But I don't believe in education through degradation, embarrassment or insult. It's wholey and completely unecessary, and a vast majority of the time it will only lead to the offense being repeated.

Everyone is different, and to assume that we are not is dangerous. To assume that everybody does everything the same way you (a general "you") do is self-centered AND dangerous. I don't believe that not doing any of the things you mention above gives anybody else the right to treat another Orger like shit. That makes no sense to me at all.

There was nothing wrong with the original post. There's nothing wrong with any post discussing the cost of ANY Prince product on a PRINCE website. And if the mods think there is you know they'll lock it. If anybody else thinks there is they have the power to ignore it. Right?

As I already said, all that needed to be done was to suggest the poster check ebay, which had already been done before Jake ever joined the thread.

Also, I really wasn't just asking about this thread, I was asking about the way he posts in general. My curiousity is genuine and I'm not ripping on the guy. I just want to understand why he posts that way.

That's just it - I'm not ON it, much less needing to be over it. You can post what you want, I don't care! I'm just clarifying the same thing that has been clarified here for years.

Jake is not new. Before people sat around bitching at Jake, they bitched at Ernest. Before that, they bitched at Bart. Before that they crucified Je-... You get my drift.

Eh, I'm just chattin' with Spin right now. Don't think we're taking it as serious as it reads.

I'm not namin' names - I think that's shitty, too. But I'm not comparing Jake to other orgers, because they're not even close to the same level. Anyway, I don't necessarilly think Jake means to come across the way he does sometimes. That's why I asked what his deal is.

Well, I see your point about everyone being different, but does that really apply to a case like this? It's a suggestion to keep things on a generally positive flow. I guess both sides could be (and have been) argued to death and I really don't mean to insinuate you are being anything negative at all. I've just never understood the want for trying to climb inside the mind of a troll when you know perfectly well why he's trolling cuz it's simple logic and psychology. You learn this in your every day life.

You give HIM too much credit by treating this situation like it's... Well, the curiosity about Jake in particular gives Jake the attention Jake wants. The fact I type Jake so much in this post makes Jake happy because now people are going to try to find out who this Jake is, click his profile, look at his picture, click his link, go to his website, listen to his music. It's free promo.

I'm suggesting these things, to seek the information out yourself first (general "yourself") because it makes -YOUR- life easier by avoiding any kind of trolling. Because let's be totally, brutally honest. If you need to go to a message board to find out the whereabouts of a disc on an online retailer, you're missing the point. GO TO THE RETAILER! lol.

Look, news in the world of Prince is slim pickins so there is no real topic to distract people and take their minds off of just how much they might not like another poster or clash with their personality, etc. This shit's gonna happen. Better, IMO, to protect yourself than not...

Hmm, all fair points.

I try to climb inside the minds of a lot of people because, honestly, that's what get me off (intellectually). I agree with you in regards to it supplying the attention certain types of posters may be looking for, though. So I have no problem with owning that fault (I'm fully aware that I don't come within a week long road trip of perfect, on a good day ). I shouldn't respond, but sometimes I just can't help myself. It rarely comes to any good. But rarely doesn't mean never, so I'm sure I'll do it again at some point in the future.

I agree with your suggestions (I think I've said as much somewhere in this discourse). I agree that, in a perfect world, everyone would do them first. But it's not a perfect world. And I don't believe that belittling or insulting someone is an acceptable response to them making a mistake or doing something differently than we would expect. I think that only adds to our imperfection.

Hell I got that for 5 bucks plus $2.00 extra shipping at eBay last. Now the prices are racking up there too for over 20 bucks. Ridiculous!

I would not say that it is ridiculous, it is worth what people are willing to pay for it.

The increase in prices more than likely have something to do with the increase in his popularity due to the recent run of US shows.

It happens all the time on ebay, an artist releases a new album and/or does a big tour, and the prices of not so easy to find items shoot up.

We have found ourselves a martyr...

Jakeasaurus said:

Oh my goodness First of all, thank you Spinlight for saying a lot of what I was going to say here, because now I don't have to. Let me attempt to explain myself... I am 22 years old and have been using the internet since the early 90s, when I was just a young kid. I am a big fan of the Internet, and I have been a member of many many forums over the years. One forum in particular, is the most successful Internet forum in history, and costs $10 for a membership. This forum has sub forums of every category you could possibly imagine, and then sub forums inside those. This particular forum has millions of members, literally, and is so successful because of the strict moderation of quality. If you post shit threads, they will be deleted. If you post more shit threads, you will get a suspension of your account, ranging from a week to several months. Quality is enforced in every regard, every single post is expected to follow certain guidelines and there are consequences and punishments, even permanent bans resulting in the loss of your ten dollars, for being a bad poster. This is what I'm used to. This is what I like, and this is what makes a forum good. The forum I'm talking about isn't the only forum to operate using this model, but it's certainly the most popular forum to ever exist. I feel that the moderation on prince.org is extremely lackluster, especially in the past year or so. Quality is not enforced or required whatsoever, and this bothers me a great deal. I take it upon myself to point out to people when they are behaving or writing inadequately, ultimately because I have this hope that every time I say something snarky, sardonic, rude, or just plain mean, it will somehow help. I guess I hope that the collective prince.org consciousness will begin to realize there is a need for a greater standard of quality on this website, and begin to fix itself. I dont really know what else to say, other than I wish I could be a moderator here. I know most of you probably think that would be absolutely dreadful, but this place would clean up quickly, and I am completely confident the quality of this forum would increase drastically. The threads on a popular Internet forum need to have the following things: A clear, intelligible thread title that accurately depicts the subject and contents of the thread A first post containing well written, well thought out content, and subsequently an invitation and plenty of room for discussion. Reply posts should have well written, well thought out content directly relating to the first post. Every. Single. Thread. Every single damn thread needs to follow this format. No exceptions. If a post doesn't have intelligible content, there should be a consequence so that the poster understand what they did wrong and has incentive to never do it again. Threads should never have a misleading title. Threads should never be created to express a one to three sentence statement with no actual content or room for discussion. Duplicate threads should never be created. Similar threads should never be created. Every single thread needs to contain distinctly different content from every other thread. Every reply post should be intelligible, relevant, and interesting. No exceptions, ever. I do not troll just to troll. I do not crave attention (yes, I enjoy attention, but who doesn't?) . I do not act this way out of cruelty. I am what I am due to knowledge and experience of the Internet, and what makes a good website. I just want this place to stop being such a disgusting cesspool.

Ok.

A reply to jakeasaurus.

But what about chaos? Tangents? All important aspects of communicating, especially for us agents of chaos. There is a time and place for serious communicating. But the hilarity of some threads count on chaos to bring some reality into this world. The world is made up of different people, the ORG does and I hope continues to reflect that.

OMG i just cant anymore

1. I like Cerebus...alot.

2. Jake...Dude its not that serious...Why do you feel you need to educate people. It is not your place to do so. This little speech of yours does little excuse you from some of the just plain assanine things you've had to say to people.

People that post on this site come from different countries and walks of life with different experiences and varied ages. Some may speak english perfectly some may not...I mean is that so hard to comprehend.

For the most part we are all here because we appreciate a musician called Prince. We are suppossed to have fun, learn new things and help each other. Yes people may write things you may think are silly or worthless but that is no reason to tear someone down so harshly or claim you are of superior intelligence or that someone has a mental illness. That is not necessary. If a teacher spoke that way to his or her students, he or she should rightfully be fired. I use a teacher as an example since you have appointed yourself the official professor of Prince.org. I will never understand this kind of behaviour.

A lot of you are so brave because you are sitting behind your computer screen. Is this how you communicate with people in your daily life. The superiority complex really needs to stop. This really is not about hurt feelings or whatever...its plain human decency and a little something called TACT.

1. I like Cerebus...alot.

2. Jake...Dude its not that serious...Why do you feel you need to educate people. It is not your place to do so. This little speech of yours does little excuse you from some of the just plain assanine things you've had to say to people.

People that post on this site come from different countries and walks of life with different experiences and varied ages. Some may speak english perfectly some may not...I mean is that so hard to comprehend.

For the most part we are all here because we appreciate a musician called Prince. We are suppossed to have fun, learn new things and help each other. Yes people may write things you may think are silly or worthless but that is no reason to tear someone down so harshly or claim you are of superior intelligence or that someone has a mental illness. That is not necessary. If a teacher spoke that way to his or her students, he or she should rightfully be fired.

Only a fool thinks he knows everything and a wise man knows he knows nothing at all, so you got your answer there It's not that serious and when you claim you know it all you don't.

Is this how you communicate with people in your daily life 100 % agree, some people use the "virtual world" to validate themselves and if that works for you.. hey good for you, but realize that you've never had the power, don't have the power, and NEVER will have the power to define anyone on here but yourself... it's understandable if you get frustrated, but it shows how much of a life, you really have if you have enough to come on here and do all of that lol. I have said my two cents and I am done
