U know....it's a pretty sad state of affairs when somebody posts on Facebook how openly hostile and catty people of the .org have become.All I had 2 do was come in2 this thread 4 her 2 b proven RIGHT !I've been visiting this place since the early days of the PPML in the mid-90s and truly felt like I was part of a family back then.We used 2 sit up all night and crack each other up in the chatroom.When the errant troll would come wandering through....we would all deal with them accordingly and the mods would handle them without incident.Now...I wouldn't send my 17 year old daughter here without an armed escort.

Most of the mods seem 2 think they work 4 Prince himself and r SO concerned about people discussing bootlegs and such that they lose focus on more personal attacks on people by the absolute dregs of the cyber -society.All the smarmy comments and callous responses were childish when "Bill" the troll popped in2 the chatroom under 1 of his many aliases 2 bash Prince and everybody involved...and it seems as though the practice is still alive and well 2 this day in the forums and chatrooms.This place has REALLY lost its way when somebody logs in looking 4 friendly conversation because they r out of work in a down economy and some random jizz mop calls them a whiny C*%T who should jump off a BRIDGE !! This is NOT how things should B !!

If ur a MOD....how about handling these guys with the same vigor u go after people discussing bootlegs or YouTube videos!!!! In this day and age of anti cyber-bullying campaigns...it would really go a long way in helping bring this place back 2 the way it used 2 b.Matt and Ben obviously chose u 4 a reason.B part of the solution instead of acting like it's not a PROBLEM !! I gave up on this place YEARS ago because of the lack of response in dealing with trolls and cyber bullies.I guess the more things change...the more things stay the same.Get ur freakin' ACT 2gether and eliminate the riff-raff that's been mucking up the works 4 so long.Maybe then...this place can return 2 its 4mer glory and u might gain a little self respect and pride in the process.

Nobody is bullied here. Flaming and trolling is dealt with if reported or just put down by more intelligent posters. I think you're being unfair on mods who can't be everywhere at once.

Discussion or debate can entail more than one view point, and i'm so glad it does.

Other than that, get a thicker skin or log off.

I expected nothing less with the caliber of the majority of responses that were posted.

"WAAAAAAH..."

"Get a thicker skin..."

"Log Off !!"

Point proven

I've been visiting this place since the PPML days too. It wasn't ever all that pleasant an experience. I'm not sure what fantasy world you were living in. It's been 15 years. Get used to it.

And THEREIN lies the problem.I'm a member of several online communities...not just Prince related.

And NONE of them have been as cannibalistic as this 1 has been.

Who said I lived in a fantasy world dude ???

I'm not a child !!! I KNOW that life is cruel and the world is a cold place.

YES...I'M AWARE IT'S BEEN 15 YEARS !!!

NOBODY should have 2...as u so ELOQUENTLY put it...."GET USED 2 IT !!!"

I guess the victims of the Holocaust should have felt that way back in World War II right ???

Or the persecuted minorities in the days of segregation !!!

Everybody should go and sit in the back of the bus and take their whuppin' like a big boy/girl and GET USED 2 IT !!

SURE.....NO FLAWED LOGIC THERE !!!!

Granted those r extreme examples....but that was the mentality of just accepting that the way things r just the way things r !!

U can bury ur head in the sand if u want 2...but that's just not acceptable 2 me.

you're comparing this to the Holocaust and segregation? you're off your fucking rocker.
