I'm not sure what you are referring to in Reply #46. I posted the article about WB releasing a new Prince album. Did I say something wrong there?
I never said this was a one-way street. I'm always open for discussions. I never push my thoughts or ideas on anyone. I will always respect other people's opinions, even when I don't agree with them. I will never insult anyone for having a different opinion than mine.
I seem to be a target for PhatPhuk, and I have no idea why. He insults people and makes fun of people on here all the time. It's one thing if you disagree with someone, but then to speak to them in a condescending tone or joke about their religious/spiritual belief's or whatever is just wrong. I'm fine with freedom of speech, but I'm not cool with insulting other's. Now, if someone is provoking me and personally attacking me, I'm not going to sit there and take it.
So, you don't believe that PhatPhuk's avatar and the fact that he types in large, bold letters isn't annoying to other people here? I mean, why do that, unless you are just trying to be annoying. There is no need to do that. Also, PhatPhuk has never addressed me, personally. He communicates indirectly with me, but I know he is referring to me in his posts. Strange behavior, if you ask me.
So, you are saying that I am not courteous to others? All I said was that there are some of us who are searching for answers surrounding Prince's death, and to please be patient with us, because some people were getting testy.
What untruths did you highlight above?

Well, since you've asked for clarification.... I was pointing out (I bolded YOUR comment) the fact that you have, indeed, enlarged, bolded, etc. text to draw attention to your post. As an example, I directed you to your Reply #46. Which includes the aforementioned manipulation. For the life of me, NO, I cannot understand how the way phatphuk chooses to display his posts would ANNOY someone. I truly don't. Why LET it annoy you? He is entitled to express himself in the way he sees fit, just as you are. I guess it simply boils down to how you interpret something. I CHOOSE to see the humor in his thoughts. Additionally, I don't think there is a standard all posters must adhere to/abide by with regard to how they display their posts on this forum. If you can provide a rule that details this, please point it out. Regarding the other post of yours that I highlighted...I simply asked that aren't the members, who are in direct opposition to your opinions, entitled to the same "patience" that you have asked for? We all have choices clover....I guess if you feel "attacked, "insulted" and/or "provoked", and you feel the need to respond, no one is going to stop you from responding; however, I would advise you to steel yourself for the potential ensuing backlash. Now, I am going to take advantage of my right of "choice" and go vote. I hope you have a good day.
I appreciate your response and the clarification. Yes, I do use the "bold" feature at times, as many of us do here on the Org, but I'm not using big letters, or changing the formatting of the text. Maybe you misunderstood the point I was trying to make. What I meant when I said "manipulation" is when someone manipulates (changes) what another person said. Some people will misunderstand another person's comment or manipulate what they said in order to change it's meaning. Again, I think you misunderstood what I meant when I said "patience", and I thought I clarified that in my previous response. You were the one who responded to my original post. My original post was not addressed to you. Furthermore, I never said I felt attacked, insulted or provoked by you. I don't know how much more clearer I can be with what I said. If you have an issue with me, then maybe you should not respond to my posts anymore. I'm glad you find humor in PhatPhuks posts; not everyone feels the same as you either. You have a good day, as well.

Okay, so since the Prince Death thread has been removed, are we supposed to post in here now, in the "Conspiracies" thread?
Examples:
Prince in a Pink Dress Prince should Embrace His Baldness, Is Prince still alive What brand of make up does Prince wear ? Has Prince Lost It? Anal Obssessions Illuminati >/\^V> conspiracies of Prince's deathI apologize to those of you who think I post too much or take up the entire screen with my replies. I happen to type very fast (I am an Executive Assistant by profession), and I learned how to type in High School. I type approximately 90 WPM. I am accustomed to working in a fast-paced environment, so I am quite comfortable with multi-tasking.
I enjoy having two-way conversations with people (not one-sided). If someone asks me a question, I will try and answer as best I can and reply in kindness.I don't post my comments in large, bold letters to gain attention from other's. I am simply responding in the format that this forum was designed to be used. I don't alter the screen image with my replies.
I have never considered myself to be "special" or better than anyone. I respect other's who respect me. That is how my Momma raised me.
I always respect other people's opinions here. I just don't get why some people here have to be so damn rude and cruel. I live by the Golden Rule and respect is a two-way street. Respect is earned, not given.
I hope I can stay around here, because I have met some really wonderful people here on the Org. But lately, it has been becoming increasingly difficult to deal with all the negativity and disrespect that I see on a daily basis here, not just towards me, personally, but other people here as well. It's certainly something that Prince would not approve of, nor be any part of.
For whomever cares, thanks for listening. Peace & Love! (end of your response) As Prince sings in "Wherever Yo Go, Whatever You Do....say what you mean and mean what you say"; what you meant to say and what you did say are two different things. You very specifically said "I don't post my comments in large, bold letters". Which you have done in Page 2, Reply #46, when you added this verbiage: "Warner Bros. promises previously unreleased Prince music". Looks pretty big and bold to me. You did not specifically speak to someone manipulating the meaning of words. You simply didn't. And, you did add this comment in your initial post on the previous page: "I apologize to those of you who think I post too much". That comment "those of you" included ME because I counted and noted it in phatphuk's post. I am pointing out the fact that while you have asked for patience, you are not extending that same courtesy to others. Hence, my patience comment. I'm glad you didn't feel attacked, insulted or provoked by me; I certainly don't look for ways to be mean just for the sport of it. I don't think you do either. That's all. The End.
