It's a long response, but I figure I covered all grounds.

Well one thing that can be said about me is that I don't go insulting people for what they believe, as long as they present themselves properly. You on the other hand like to put people down and try to act superior. So here's a news flash, people don't like that type of arrogant behavior. You come across as someone who thinks he's such an intellectual and so above everyone else. Aren't you sad to be that way sometimes?
Read your post to me here and apply it to yourself. There are two things that appear to have bothered you on this thread:

1) Firstly, when I mentioned I thought it was disgraceful how Muffy was treated at the worst of times. That comment was not directed at anyone but it seemed to strike a nerve with you. You commented in response, "Muffy however had started talking shit in response to my threads so I lost all respect for her...No one in their right mind would write the things she does. She's sickly obsessed with Prince to the point of being a stalker...I just hope she gets the right medication to fix the problem."

I clearly remember seeing you and her on one thread where you called her out on her delusional, obsessive behaviour, afterwhich you pressed her on sending you movies of her performing sexual acts? If you were accusing her of being delusional, I assume you believed so. Why then would you entertain the idea of sex with her? Were you just fucking with her? Was it fun for you?

2) Secondly, you seemed to respond in a 'FAM-like' manner when I mentioned how I thought you were a FAM. You've already said on this thread that you've purchased 95% of Prince's albums, that you've been to his concerts, that you still download his latest 'shit'. I said you still care, and that your interest must come from love, so I concluded that you were still part of the FAM. You said that my theory was wrong because you don't pay for your material. I said it doesn't matter what your purchasing habits are. The fact that you're still here doing what you are doing, means you're still very much part of the FAM, and that that's cool. You've commented in response, "It is an insult to be called a Fam cuz Fams are idiots, but since I'm not a sick Prince freak, I'll be just fine...It's a scam to keep fans loyal...I think the Fams are the ones who continue to spend their money on poison just cuz they need to keep the collection going...And anyone who calls themselves a "fam" is obviously a little off balance on the tightrope of life. He may be a musical genious, but he's an idiot otherwise...And what's more, I don't think even Prince himself would want me in his crooked little FAMily."

Can you actually hear what you are saying, and the manner in which you are saying it? It seems that you're investing your energy in things that you don't enjoy anymore, and that your convinced no one else in their right mind could possibly find enjoyment in what you don't. Why? Because you're really a true FAM in denial? Because Prince has crossed your values in worshipping Satan? I don't know, I don't actually give a fuck, but I never said thare was anything wrong with being a FAM; you're the one convinced there is. Here's a summary of FAM-like behaviour provided by Supernova which you appear to fit into:

FAM: the word many self-descibed naysayers have come to represent without consciously realizing it by way of continued, support: (i.e., adding traffic to Prince sites religiously/continuing to buy expensive concert tickets to see Prince live, although the rain check on complaining about the prices will be cashed soon//planning on telling the online Prince community how he's lost "it" and will never get "it" back/self-righteously coming back to the online Prince community to call others "fams" who don't neurotically dwell on sweating the small shit, or put themselves into position to be used, abused, taken for granted, shunned, spit upon, receiving Prince's symbolic flipping the bird gesture/thinking because you are a fan-fam you have the right to dictate what Prince should believe on a spiritual or religious basis because of the content of his music/giving the impression that you've been used, abused, taken for granted, shunned, spit upon, received Prince's symbolic flipping the bird gesture, yet coming back...so the cycle can continue, etc.).

CONCLUSION: EvilWhiteMale is a FAM.

Errm...nothing, cause I ain't no FAM? rolleyes

I really stare down those people who call themselves fams because it's like they're better than fans Come on now, we're all very fond of Prince, so what difference does it make?
It would be the same if all the butt-kissing NPGMC member would call themselves bigger fan than those who ain't in da club.
Childish, eh?

Fam-tastic, how Anji and EvilWhiteMale keep bashing at each other!
shoot2 shoot3

And all that because P wanted something else in stead of the abbreviation of 'fanatics'.
If it gets any more entertaining, I'll be calling myself names very soon!

Having given me "1999," Prince can call me whatever he pleases. I'll pay attention to him until the day I die.
