Re: [Prince-4ever] Website of The Moment [Day]

 

Thanks for writing Val. I am the one who posted this link and I found it humorous as well as jaw dropping. I've had a few problems with people flaming as they call it or just being rude and nasty. Calling someone a Purple Kool-aid drinker is not funny to me. I consider myself a hardcore Prince fam/fan. prince.org was the 1st site I found out about when I became a fan and started looking for on-line communities to share my love of Prince's music. I did not write the prince.org wikipedia article, I was just passing it along. I've spoke with your husband Ben a few times and the conversation was always pleasant (on-line). I still visit prince.org and interact but I keep a lot to myself because people do say things that are very odious. Thank you for responding and tell Ben, PurpleLove7 bka Purple Funk Lover said "Hi" ...

Good Grief! So sad to see this kind of stuff. 

I am Val, "some guy named Ben" 's wife... and I happen to be sure none of this crap is true. This has to be some kind of joke and is entirely unfair to the people that spend their time volunteering to help our website. (OH, and racism is tolerated??? NOT even funny to joke about since we are in fact an interracial and interfaith couple... ridiculous!) Keeping it going is not cheap, and we do this only for our love of the artist, the community and the love of the music. 

I'm not even going to get into it, but this is probably a disgruntled banned member trying to "get back" at one of the mods. I hope that it resolves itself soon. I hope you can still find the Org a place to enjoy and forgive the transgressions of this banned member. It's not something we take lightly, and we'll be sure to keep an eye out for similar things that harm the integrity of the community we've tried to keep going. 
*sigh*
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! 
Thanks for your time. 
Val
