That makes no sense to me. That's not community. And there is so much generalizing going on. There was just as diverse a group of people at the Club as there is here. It seems like people are ALLOWING the words of a VERY few to affect the way you view everyone else.Yes, some people are assholes. Some people ARE trying to be funny. Some people are just weird. Some people ARE straight crazy. Some people are religious to the extreme. Some people were, SHOCK! JWs. Is that really any different than here? And yes, I miss the Club too.  But it shall return. Oh yes, it shall.I agree with what you're saying. To rejoice the closing of the Club is just plain silly and wrong. Whether people like it or not, it is the official website and it had many many benefits. On the other hand, the other side of things, I think people who rejoiced was rejoicing not so much against the Club, but the fact that the one place where members of that clique felt they ruled the world, is now gone, I mean gosh, you gotta admit the irony in that. But no more hate from me, I've gotten over it, and I know some folks here who never joined, believe me, I think this time they will. All the better. Man, I can't wait.

I know I've been humbled because as much as I love the Org and HQ, I miss NPGMC already. [Edited 7/7/06 10:04am] Again? We are not arguing. At least I'm not.

If the statement is more then 3-4 lines of unstructured text, most of us realize the person doesn't know what they are saying or doesn't know how to say something so we just don't read it. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

NPGMC Member: 5 Years (Original member) 
NPGMC Name: GothamCity prince.org Member: Pre-NPGMC years - present day prince.org Name: feelUup The NPGMC members are here because we love Prince. We are not "slumming it" or crawling back. Most of us never left. We watched both sites. Unfortunately prince.org can't provide us with front row seats, Celebration tickets, or a handshake with Prince, but it does provide the close-knit, yet ever-profane family we just lost as NPGMC goes on hiatus. I am sure the club will return in another form, with a new life and new perks. When and how is the question! Good to see everyone! Alyssa sooooo you're slummin' it ...ok...yea, maybe. | |

I think the problem with you is that you and many others refuse to admit that there is a problem. The clique on NPGMC was a PROBLEM. It may not have been for you and a lot of other people, but consistently across the Prince online community, the feeling was the same. I agree with you that its not right to blatantly post people's usernames and spread hate, I'm actually quite sorry I did that myself, but at the same time you can't just say, oh there was no problem, it wasn't a big deal, or it was all in our heads.

a defense tactic used to avoid facing the truth by attacking you for pointing out their own poor behaviour 
and the more you hold it up in front of them to face one of two things will happen.. they will either be graced with divine intervention, cave in and see the light or they'll keep flaming
the miracle would be for them to say sorry i believe in miracles
we can only hope they will rise to the occasion in this lifetime  " the embassy shut to keep the fools out " - as above, so below. | |

Well I enjoyed the club and had fun had a few arguments made up with those people afterwards had a laugh about it, learnt a lot of new knowledge as well. I would laugh most days and I got 2 meet great people well worth joining in my opinion. There a lot of good people out there its been a joy conversing with you all. | |
