IOUSLY?! Can't be that irrevalant since u replied back anyways. And Umm... Proably because you said this:
LOL, yes seriously! So let’s see here, because I replied back with the names Dieter and Schaffel, somehow it is not irrelevent? Hmm… you’re stretching yourself into a pretzel with that one.
^Is why I asked you to name the others using Shaffel and Dieter as examples. How is that a trick question when u made it an issue by bringing others into the mix? SMH
Yes, I did say that but consider the context which was a GENERAL statement about the relationship between Frank and MJ, and MJ’s issues with people in his life in general. I did not bring others into it because I didn’t name anyone; you want those names so you can continue to go page after page arguing points we already know to come from you, so it is pointless and irrelevant to the discussion at hand, which is Frank’s book (which is what this thread is about, not your questions to get everyone off track), a book I’m still not sure if you’ve even read or just basing your opinions on excerpts other members have written or what you’ve heard in the web-sphere.
We know alot about MJ HIStory but, certainly not 100%. Especially when one gets to tell one side without the other whether it's their perspective or not because one will end up with what exactly happen when Frank decided to say such personal and some inaccurate things about MJ that had many not just myself confused because it became a contradiction of what we heard prior. How is that wrong to point out? And also You are now fighting with me because I don't agree with u, so go figure!
Exactly, as a reader, we have to take that into account, not come up with scenarios to fit our narrative, like the whole Friedman/Frank linkage. We have no idea if MJ knew or not Frank was Friedman’s mule that is just taking out of thin air, so why it’s even debated as if it actually happened is silly but you need to keep your fuel going somehow.
Those of us who enjoy the book have been saying from the jump that this is Frank’s perspective, the “such personal things” are only a few pages, you guys all act like this book is an expose and it’s not. Whether or not the information is inaccurate, Frank is relaying the information as was told to him by MJ or what he witnessed. Like I said, a few pages ago, there are some things Frank said about certain people that have me scratching my head, but I take that as Frank simply having a different relationship with these people than MJ, but I’m not going to continue to belabor the point by expressing anger and finding anything to discredit the dude, to the point of making up scenarios, to fit a narrative one has going on in their head.
Like I said before one has to know what they are talking about before they make their argument so for me to say the reason why I don't like that he shared personal things wouldn't make sense if I didn't know that he said now does it? When fans write to the media about hateful things or an article that they liked about MJ they have to know what they are talking about first don't they? Because how would u be defending ur point if u didn't point out what u liked about the book? So sorry ur point is lose there. Also I never said I hate Frank and the book. I simply said I don't agree with many if the personal ish he wrote in their about him and the people he associates with like Shumely and Freidman bother me. And that opinion won't change if I did or whether I will read the book. So I don't see how or why people will think so? I know many like urself postion on the book too yet, u guys still argue with other members like me too about it, so how are u calling me hypocrite then?! SMH
By the way I don't like to say "WE" because we are all individuals and don't won't to group everyone together as if we all share the same opinon cause we clearly don't. That's why I always say "SOME" instead.
No, you like discussing it, it’s that simple. You’ve made your argument time and time again, nothing has changed but you keep going. All of the controversial elements of the book have already been discussed, we know you don’t like elements of MJ’s personal life to be discussed, and we get that. However, some of these personal elements Frank was involved in and they’re his memories as well, and whether you like it or not, he has the right to tell them from his point of view.
And the difference between a fan who writes a letter to the media about what they did or did not like about MJ, they usually write one and keep it moving, they don’t come back day after day to a thread that is almost 240 pages, and continue to express the same thing. The fan would write a letter to Frank or his publisher and leave it at that, so it’s not the same thing. This is a discussion; the other is purely a statement. So, sorry you lose.
In regards to me, as you can see, I only have a handful of post, and I haven’t argued with anyone except you, at this point. In fact, my first full post was in support of Ivy over a month ago, then I just posted my second post last week and that was to disagree with Ivy. In fact, I told Ivy in my first post to give it up, she was wasting her time because she’s too smart and actually THINKS unlike some who have a mob mentality.
The difference between Ivy and others, and you: you claim to not like the personal information Frank, or anybody, released about MJ. I assume Ivy and the others like it, so that’s why they’re here 240 some pages later. You, if you don’t like it, why are you here? If I don’t like something, I stay clear away from it after I’ve expressed my opinion. They took the time to read the book, from what I can guess, you haven’t. If I’m wrong, I apologize but if you haven’t read the book and you’re the most vocal in this thread against the book, that’s not only hypocritical it’s maddening that you can participate in this discussion for pages and haven’t even read the book.
