that's not a shoot down. that's an observation. why is it that people who don't mind putting out barbs see themselves as a victim? i simply said while you keep finding fault with MJ, you keep observing him. since when is that a shoot down? you can shoot it out, but you perceive yourself as always being a victim even when you are not. that is another curious observation. nobody is shoving anything. plus you got my name wrong.
you notice, that while i find many occasions to be positive, i also don't see myself as a victim? this thread started out as a postive thing about MJ..they always end up being about you. can't we just focus on MJ? and, another thing..why is it that i can't see a thread that starts off as a positive MJ thread, and i have to dread someone like you coming on, and bringing a cloud? maybe this ought to be discussed in the concerns forum.
is it a crime, that, just once, i'd like to see a thread titled about MJ in a good light, and i and others can enjoy it, and MJ, in positive peace? there are plenty of negative threads.
if anything, you shot down the O.P.'s wonderful observation about MJ. that is the true constant. that's why we tend to have to come up with these 'light a candle for MJ' threads, cus we're constantly bombarded with negativity about MJ, inside and out. we're tired of it. it's gone on long enough. can't you see that?
Interesting, I put out a barb, but in no way acted like a victim, ah unless of course you are referring to the only other person to post a contradictory post to everyone else and actually offer a more balanced look at the topic, are they a "victim" because they knew they would be attacked for their opinion?
I do believe the praise only for MJ threads belong in Michaelmania, and that general discussion (which should bring about healthy debate) is discussed right here.
I don't see how this thread is about me as I had only shared two posts thus far, oh unless you are implying that contradictory posts are nothing more than the poster making it about themselves, a rather odd way of looking at things imo (
sounds like the rebel going against the cult how dare they?). As for clouds, the only cloud I bring is the cloud of disappointment that people like you react so forcefully to anyone who attempts to look at MJ in a real light. No one in this thread has been negative, rather just attempting to be realistic with the knowledge that they have. Note that realistic does not mean being negative.
I only shot down the fact that this is one of many threads on the same topic, all which are positive and for the most part agree with the general consensus that MJ is a savvy businessman. Pointing out the obvious is not being negative.
As for light the candle for MJ threads, don't make me laugh, everyone here supports MJ. The arguements aren't about being negative about MJ, they're about people trying to out do each other in discussions. I'm not bombarded in negativity on here, I see a lot of positiveness in most threads, I guess it depends on how you look at the glass.
Oh and I don't think I got your name wrong.
Zith thanks for your comment....see this is why I dont attempt to increase the number of my posts....and share my views..
I was amazed that after you admitted you would not have a popular view on the topic, that so many people warmly asked you to share your point of view anyway, and then when you did, the first person to reply responds with the "how dare you" attitude.
God Bless You!!
