This is my last post here. I am unregistering from this forum.

This community, which had been a refuge for the past few months, has been turned into a mental ward.

All these crazy conspiracy theorists...and their constant bickerings/attacks/propaganda/accusations have left me exhausted.

Some people have embraced these crazy theories, the same way they have embraced the propaganda pushed by dissidents in the Jackson clans (Karen Faye, Randy Jackson...). It might be their way of coping with their grief...albeit an unhealthy way.

So, I hope you all a great life, and keep supporting MJ's legacy..in a positive way.

Farewell.

PS.. You guys are just to sweet. Really...It's very nice of you all.

I decided not to cancel my membership here....you guys are great.

Hey sweet.

I agree wholeheartedly that there are sections of this forum that you may not want to visit. It hurts to read a lot of what is posted; there is a lot of speculation and conspiracy. There are also some biting remarks made that aren't pleasant to read.

However, there are also areas of the site that are comforting; I personally have met some really great people and I don't know what I would have done without them. Please keep your account open and continue to visit as we need each other this year especially.

Agree with blue_eyed_belle. There are some places that are wonderful on here, and some that are not. I just try to post in the fun/lighthearted threads.

But, if you feel that leaving here is best for you personally, then that's understandable. We'll miss you. :( :hug:
 
I don't know what to say except that I agree. I love this forum and there are so many wonderful people here ..but recently I don't like to see what this place has turned too. It's really sad to see so much hate. It becomes worse each day. I'm also thinking to leaving the forum. I am recieving too many personal attacks and it is no longer entertaining for me. Today I was being "attacked" personally, just because I stated my own opinion. It made me feel really sad. I can't stand the hate anymore. :weeping:
 
I'm so sorry that so many of us feel that way :( It's sad and exhausting that there's so much hate around here at the moment. I don't know why it has turned out that way, but I sure hope it would eventually go away after a while.

My heart is aching every time I see that people get attacked for no reason :cry: I wish you guys wouldn't leave the forum, but of course you do what is best for you.

I just would like to send out a lot of love to you all who feel sad and hurt at the moment. :better:
 
I know how you're feeling. This is just a terrible terrible time for us all.
It's a shame that some people attack eachother when we should stick together.
Do what you feel is the right thing to do. Hugs :)
 
I stay away from the Investigative Unit.

In my opinion, a lot of the users there are clasping at straws.
 
Everyone is on edge at the moment for obvious reasons which has understandably led to a lot of bickering. A month ago a lot of people were saying how the forum was getting back to normal as everything had calmed down. Now Murray has been charged over Michael's death and we're all struggling with it. Its taken us right back to June. Please think before leaving. I'm not a fan of the conspiracy theories either which is why I avoid the IU. We all need to stick together, this is going to be a really tough year for everyone with the trial and what not. I really enjoy your posts. Please re-consider :flower:
 
I'm sorry you feel this way. :( I see a lot of emotions running high on the board with recent developments, it's understandable but I wish we could be more tolerant of each other as a community. After all, we should all be here for each other. One thing bought us here in the first place - love. Love for Michael. I hope you'll come back one day, we need to weather this storm together.

And for everyone, please report posts that upset/offend you and they will be dealt with. :flowers:
 
I complete understand your decision and it makes complete sense. I've also thought about leaving the forum too but then I realized all the people in here which have helped/are helping me. Here I have found wonderful people which I don't know what I would have done without them. I respect your decision but please, think it hard before making any final decision.
If you finally decide to leave, remember that you can come back whenever you want, this is your home. We'll miss you. :huggy:

This post seems to have come not too long after my comments in the This Is It section, where you replied to me with "**smh**", which I politely asked you to elaborate on as I wasn't sure if it was a censored curse or short for something.

My point in the This Is It section, if it offended you, I apologise. However, while I don't buy into any conspiracy theories and don't break down through grief everyday and look for someone to blame, I miss Michael as much as the next fan ... we all have different ways of handling things, a point you touched on yourself in your own post.

I stand by my comment that I will not buy any more merchandise by Michael Jackson because it's being released on an "about" basis rather than being released "by" Michael.

I've no time for Jermaine and his woefully transparent sympathy, again that's just my opinion, and others can and will rightfully disagree. Michael no longer stands to benefit from my money, whereas his family and others will continue to squabble over who gets what, what goes where, and why. To me, everything released now is nothing but a cash in to hone in on the fans who are really struggling, and lets be honest ... Michael was a popular guy and artist, so there's a LOT of fans to "hit" in the pocket with anything, no matter how mediocre, that bears Michael's name and is marketed properly.

That's just how I feel, and I again apologise if I offended you in the This Is It section. Hopefully you don't leave the forum, but as a part-time poster that may not mean anything to you personally, however it is a heartfelt sentiment.
 
I agree with all of you. What I can add is that us fans, should never feel any kind of hatred against eachother.
Why? Because WE ARE all, that WE have LEFT. (Not talking about music, video, audio, pictures, you name it.)

To understand eachother, cry on eachothers shoulders, to laugh, to bring up memories.

But most of all, to keep carrying out the respect Michael has always given us. This is nothing new, before his death it was the same. But on June 25th, he left the Earth. He can no longer speak for himself. That is our job, always has been, always will be.

I do not understand why FANS b*tch at eachother. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, as long as it is respectfull toward any human being.

We have lost Michael, but sometimes people seem to have lost their compassion as well. That really makes me sad. :(

I would love to say a lot more, but I will shut my mouth before I might offend anyone. Sad thing, but I have to keep that in consideration as well. Although, I do not want that. I want everybody to be able to speak up and tell everybody whats on their minds and in their hearts.

As for people deciding to leave ANY forum. I totally understand. But please remember, any forum can be as 'great' and 'helpfull' as you want it to be. Sometimes that means reading THROUGH the black text. And not getting fed up as easily.

As a fan, you have to be though, standing firmly with both feet on the ground. If that's not one of your strong points, let others help you become stronger. It's all possible.

And it's all for Michael. :)

Meme, you know I've always liked you. I really hope you will re-consider your decision and eventually come back :flowers: We need you here.
 
I don't see the point in unregistering.
If you don't like the forum the way it is right now, why don't you just stay away for a while and come back when everything around Michael has calmed down?
You'll regret leaving the most loving community on the internet.

And I got to say one thing about al the bashing and hating going on these days.
I've been a member on other (non-mj) forums for years, but even today, this is the most mature forum I've ever seen.
 
Hi Meme,

I think we haven't talked to each other yet (I hope my memory isn't lying to me).

But my advice is to just avoid threads that upset you. If you don't like to read in the IU, simply stay away. I know it's easier said than done, because sometimes it just happens that you read something you don't want to.

Besides, you can choose where to post and what to answer. Sometimes it happens that a topic gets hijacked and goes to in a different direction, but avoid discussions which annoy you, you don't have to explain yourself to no one, even if someone doesn't share the same opinion, it happens.

Please, overthink your decision, maybe it turns out being better after you spoke what is on your mind.

Much Love :flowers:
 
The constant attacks on the family every time one of them is mentioned leaves me exhausted, as does the attacks on anyone here who cuts them some slack, as does the attacks on people who have different beliefs ... but there are rules against ALL of that now.

We all have different opinions and we all have feelings, we need to be aware that what we say can hurt other people.

Often the problem is not what is said (as in the opinion) but HOW it is said.

I don't know why we can't be civil and respectful when stating our opinions without having to be told to do so.
