i agree with that.
there aren't any threads on Michael devoid of criticism of Michael.
there aren't going to be any Janet threads devoid of criticism of Janet.
as long as no one is out to personally stick it to Janet, freedom of speech rules.
on the same token, if someone personally sticks it to Michael on this MJ forum, i'll be the first to point it out, and make the comparison in a Janet thread, just to be irritating to anyone who reveals a double standard.
i just hope that i can make a thread where i can say 'no Michael bashing, or else, get out of my thread,' the way it's ok to say that about all other artists. i am amazed at the amount of artists who are showcased in threads, where the starter of the thread is allowed to say 'stay out of my thread, if there is any negativity' but if someone says that about a Michael thread, they get the beatdown. i'm just tired of that.
the point i'm trying to make here in my long winded way is..
who has the right to say 'stay out of my thread' on a public forum, just because someone posts something that the thread starter doesn't like?(only with the exception of blatantly breaking forum rules) no one should have that right. if they wanna do the dictator thing, there should be pm's for that.
