What is the point to complain about the content of a thread? If all applicable rules are respected, then all consenting members should be allowed to have the discussions they want without having to adopt any particular mood.
I haven’t participated to this thread yet because I have discussed this issue in the past and I find that there is not much more I can contribute or learn. This does not mean that I won’t participate in the future, but I just don’t feel like doing so right now. I would suggest that others who are not interested in discussing this particular topic (and the possible pessimistic mood that is associated with it) just avoid this thread. This seems like a reasonable and easy solution. There are many members here who post stuff that I dislike. There are also plenty of threads that I really don’t care for. Some of the stuff I post myself probably irritates a fair share of members as well. So? What should we do about this? Create a specific list of topics that we will exclusively discuss and specific moods we will all be forced to adopt? These are public forums and there is no forcing such restrictions. For those who want a more positive mood, I would suggest promoting just that in an attempt to counteract the perceived negativity and pessimism. For example, in the present thread, one could make more “positive” contributions and just keep to interactions with members who share the same views. Maybe that would make it more fruitful for people who find all this sad and depressing. Also, be inventive, created new threads, try new topics, or try to find a different angle to older topics...

I do agree with Scruffy again...
There is been soooo many times I say something about Alizee and say she was offered things (US promotions) but she choose to ignore them. Then I get flamed... or people say to me why do you act like know things... So I don't post much anymore because of this...Because everyone does not want to hear that she does not care... Sooooo... the promotions I had for Alizee then were given to another French artist... Has it helped them....YUP! Alizee's loss... |

First, the best quote here of late:
Quote:
Now here's one side, making some excellent points: Quote:
Now here's two guys on another side, also making excellent points: Quote:
Scruffy, I do support Lili's having parted from F&B. (I don't know that that makes me a "yes-man", or just a plain realist.) But I do agree with you on this: to reboot this career, she'd need an expert manager. Someone who would demand commitment. Someone who would be able to pull her away from her happy, idyllic lifestyle, and make her do more recordings, tv spots, concerts, appearances, traveling, work, work, work, work and work! I suspect she's not in a big hurry to hire this person. __________________________________________________ _________________________ Speaking of controversial posters whom I still respect and value, here's MonMaquis!

Otherwise, people complaining about others' opinions is just more opinions. I for one am quite glad we don't all agree here at AAm all the time. It would just get boring, in a hurry. Quote:

I wouldn't have any problem if every member posted a complaint about her. The issue is people like you who do it so frequently for so long. I don't know whether you are trying to offset the positive talk about her or just don't realize how often you rag on her. Maybe you think because you do good things here you are entitled to do whatever else you want but it just makes you a two face. It's love/hate with you, hardly any in between. Quote:
Well I said for at least a year. But I can go back further and it looks like that's what I'm gonna have to do. It's not nice, but sometimes it's necessary to clean things up. I've done it in other forums and it does work. |

The next time you choose to enter a thread, I suggest you read the title of the thread. The title of this one is "Alizée's career". Here is the Merriam-Webster defiinition of the word career. a profession for which one trains and which is undertaken as a permanent calling Her career started when she was discovered by MF and LB and it continues today. Discussions of her career include anything that relates to her career, good, bad or what ever. Now sometimes with certain statements you'll see a little box at the end of it with a little number in it. That means there is a footnote at the bottom of the page, giving further details about the statement. Here is the definition of footnote. a note of reference, explanation, or comment usually placed below the text on a printed page . There were no such notes. No one said please only make statements of a positive nature. Please don't mention anything you think might have been a mistake in her career. Pretend that you are in the Russia or China where free speech is surpressed and only say good things about the party, or in this case Alizee, and we'll get along just fine. The MDO label was specificly created by others in this forum, so people could say what ever is on their mind. Now you're saying that's not the case? Like I said, next time, read the title of the thread. You can start your own thread and state in your opening post, "Please don't make any posts that may be considered of a negative nature" or "No criticism of Alizee will be tolerated in this thread.", and I would respect that. But when there is a thread, specifically one that has the MDO label to it, have enough sense to realize there could be statements not of your liking.

Feel free to go back and dig up older and older posts all it shows is that she has been on this path for quite some time and she may want to take the next exit. She can do much better honestly. That will require a lot more effort on her part however, and I don't really see it happening. Regards, Jung |

You are missing the point of this thread, which is labeled [MDO]. The purpose of this is that it was more or less a trial run of a thread for Mature Discussion Only, which allowed people to voice their honest opinions on a subject without the thread devolving into a fight between members. In other words, this thread is not about particular members, it is about Alizée's career and posts should only address her career, not forum members.
This has been working for quite a while now, but I see it's starting to veer off course. If we want to continue to have discussions like this, we must stay on topic. And that means no attacking others for their opinion in this thread. If you don't like the subject matter, leave the thread.

Some of the posts by Helixsix and related replies have been moved to Off-topic comments.
The thread is for discussion about Alizée and not about Scruffy. Last edited by Merci Alizée; 02-23-2011 at 11:57 PM.. |
