Must have been either/or....cos mate there were SHEDLOADS - usually in the op.
and then again in every subsequent post!
Personally me, I prefer the diversity and have enjoyed reading all the MJ updates. If I dont like a thread title, I dont bother opening it much less posting on it multiple times as has been the case in MJ threads....quote:Originally posted by Yellow Rose:quote:Originally posted by pretty~cocoa~eyes:I second this...

I know summat about him, and it's a good way for some of us to come to terms with his shocking death.
I agree tennis threads bore me, the soaps thread i can deal with along with BB, the non related threads bore me
In case you haven't noticed Michael Jackson has nothing to do with BB.
See, this is what confuses me on this Forum, every day I see threads about all kinds of subjects that aren't related to BB - do they all get FM's going in them saying "this has nothing to do with BB"
When did this Forum become strictly BB related, because if it did many aren't aware of it which is why they're posting about other things
To use the often quoted phrase "without LF" I also don't think there's enough for people to discuss about BB to fill one page that the amount of threads the Forum can hold. Of course we could have many repeated threads on the same BB subject/HM just to fill up the page but is that what FM's really want? or would they then complain about repeated threads? Surely some prefer the diversity of topics to discuss?
You are such a nice FM, but are very innocent. Don't change by the way.

I don't think its a problem that its about MJ. Its just Roxi is trying to force people to respect MJ and has pretty much made around 10 threads on the same subject... most of them have been put in the troll tank, and yet they are still being made even though the O/P knows they will cause arguements

Just saw him on GMTV rehearsing for the O2 concerts a couple of weeks b4 he died. TRAGIC!! Was dancing away just like he did 20 years ago! Looked amazing.Just makes it all the more unbelievable what happened quote:Originally posted by Little Miss Spurs:
They just showed it again but, more of the footage. Im now likequote:Originally posted by Liverpoollass:quote:Originally posted by Little Miss Spurs:
I missed it
I doubt very much that he would have completed all the concert dates, but it would have been great to go and see him.
They said this was 2 DAYS, 2 DAYS before he died!!!!!! He looked SO fantastic. OMG ! Ive only seen a 3 minute snapshot of what would have happened at these shows, but it really would have been totally brilliant. Awesome 
Just makes this whole thing all the more sad and unbelievable 
I saw it too dear, though he looked skinny he looked like he would have given a good show and his voice still sounded amazing... This is so sad but funnily enough I feel better now these days because I feel he is in a better place....quote:Originally posted by Little Miss Spurs:

Im with you on that one, I saw a pic of home 3weeks ago and he looked really good(as good as his bad days).. He looked healthy too... Hopefully the toxicology results will reveal something...quote:Originally posted by RZB:quote:I saw it too dear, though he looked skinny he looked like he would have given a good show and his voice still sounded amazing...
He looked so much better than he did
at the 02 when he annouced the shows,
Which adds to the confusion for me what he actually died of,

I agree... They should let him be...quote:Originally posted by luxor:

I think I can safely say that most people don't have a problem with the fact that Michael Jackson fans are upset by his death. On the night that he died, there were several threads here, none of which had any particularly negative comments. The 'negative attention' only started when Roxi started her numerous threads demanding that everyone must respect MJ, denying that he's had plastic surgery, that he's the father of the children etc. I doubt that anyone here begrudges people the right to feel sad or pay tribute to an artist who they liked, but there are ways of doing it.quote:Originally posted by Yellow Rose:
I also think diversity is good and what I noticed earlier in the day was there were 13 unrelated BB threads and 4 MJ threads, which is why I'm still puzzled that MJ threads are the focus of negative attention, so is it MJ the majority don't like, or Roxi?
not disagreeing with you Growly but the night we heard, some of the jokes (quite disgusting) & opinions that were being thrown around. I was so angry, my OH had to drag me away from the computer. SO others were, on that night being quite crass & vulgarquote:Originally posted by Growlybear:I think I can safely say that most people don't have a problem with the fact that Michael Jackson fans are upset by his death.

Roxi has had years of experience of forum flaming and has now got it down to a fine art. She knows exactly how to wind people up - she's done it with Jordan, Leona Lewis, the Spice Girls, and John Cena that I've seen - and has had multiple bans from several forums for her flaming (at least 20 from C4). I think Helen and MoFo have summed up her posting style exactly. Had Roxi not decided to start posting in her usual way, I'm sure very little of the negativity would have ever happened.

Happened to my Uncle as well. One minute he was laughing and joking during a visit to my Mum, then next he was on the floor.
