Yes. You do need moderators telling you why you were suspended.

4.7 Never, Ever Defy A Moderator. — Do not defy the moderator when you are warned for a rules violation. Moderating is a thankless unpaid volunteer task with no reward other than the satisfaction of furthering the site’s mission (to inform and to become informed). A dislike of being publicly warned is understandable, but the moderator’s job is to show you how to preserve your posting privilege. Take his or her advice and warnings seriously. If you defy a moderator, a site administrator may expel you permanently rather than letting the moderator merely suspend your privileges for a week.

Be cautious. You are just coming off suspension.

5.2 Think. — Think about why your posting privilege was suspended. Whatever rule you violated, you want to avoid it happening again for two reasons. First, once your posting privilege has been suspended and restored, the moderators, quite naturally, are going to be inspecting what you write very closely. They will be less tolerant next time. Second, each time it happens, you will be suspended for twice as long.

Consider this a warning. The only warning you will get.

No, that's not the reason why you were suspended. Someone cannot ask you questions to clearify a point??? The person whom you responded to in the way you did is a forum moderator, which does not matter. If you cannot be respectful to any posters here, please leave and do not come back. It's that simple.


I think I know why I was suspended and I don't need people like you to tell me why. Thankyou. As far as asking questions, he asked them in order to confuse my point , not to clarify it. Thankyou.


Um no..I asked questions to clarify what you meant and made statements that challenged what you asserted. I was, essentially, challenging some of the points you made by providing counter examples, etc.

Your reaction was to take this as a personal attack instead of addressing my statements.

People on this board do these things (i.e., ask questions and challenge other people's claims) all the time. It is not personal.

Again you don't get it, he is one of the Moderators here, and it is his job to tell you why.

It is being said that once Madonna dies, there goes POP Music...

Cool


Probably true, she's almost as big as Michael was and she was constant

I think the 80's was the last generation of entertainers that could become huge Super Stars as well as these people mostly were original.

Springstein
Michael Jackson
Madonna
Prince

Greatest rock n'roll/pop entertainers- Elvis, The Beatles , Micheal Jackson.They all had that 'it factor. It was talent,times,and giving the public something new or reworked new with some new additons.

Elvis-great entertainer.Flawed and tormented man personally.

Micheal Jackson- great entertainer.Flawed and tormented man personally.

John Lennon-great talent with The Beatles and alone but John had personal problems-ditched his son Julian, irrational thinking,theYoko thing.
RingoStarr(Richarad Starkey),Deceased George Harrison,and Paul McCartney,great talents with The Beatles and alone,but they were normal in their personal lives.They all lived in n REALITY! Even Ringo and George did not have as much success as Paul McCartney and Wings and then he went solo again,Ringo and George stilll had their own thing and lived in REALITY!

I think the writer of this article was bringing out that MJ,even then was losing REALITY!

The writer mentioned N.O. drowned,but that was not until 8/28/05.
His article was about losing reality 1980's and then he threw in N.O. Wrong date. I mostly agree with his article. 1980's ,live and let live.Whatever goes.Smoke and mirrors. The writer used his own account of meeting MJ. That was onbe sad and "off"meeting.the writer took a hit at Nancy Reagan and her astrology too.

Yes I agree completely. There will be "huge" stars, but nothing like those of the 80s and prior.
