Pardon me, but that's akin to slapping someone in the face, and then apologizing not because you are truly sorry, but because you knew you were going to attract further criticism if you did not. The 'original poster', or Millie Nao even made her wishes to be addressed accordingly, seeing as how it was disrespectful to her in referring to her as such--but what I find even more of an insult is flinging mud over an issue that was buried on the fourth page, which should have been solved close to it. Now we are on the eleventh page, and the ironic statement of asking Millie Nao to 'get over that' is you somehow managed to bring it up, rather than just being more respectful about it in the long term, not abiding by your concept of getting over this.

so far, people I've asked, have listened and done so. You just don't want to because I think the dictionary is silly and Michael Jackson is even more silly. When I'm in an argument I call people by what they like to be called because then they listen better. You're more likely to jump at your name being yelled then some other slur.

oh look, another life lesson. There it goes, clear over your head. Grab it! Quickly!

You make no sense.

He was this: a musician, singer, composer, writer, actor, entertainer.
He was not an artist because he did not paint anything. He did not manifest his inner self in 2-d media so that it could be hung on a wall. Artist, paint.
Yes! Music is an "art" form. But Michael Jackson did not make "art" he made music.
Do you understand these titles? They are very important to those in the arts.
You would not call Meryl Streep an artist, would you? No! Because she's an ACTRESS not an ARTIST! You wouldn't call John Lennon an artist because he was a MUSICIAN not an ARTIST! You wouldn't call Picasso a MUSICIAN or an ACTOR because he was an ARTIST. Do you understand?
Michael Jackson was not a talented artist, he was a talented musician. Artist is NOT a term which anyone who makes a living doing anything under the umbrella of ART falls under. They have their own umbrellas. Okay? Do we get it? Do we understand? Can we stop calling him an artist now?


I apologize for offending all of you. But understand what I have just done. I have become the better person until all of you acknowledge what I have done just now.


Great! Now go talk about how much you love him so I don't get banned.

karma, karma, karma

I've learned that you need to read her posts over and over again just to be sure you get what she is saying. I think she kind of threw the MJ being a musician and dictionary comment too close to to the "calling the OP by their username."

By the way, Hi Golden-cat! whee
