Hello Phi Nu Pi! If you noticed the date of the post, this is from last year, so no one is angry anybody here. Second, the point is regardless if they are Tempts fans, you just don't lift someone's pictures without their permission. Do people go to the Temptations Forever site go & lift pics over there, even though the webmistress explicitly states that she would prefer people to ask permission to take them? The point is that everyone wants to keep their site original & if everyone had the same thing, we would all look alike. I know Lynnie is nice person & didn't mean any harm by it. Some of us have taken the time & money to collect some of these photos, so we tend to be quite protective about it. No harm meant, none intented. Have a good day! I agree with you, Seain. I have a lot of the same pictures that others have on their site. I spend time to make my pictures look different. I just would appreciate it, if you are going to take the pictures, either give credit or ask permission. It just pisses me off to go over to Ellie Mae's and see my work staring me in the face. Ellie and I don't get along for a variety of reasons and I just did not like the idea of my stuff being on her board. Another poster put up a link to this board the other day. The link concerned a petition for Dennis and Otis to come together on the stage. I noticed that no one responded to the post. A legitimate post gets looked over and no one has any comments. I find it strange that no one commented. I guess Ellie forbid anyone to express themselves concerning the groups getting together... The posters probably did not mean any harm, but it was still wrong. Next time, they should simply ask. I don't hold anything against them, personally, but I'd rather they didn't take 'my' pictures and put them on Ellie Mae's bored! I don't think that's asking too much.

From the mouth of Ellie Mae a/k/a: Ivory Fair "Oh here we go ............... folks ALWAYS gotta be marching about something. First it was "I don't want to sit at the back of the bus anymore" and then it was "I wanna get paid as much as you do" then it was "I'm tired of your po-lice coming to my neighborhood and killing my son" and if that wasnt' enough now it's "I'm tired of you little nappy head white girls singing the dead QUiznos mice song!"
march march march, that's a'll y'all do!"

See, Shawdie...that's why i don't mess with Ellie Mae! She's always got some stupid comment to make. I don't see how any self respecting Black person can hang over there and be talked to the way she talks. I really can't understand for the life of me why she is so enthused with Black peepas. It has to be the blackberry juice! ;D

Check out the Lounge"Quizno's Mice Have Changed My Life" Check out comment about sarcasm after her statement! I guess that comment was supposed to be funny

Hello Shawdie! I'd like to take a quote from the great historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson. He said that, in essence, 'If there was no back door available, the negro would find a way to create one'. In short, what he was saying that we are so conditioned to accept any kind of degrading treatment, we embrace it. Blacks are their own worst enemy. Instead of nurturing & supporting our culture, we shun it & then get mad when someone else 'takes' it. No one can take anything from you that you give away! Of course, this doesn't excuse the behavior of white society but blacks need to get out of the 'we are so desperate to be accepted' mode. People can not do to you what you allow them to. I don't find the humor in iv's comment either but it's more appalling when some of us yuk it up as if it's something to laff about. That's why I do NOT go to her site. I don't have time to support that type of ignorance. You don't see anyone make light of what happened to the jews & their struggles after the holocaust. But black folks have to turn every damn thing into a joke & we allow others to do the same. It's no wonder other ethnic groups think that blacks are like the stereotypes that is continually perpertuated against us!

I read topics of interest *to me* at ivory's site - but that is all. I try not to conversate with her on no tip because I KNOW THE FINE LINE THAT SHE CROSSES VERY OFTEN for the reasons (((Seain))) that you have stated. It amazes me that the BLACKS they don't EVEN see it when she insults them or their nationality and they will be ready to kill you for her! IT IS A SAD SITUATION. However, that statement she made does not even warrant a response -- It's like my grandmama and mama and all of the 'old folks' used to tell us:
YOU PLAY WITH A PUPPY HE'LL LICK YOUR MOUTH (((Seain))) My Sister, I think that I will no longer even visit her site because it's as if Ivory waits for an opportunity to come over here and start stuff and HER (Even if it is broad as day where I gave her website the credit for the article about Bo)FOLLOWERS of course, will amen her. So it's their world, I've made myself clear to them... (((Seain)))) You called it! DEY IS SO HAPPY TO BEES 'CEPTED DAT DEY DON EVEN NO WHEN DEY IS BEIN 'SULTED..... Wade in da wata, Wade in da wata chilrens wade in the wada gods gonna trubba da wata!
PITIFUL! (((Seain)))) YOU CALLED IT along with (((CARTER G. WOODSON))))...

(((Blondie))) Ya know? That's fine if some of us want to go to her site. It's a free country. But there is a place & time for everything & comments like that are NOT appropriate nor is it humorous! I find ivory to be extremely disrespectful! Like The Staple Singers sang 'Respect Yourself....cause if you don't respect yourself, ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot!!'. Some of us wouldn't tolerate it from our own, but we become extremely defensive if someone outside our race makes comments like these. Sometimes, I just don't get us!

I went over there and read that bullshyt! I could not for the life of me let someone talk to me like that. That was a very ignorant statement to make in the name of sarcasm. I don't take 'marching' lightly. Some folks gave their lives so that we can be treated equally. This should not be taken lightly and made a joke of. How they allow Ellie Mae to talk to them like that is beyond me...once again...they obah dere showin dey teefes! Sad!

IF you are angry at me for getting that post about Bo from tempsinfo.com, I TOLD WHERE I GOT IT FROM AND POSTED THE LINK, JUST LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAW IT AND POSTED IT ELSEWHERE - I DID NOT HIDE WHERE I GOT IT FROM - I GAVE CREDIT WHERE IT WAS DUE SO PULLEAZE DON'T PHUCK WITH ME.. I THINK THAT CP aka BEES aka FastnFancy was talkin bout PICTURES. IF IT MAKES EVERYONE FEEL BETTER I WILL DELETE IT. AS I SAY, IF IT CAN'T BE ABOUT FUN - THEN PHUCK IT! I see that you have a limited vocabulary. Don't fret....You can be still helped. She was talking about pictures, and I was talking about posts. See the difference? When you read something, make sure that YOU understand. And no, I'm not angry....I stated that from the start.

OKAY YA'ALL I've DELETED IT! AS FAR AS THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT POSTED IT - I DID NOT LOOK AT THAT - I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN THE CONTENTS OF THE POST, NOT WHO THE POSTER IS OR WAS. THAT IS WHY I GAVE THE LINK AND THE WEBSITE - ALAS NO NEED TO WORRY - IT HAS BEEN RECTIFIED. HAPPY HAPPY... CLAP CLAP... SO NOW YA'All CAN GO PHUCK WIF SOMEBODY ELSE!... I'M OUT.... ;D You didn't have to delete anything. That's a non-issue. I really don't mind sharing information about The Temptations...I mean, that is what the boards are for? Isn't it? I don't worry about stuff like that. Too trivial... Does your use of profanity make you feel like you are a big person? I'm sure you are a beautiful, intelligent person that does not have to resort to using language like that. It was not my intent to upset you, or any member of this board. I'm glad that you are interested in the contents of what I had to say. That was its purpose. I'm sure that you have a better command of the English language also. If you do, you should exercise it. You'll please yourself and others too.

There's no need for it. To tell the truth, I don't know what the policies are for taking materials from that site. I can appreciate the fact that you spent money, time and effort to obtain those pictures. I fully understand you on that issue. Point is, and I emphasize this....I thought the focual point of this, and any other Temptation/Review board was to share information and love for the world's greatest male vocal group. You sound like a rational, intelligent person. I presume that you indeed are. So, if you don't mind, let's get past this, and continue the real reason why we are here. Those girls are young, very..young. Give them the benefit of being young. They are still learning right from wrong. I know this for sure...They really love the Temptations. I see that the post about the pictures are from last year, however the discussion about it is ongoing. I didn't mean to start tempers flaring. I just tried to explain perhaps, that they probably meant you any harm

I agree, put the post back up. True, if you want to get technical, there's no copyright on that information. However, there's nothing wrong with giving full acknowledgement of a person's work. FastNfancy pointed that out about her pictures. I'm not a selfish person....I don't mind sharing breaking news and events concerning the Temptations. I am grown....You are just not in a position to tell me to do anything. I don't have a problem. You should just channel your negative energy to improve your obvious, challenged attitude.
