YOU ARE WELCOME. JUST TALKING AS A LOYAL ELVIS FAN!!

[Merry]

We are talking about the people who run Elvis down. The threads I'm thinking of, are the disrespectful threads, not this one. I love Elvis, I am here only, because of him, and I'd like to say, that *ed at times I feel the same, and don't want to be hereb. I stay as I have to be close. I wish Elvis was here, talking to me, lol, or someone like him, hehe. I postb because you said it helped you. I agree with what has been said; however, there are so many good people here too, and like anywhere, there are going to be those who are jealous of him. Quite frankly, some threads should be removed from this site, and/or not allowed.

Rosanne, you honour Elvis in your own way, and I respect you for that. I also laugh at your sense of humour, and we play off each other's sense of humour at times, and it is fun.

That is censorship.

As has been discussed countless times here: if you don't like the subject of a thread, or a particular tangent a discussion takes, don't post on it.

Discussing, referring to, mentioning or otherwise connecting to Elvis' drug habits or other excessive behaviours in no way contravenes any of the rules of this forum.

And that is the truth.

We are talking about the people who run Elvis down. The threads I'm thinking of, are the disrespectful threads.

And yet it's okay for you to run down other people in Elvis' life? This thread, if it wasn't at least designed to put Marty Lacker down, sure led other posters to do so!

You can't have it both ways.

Exactly, so don't reply to me, as I have asked you, before.

What we are talking about between us, is how most of us, are sick of what you enjoy talking about.

If you don't like it, don't post, or go elsewhere.

[Getlo]

Perfectly well said. Follow your own advice. Don't like drug talk? Don't post on it.

Simple.

I'll post anywhere and in any thread I see fit.

are sick of what you enjoy talking about.

And I am sick of posts featuring poetry, and pictures of puppies and kittens and conversations with God and rainbows and lollipops and all that.

So guess what? I don't post on them and allow those who want to, to post away.

Actually, lol, I was trying to smooth things over, until, well,

Sorry, it might be just me, but I am totally missing the humor of this thread. The posts are about the press covering up Elvis' drug use. I think that pretty well is bringing it up. If that makes you smile, you go for it.

Now if you want to talk about his voice, his smile, his hair, his butt.....call me, I'll be grinning from ear to ear.

There was no humor to this thread. I simply dug through old scrapbooks and found an article to share with the board. I think I am missing the point as to why this simple thread has turned into such a big deal. Should I throw away all of the media coverage from the 70's? If my newspaper articles bother you maybe you don't need to read them.

I agree with what you said CRITTERGITTER but the thread was not meant to bring up Elvis' drug use. It was just a newspaper article that Rosanne was nice enough to share.

I was really enjoying these last few threads that Rosanne was putting on about old Elvis articles and things from the seventies. I thought it was finally a break from some of the serious stuff that was going on here lately.

Thank you Kim.

now you'll probably be thought of as a poster who's negative and controversial or someone who brings up negative or controversial topics for excitement.

[utmom2008]

YOU ARE NOT WRONG!! THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER FANS ON THIS SITE WHO AGREE WITH YOU!! ME BEING ONE OF THEM. I WAS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD WHEN ELVIS DIED AND I LOVE READING THESE ARTICLES THAT ROSANNE HAS BEEN POSTING THEY ARE VERY INTERESTING AND I LEARN A LOT ABOUT ELVIS WHEN READING THEM!! I THINK THIS IS SHOWING RESPECT TO HIS MEMORY!!

Thank you!

This thread simply "is what it is".....a newspaper article from October of 1973, nothing less, nothing more. Elvis may have been sick, but he did indeed have an episode about this time with drugs. From what I have read, it was a bad episode.

Jeeeez....you may be right. I guess I'll sit on the rest of the articles.

now you might know how I feel

it's easy to be misunderstood

you were just sharing your articles but some people took them the wrong way just like some people have took my opinions on the Memphis sessions and some other things in the Elvis world the wrong way.

[utmom2008]

it's easy to be misunderstood

Yeh, and mine wasn't even an opinion. Just a black and white newspaper clipping.

[TotallyInsane]

This is unbelievable! She posted the article to show what kind of things we read back when he was here and how things were reported. We've been ridiculed for wearing rose colored glasses and now she's disrespectful because she posted the article and said that. If we say we didn't believe the drug use was as bad as people say now - we're bascially called stupid. And, now this article posted means she's bringing up the drug use. You just can't win on here, can you?
And, by the way, just for the record, Rosanne nor I believe there is any humor in the drug issues he had. But, for me, and I think Rosanne, there is some humor in how so many believe what an arse he was and how great the MM have become in the past 32 years! I wonder if Elvis realized then he was walking among such strong and admirable men back in the day!!!

I also don't understand how this thread turned into such a brawl. Rosanne simply posted another article she found and I don't believe there was any intent behind it. There was absolutely no reason to believe that she was trying to start up another drug topic.

Some of you people really need to lighten up!

Everybody back on topic please.

No more of this crap now.

[Miss Clawdy]

Nice article, thank's again Rosanne ! Did anyone notice Priscilla's age....25 ?

[Wendy56]

Why on earth are you blaming the media here?

Don't always believe what you read in the paper

Why people is always against journalists? Can't you realize it's a very difficult and risky job?

Don't worry about it Rosanne!!! Most everyone seems to really enjoy the historical newspaper clippings that you have been sharing with everyone, so please feel free to continue sharing them with those of us that enjoy them.

And for those members who don't like what was written in the articles you post (and I certainly can say that I have read newspaper articles throughout the years on Elvis that I wasn't especially fond of) or don't care to share in our glimpse into the past, then they can simply move on to other areas of the forum that interest them more.

TCB!
