I think that maybe he was a pedophile, but there is no real proof that he was.
Why does everyone think we was a pedo? He's not!

He may be and he may be not, the only one who know this is his lawyer.

Guys, shut the hell up about whether MJ was a pedo or not. It's dragging on and is past the point where it constitutes constructive discussion.

Seriously, any comments after this one about MJ being a pedo or not will incur a one day ban from me. And since I have no exams for another 5 days, so God help me I will do it.

@Strop

Wow.

@Guys that are arguing whether he is a pedo or not.


Who cares if he was a pedo or not?
He was a king among kings, with his talent, he could have accomplished more in a year then you guys in your whole life.

So, who cares? Are you guys going to do something about it? Unlikely....so, lets stop dragging his name to the mud, after all, he is dead, and I was taught I should respect the dead.


On topic


I kinda liked him. I wasn't a fan, but his songs weren't bad at all. I remember Thriller and Beat it. Those songs were good.

So, RIP MJ, the world will miss you. (V_V)

Isn't the abusing your moderation powers a little bit? Banning someone for having an opinion on a situation? Sure the discussion about him being a pedophile or not has gone past constructive discussion, but don't a lot of other threads? I don't see how this thread is going off any different than another thread. Point being, I simply don't think its fair that you are allowed to temp ban people for having an opinion that is conflicting with yours.

This topic is no different than any other controversial topic that enters the World, Politics, Religion section, so why the need to threaten people with a temp ban?

@Steevo15

If I may, in my opinion, he is allowed to. As explained, it won't contribute for the discussion, where the theme is; MJ died. Not: Mj is a pedophile

Steevo, it is not for having another opinion, it is because people are being off topic and less than constructive, and it might end up as a flamewar, seeing how some people react to it.
It is to prevent people from throwing a fit because of it, instead of keeping to the topic.
At least he is warning you, instead of simply doing it.

Not to be rude, but the OP never really did put a topic in discussion. It was announcement more than a topic.

Then discuss he announcement. As much as it is up to the people making the OP to make it worth the while, it is up to the posters as well.

How is it being off topic? This thread is about Michael Jackson, is it not?

less than constructive, and it might end up as a flamewar


But there are tons of topics that go off topic all the time! how is this any more prone to a flamewar than any other controversial topic?

As explained, it won't contribute for the discussion, where the theme is; MJ died. Not: Mj is a pedophile


Then under you logic, there should be a lot of people banned for going off topic in many, MANY other discussions on these forums
