What's yours before the new year begins?
Thread's lost all value. Deleting post.
...yes , I broke it down some
her UK tour announcement would be another ...
What jobete said about Marv another attempt to start trouble. Apparently he doesn’t read all of the posters including Ralph who like Marv and his knowledge.
I see the kids are at it as always.
Nothing whatsoever posted here during the year was ... 'shook'.
Diana at Glastonbury.
When did I mentioned Marv? Marv hasn’t commented on here and yet some of you made sure bring his name up. But since the topic was brought up let me add this. Hypocrisy runs high on this board. You Blue and a few of your cohorts have no problem calling Marv out for his full of it comments against Diana [[ and I do think the bulk of what he says is bull) but in same breath turn around and do the same thing against Mary. This childish behavior has happened too many times to count and I’m sure it will keep on going. That’s my opinion. And if you don’t like it. You can always hit the ignore button.?
Agree, the obsession with Marv and bashing Marv is disturbing. He is the poster who is most frequently attacked -- sometimes veiled and sometimes obvious -- but I have only ever seen him attack Ross. I am not aware of Marv attacking other posters.
Maybe in 2020 everyone can chill out and ACTUALLY ignore comments -- as well as use the ignore button. There is so much information, so many thoughtful opinions and great humor at this board that I can't imagine wasting my time here on someone's foolishness.
Happy New Year!
It's funny how some people rush to defend poor marv, but you don't hear them getting outraged when this brainless guy tries to ruin everything about Diana with his stupid remarks.
Happy New Year :o
I love it!!! The entire post is spot on. And BG anybody who pays attention to what is posted in the forum and by whom, recognizes that you are certainly one of the impartial posters, calling out the ridicule of both Mary and Diana equally. I've seen you do it for the couple years I've participated in this forum, including calling Marv out by name and having Marv come at you as a result. You were attacked in this thread because you called the posts as you saw them: kids being kids. Keep up the good work!
And that's usually the distinction: Marv's nasty posts are usually [[but not always, I too have been attacked by Marv on occasion) attacks against Diana, which is really weird and disturbing. The others attack him personally for attacking her instead of "attacking" his opinion, and you do that by firing back facts. Marv usually spouts off stuff about Diana Ross that he either made up or heard through some second hand [[third, fourth and fifth) source. Sometimes what he says isn't even worth responding to, while other times it's actually quite amusing when he says something ridiculous that can easily be debunked by a sourced fact. Does he cross a line? Absolutely, like this year when he pretty much wished Diana a broken hip. That was sick and over the top. But it's equally as sick that some screen names are obsessed with him, going so far as to mention him in threads he isn't even active in. As much as Marv obviously eats, sleeps and drinks Diana Ross, some who criticize him are guilty of eating, sleeping and drinking Marv. And then they get angry about his Ross attacks and attack Mary in turn, claiming she's fair game.
There's a psychiatric component to the entire mess.
Why should anybody be outraged regarding anything he says about Diana? Especially considering that every win Diana has in life- and trust, she's still winning even at this stage of the game- burns him up? No one in this forum should ever be attacked for their negative opinions regarding any celebrity [[within reason, of course). Marv has his defenders just like other posters have theirs. There is a lot of hypocrisy spreading throughout the forum, neither side has room for finger pointing.
I believe it. I've had the same thing happen to me before with him and I light his ass up as a result and I back your right to do the same V. There are some on here who believe Marv can do no wrong. He's no angel, same as the rest of us...well, the rest of y'all, since I'm obviously the most angelic member of this forum.:cool:
Guys, let's remember the time of year it is. With all going on in politics and the world in general, we don't need to create arguments where none exist.
Look, I know Marv can be abrasive at times and his blind spot is definitely Diane. I think I have called Marv out on this in the past at times. For example when he was comparing Diane's looks to someone else [[it must have been Mary though I don't remember exactly at the moment), he used the photo of her as a starved child from her first album as the point of comparison. Obviously, that wasn't a glamour photo and I told Marv he was comparing "apples to oranges."
Marv isn't one to usually acknowledge he might have been wrong or unfair in one of his judgments, but he has never insulted or bashed me in any way, even when I have criticized him for getting personal or unfair regarding Diane. I consider him an SDF friend.
And from posts from several years ago, and from YouTube and other places, it seems to me that Marv has really held back. Yes, he does create some drama but the vitriol doesn't seem to be there as it did in the past.
Anyway, I guess when you gain notoriety for one reason or another, people start ascribing things to you that you might have said or did. That seems to be the case here, in a thread that Marv didn't even participate in.
Let's try and get back to the business of the music as we end 2019. [[I, for one, am glad to see this year come to a close...for reasons only my buddy Gary knows...!)
And Happy New Year to Marv, and everyone.
Diana's Diamond jubilee
Mary and Diana's 75th birthday
Mary on DWTS
Supreme Glamour
When it was revealed Mary and Flo are in fact on Stop in the name of love WITH the Andantes
Agree with Ms Roberta
And clearly, while it doesn’t matter a bit, this is the issue on the Forum - no matter where you fall on it
Hey a new year is coming up and with all the problems in the world and the idiot in the White House, can’t we all be a little friendlier to each other.
You do that. I don't think comments such as that are as unpleasant as wishing an injury on Diana or laughing when someone attempts to assault her on stage. Perhaps you do? However we are about to go into a new decade and i am happy to wipe the slate clean and hope for better things in 2020, but i am pretty sure i know who will be the first to break this uneasy alliance. I will be the first to hold up my hands if i am proven to be wrong. Let us all keep our fingers crossed.
Happy New Year to everyone, and best wishes for 2020.
If you have something to say to me...say it directly.
Can you imagine if you worked with someone 50 years ago and they were still talking about you?
Go find a former associate from 1970 and write an entire book about that. Do you understand how insane that is? Diana rarely mentions Mary, it is Mary, who has continued this stupidity and I say again, for 50 years!
I have seen Mary Live many times and met her in 2008. She is a great performer and I can separate her crazy obession with Diana. I do that, because she is part of the Supremes and the Motown legacy. You are NOT, so your one-sided opinions on the matter are completely irrelevant.
If you hate Diana Ross, how can you possibly enjoy any of the 60s Supremes songs? It makes no sense. Motown music brings me joy and I am sad that you [[and the other multiple personalities) on here cannot find your own joy in some of the greatest music ever recorded.
Happy 2020 🎉
Let me put on my reading glasses. First off I never said once that I agreed to what Marv has said and I have called him out on it. Second it seems to me that some of you got triggered with the comments I made so I know I hit a nerve. since I been on this board I never made any inappropriate comments about any former Supreme. How many on this thread can say the same. So are we going to have another year of Marv said this and Marv said that. Some of you sound like my niece tattling on her sister. That’s my opinion and of course I’ll wait for the smart ass replies because you just can’t drop it.
What I stated about Mary is Fact. She is not in demand and has ridden Diana's back her entire solo career. Facts.
This board is actually named... DIANA ROSS and the Supremes, not Mary Wilson and the Supremes.
Get your reading glasses on and read the top of the page [[that is my smart ass portion of the post for your consumption)
I could careless whether you have personally said anything derogatory about anyone. You are complicit in his behavior. You enable it, as Blue, so correctly stated.
I have no desire to attack Mary's appearance or personal life. Her career is only a topic when your "friend" attempts to create comparisons. We all know that is a pointless conversation...the public, record sales, ticket sales, tv appearances, awards etc make any arguement completley ridiculous.
Diana is a Star of the highest magnitude [[Clive Davis quote). No one and I mean No one in the music or entertainment business has said anything close to that about any of the other Supremes. These are all facts and I live in reality. I invite you to join me in that reality.
