what you want my dear is for someone to repost them vile comments that was posted in this here forum LAST year and the year before so you werent way then and you did see the homophobic hate that marv/DetroitLIVE313 wrote on youTube. If someone repoost them Ralph get involved and close down the thread which isnt going to happen so I'm not buying you havent seen them nonsense.
Respectfully.
Roberta
I can't.
First of all, Yahoo! Groups? Really? I honestly didn't even know they still existed.
Second, As much respect as I have for Mary Wilson as a founding member of The Supremes, I don't care enough to join an entire group devoted to her. I get enough "updates" on this forum.
Thirdly, I find it so interesting that this may be a forum where "bashing" of any kind is permitted be it gays, Diana Ross, etc. Funny how the biggest Yahoo! group devoted to Diana Ross [[which has now migrated to Facebook) has a ZERO bash policy - especially when it comes to Mary Wilson. For years, I remember we couldn't even talk about RTL! One of the most refreshing things about DRUTF was that it was had a NO tolerance policy when it came to postings that could be construed as offensive to other members, recording artists or even communities [[black, gay, etc.). Even on the FB groups for DR and The Supremes, there are ZERO posts by members about Mary Wilson or any of the other assorted nonsense. I guess it's reflective of the artists that are represented and their decorum when it comes to talking about other artists and/or former co-group members.
I'm not gonna join any damn Mary Wilson forum. You can simply privately provide a link to some of the offending stuff so I can see for myself. You guys forget, i'm not part of your little group, and have no interest in becoming part of it. But, if you guys are going to continually claim something, be able to back it up with evidence. Otherwise, you guys are no better than those tea-bagger birthers who keep trying to claim that Obama is a white mother-hating, Kenyan Muslim socialist homosexual who is trying to hand over the country to Al-Qaida.
And, as far as manifestation of acquiescence is concerned, you can say the same thing about Michael Jackson, or even the forum members who say nothing about the stupid little cat-fights that continually go on here.

I see no reason why anyone would fabricate these allegations. Unfortunately, if said individual is the moderator of said group, I suppose he can't censor or "ban" himself for offending anyone. As I've said elsewhere, any Diana Ross group I've been a member of had a ZERO tolerance policy for bashing any artist [[especially Mary Wilson) OR anyone based on race, sexual orientation, etc.
Hey, Lulu, I noticed you joined up on that message board I recommended to you. You notice how moderated that forum is, right? None of the stuff Ralph allows to go on here is tolerated there. I noticed you haven't posted over there yet. Maybe it's not your kind of place. Oh well...
I actually hope that Marv has toned down some of that, as he seems to have on this forum. I like Marv and prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt that most of the rants are a thing of the past. I have no interest in "proving" anything to anyone. I was just making a point that most people would deny engaging in that sort of behavior if confronted. I don't understand the reference to Michael Jackson.
Ok, then. I've been asking for a year for anyone of these people to show me some proof, and NO ONE has done it yet. They can send it to me by private message so it doesn't have to be posted on the forums for anyone to see.
I am not going to join any Mary Wilson, Supremes, Diana Ross, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter group just to see what Marv wrote about gays.
If Marv has "toned down" his alleged stance on gays, good. If his opinion on gays has evolved, all the better. You guys have to remember that a lot of people still have an issue with LBGTs for whatever reason. It's not that easy for some people. There was a time I would have said some pretty vile things about gays too. Now that I personally know a few lesbians and gays, I have also evolved in my views. I can't say that I am 100% comfortable with certain things. Just being honest here.
Now, what is this thread supposed to be about? Oh yeah! some girl group doing "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby [[With A Dixie Melody)" in the age of civil rights, dogs and fire hoses trained on women and children, Watts riots, assassination of Malcolm-X, Al Jolson, and all that stuff.

Well, I think that enough people have witnessed these things that it could be taken as probably true, but if not, it's cool with me. If it is proven that he is DetroitLives, then it could be, "how do I know he wasn't hacked?" There's a stepping off point for moi, it's now. If I DO, naturally run acRoss something of interest on this topic, I will share it.
You don't seem too very bright. The Supremes sold something like 100 million records and those records were not only bought by gay people. Duh? The Supremes were not a gay group. I never heard anything like that until the internet and people like yourself. And for the record [[ no pun intended)
I am not a fan of Diana Ross at all. Mary Wilson is a friend of mine, I don't consider myself a "fan" . Keep grasping for a way to slander me, insult me and you might be successful, but I am a New Yorker, so then again you might not! LOL!!!

You might want to check the brightness of your own bulb. Roberta did not slander you. Other posters implied that to be a fan of the Supremes, you have to be gay. Roberta used you as an example of a person who is a fan of most members of the group and who is straight. No slander there
your not a fan of Diane Ross? Really cause you post about Diane every single day in this here forum. im not slandering you dear i was pointing out to soulster that the Supremes fans have straight male fans. Arent you a big supremes fan? I never said the Supremes were an gay group it was Soulster that say that. See below.
