Back to the original topic, here's some "NEWS" from the Blue Note site A NOTE FROM NORAH Check out a posting direct from Norah Jones in the Forums Section of the fan site Unofficially Norah Jones. This fan site provides news, updates, lots of fun stuff and Norah checks in often. Don't miss Norah Jones ON TOUR this Summer. Links are provided. So this is news on the Blue Note site. Yikes. They were right about one thing - the site providing "lots of fun stuff"

There's an excellent version on thBasie Mosaic with Joe Williams singing - terrific

Based on my experience where I work, they rule substantial portions already

If not maybe I'll go with that John Coltrane thing

I don't think that Mrs. Hadi should be taken so literally. If I could take a stab at it, I read it not as either you're Christian or not but rather - within the context of Christianity, or Judaism or Islam or whatever, your response to a situation that has made you angry should be a reflection of the faith that you profess to follow. We are human. We experience anger. How we respond and react to that emotion should be consistent with and be reflective our respective belief system. This dude music boy walked in here, acknowledged his Christianity and proceeded to do some of the most un-Christianlike acts I've seen. Then he had the nerve to hide behind his Christianity and cry persecution. My 2 cents based on my affiliation with....... well let's just say I'm a free agent. Does Dexter Gordon have a church?

I always wondered if it was foolish of me to post under my real name on these boards. For the first time, I actually feel uncomfortable as some wacko knows my name and he seems a little unstable.

Don't forget, the music boy is busy "recording" these threads, tracking down IP addresses and emails. As soon as he gets enough evidence it's off to the Department of Justice.

It has nothing to do woth your being a Christian. It has everything to do with you being an idiot. So now you're threatening to make lives miserable because you have come here issuing threats and character assasinations. Get lost.

ahem........and I think Norah's band is great. I really think Norah's piano playing is great too, but not as great as her sing, which is super-great .

When someone says they are Christian and upholds Christian values - this is what I expect. Not threats, accusations, and defamations

Just what constitutes a threat then jerk

For the record, and just in case anyone at the Department of Justice cares, I hate hate speech

ahem..........and I think Norah Jones is great. I hope her second CD is as great as her first great CD. That would be really great. That's just in case he's cutting and pasting quotes.

ahem..........and I think Norah Jones is great. I hope her second CD is as great as her first great CD. That would be really great.

New board record for most posters on-line - 41

I saw that too, and had nearly the same thought. I think that the NJ version of softsong is our own catesta under deep cover

There's a few new polls in the Recommendations forum

Geez, I wonder what would have happened if I had actually wrote something evil. For this I was labeled some sort of child abuser, ignorant and a viscious trouble making jerk. Well I'll tell you all that I now feel like a big jerk for making the post in the first place. Not a viscious, trouble making jerk. Well maybe a trouble making jerk, though making trouble was not my intent. All I really wanted to do was gauge the fanatasicm of Norah followers by posting some goofball question and observing the response. I didn't expect some sort of Spanish Inquisition.

I've thought about picking up the Mosaic Parker set many times but have not for the same reason as you. There's alway some set on the running low list that I purchase first. One of these days I'll simply have to pick this up.

Me too. Looks like a salvo has just been fired in the direction of the Norah board. I don't know if that twerp musicboy was just blowing smoke, but I certainly do not want to create any more trouble for our hosts here at Organissimo. This certainly does escalate the issue. I think the best course of action is one that we started yesterday - that is to avoid their board and be done with it.

I know this thread has gotten way out of hand. My post over at the Norah Jones board was never intended to spark such controvery and I still believe that their reaction far exceeds the content of that post or the others that were made by others there. My sincerest apologies to Organissimo for the trouble that has resulted.

The voice of reason. The thing is, the battle really ended yesterday. They wrote Jim that they didn't appreciate what was going on. We said we would stop. End of matter. That is until this pompous a-hole comes in and starts demanding censorship and making threats. I know I'm not going back to his little fiefdom.

boy There's nothing meek about you. You are a pompous a-hole who is apparently pumped up on the power that your lofty position as chief cook and bottle washer at the Norah Jones board affords you. That you can back up your pomposity with your christian ideology and believe that makes all your intimidation tactics justifiable quite frankly sickens me. You personify all that power in the wrong hands can mean. That you have some ideology that in your mind makes you above all that you claim to fight while employing tactics worse than what was perpetrated on your board make you the worst kind of human. The end justifies the means, right? You are a flea and you make me sick to my stomach.

Threats, threats and more threats. Is that how your brand of christian operates? Read the thread idiot. Those who perpetrated these viscious acts have said they are going to stop. Now you have gone beyond threats and have said you are going to continue this on a grander scale unless your "request" for censorship is obeyed? Seems like you have now begun to use intimidation. extortion and racketerring techniques to get your way. You have no morals. You are vindictive. You appear to be a power monger using christian values as a backdrop for your actions. You appear to be a hateful individual. Except for your continued lashing out, can't you see that this would have already ended? You are a hypocrite of the highest order. You profess forgiveness and say you don't use 4 letter words. Then you slander, threaten and intimidate even though the incident is long since over. Hypocrite
