A TIME FOR RECONCILIATION

All it took was a couple of words to change the mood on the fansites. 2011 had not been the best of years for us, it was depressing to say the least the realisation that we would be unable to influence the course of Justice in regards to Murray and then there was all the 'infighting'. It seems that as time went on many of us were beginning to show our true colours and people we thought of as true and trusted friends, turned out to be far from.

What were those words, uttered by Lady Gaga at the VMA's on Sunday evening, - "MTV are honouring Britney with the MICHAEL JACKSON VIDEO VANGUARD AWARD!!!" Finally all the hard work of the 'We want MTV to Reinstate the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award' Group on Facebook had paid off. The dogged determination of the Leader Mel Freeman not to give up and persistently pushing everyone to participate in some way either by signing a petition or becoming part of a series of  Youtube videos had paid off. Without any notice whatsoever, MTV recognised and bowed down to our demands. It was a major victory timed as it was to perfection on the evening before Michael's birthday and in the run up the the start of The Conrad Murray Trial. It goes without saying that there will be many an MJ Party tonight that will be going with an extra swing and there will equally as many sore heads come Tuesday morning. However we deserve it! It has been tough, very tough for many who have either got caught up in the midst of the fighting or have been the subject of unprovoked attacks, or 'dirty tricks' campaigns.

So lets take a step back and just remind ourselves exactly why we are on here. Why we came on here in the first place. Take a good look and see who the individuals are on here who work so tirelessly on charitable initiatives, running Justice groups communicating every small snippet of info that comes out from the Courthouse and the papers in regards to Murray, and schemes such as the MJ Video Vanguard Award. These are the people we should want to be around, to be associating ourselves with.  We should be spending any time we have (after work & family) promoting and putting out energy into these initiatives. Our time and energy should not be spent, creating fake profiles in order to spy on others or seeking out ways to attack those whose ideals do not fit in with yours. I simply cannot comprehend those people who seem to glean a great deal of enjoyment through the hurt of others. Their time and energy should be spent on pursuing positive goals. Just look what we can achieve when we put our minds to it!

So lets all rest our forked tongues and put away our poisonous pens and lets all try to regain that sense of unity we had a year or so ago. With the Trial not long away, it is going to be tough...we will need a 'brother' or 'sister's' shoulder to cry on, to help get us all through. Please, please...I know we cant all be friends but would it really hurt us to try?
