is freddie really at peace?

What were his farts like...?

Guys, give Malina a break. What did she say that set everyone off? She tried to answer the question. Is that harmful?

Geeks..

If you want to see an even more non-newbie friendly forum, try www.redissue.co.uk.

Anyway, I take your point about innocent questions, but all you're really saying is that you and I have a different point at which an innocent question becomes a stupid question. I can respect that. Hopefully, you can also see that where you answer some questions, I answer others.

In this case, I have to admit that my initial response is based mainly on the thread title, which I maintain is virtually imbecilic.

Friends?

Sure, P_G. *shakes cyberhand*

The topic title may well have been imbecilic - but really, look at the average topic title on the board...it's followed by thirteen thousand six hundred and forty-five exclamation points and announces something that is common knowledge. We can't judge a book by its cover :)

AC: My knowledge is very accurate--prove me wrong! Go ahead! And Scully, Freddie happens to be MY favorite Queen member so I do pay more attention to anything regarding him verses the other three. And, your problem is . . . ? If I were more interested in your favorite member, who is Brian, am I correct?, then it would be okay with you for me to focus on him? paris happened to be very correct in his assertations regarding Freddie's parents' customs about burial; that's what I was responding to. Who are any of you to say that people can not say what they feel or think or ask any particular questions regarding Queen on a QUEEN NOTICE BOARD????

Absolutely. How dare anyone restrict anyone from asking anything.

Of course freedom of question is useless without freedom of answer...

Malina, my main point was that this is a Queen forum. And what do Zoroastrian burials or Freddie's ashes have in common with Queen? It's the music that should be discussed, for fuck's sake. Maybe next time we should really discuss (and into depth) which team will win the football league in England because Manchester United was Roger's favourite team? Or we should really talk about web design because Brian May's son has recently created a (very crappy) web site.

(I think Arsenal will win, btw.)

... "do pay more attention to anything regarding him verses the other three. . . . paris happened to be very correct in his assertations regarding Freddie's parents' customs about burial;"

For me as a foreign English user it would be so much easier to discuss when native speakers would know the difference between "verses" and "versus" and would not make up words such as "assertation" when they perhaps mean "assertion" or something similar.

Scully: This is a Queen forum to discuss ANYTHING about the band; there are no limitations. The discussions being posted are those that have been written about, therefor open for debate and discussion. Nowhere on this site, does it say "only music topics allowed". And, Your Valentine, if you have nothing to add to the validity of any statements being made regarding the topic, but rather only have something to add regarding a couple of misspelled words, then whatever turns you on!

Well, it' hardly possible to discuss with someone like you when your debating strategy is: "the earth is flat, I know that - now prove me wrong".

YourValentine: When I speak about Freddie, I state the facts. Or, when talking about interpretations of his songs, I state my opinions from what I've read and seen and heard. I have been a fan of Freddie's for a very, very long time and have always seen so much more into him then just what was on the surface. In fact Mercury, The Afterlife of a Rock God (which is now playing in New York, and which I've seen already and am seeing again on Sunday)has confirmed to me alot of what I've already believed about Freddie's life, particularly his childhood. I have always paid attention to anything written or said about Freddie because I have always been intrigued by him. So, whenever I read anything, it stayed with me and I retained it in my memory. So, what paris said about the Zororastrian beliefs was true--can you debate that? It has been written about as regards Freddie's parents and so therefore is a good, and interesting topic of discussion. It all pertains to Freddie and Freddie is part of Queen and this is a Queen forum. And, as I am intrigued by anything regarding Freddie's life, as I find it quite interesting indeed, I will reply to such topics. Now, go ahead, read over my reply and look for any misspellings and come back and bring them to my attention.

Okay Malina - let me try one more time to discuss with you in a normal way. Of course, a normal discusson will NOT be based on an Off Broadway play because this is fiction and not facts as you seem to believe.

- the discussion in this thread:
although you yourself came up with a quote that proves that burial in so called "Holy Ground" is not a Parsi tradition at all, you still insist that the topic starter was right with the initial claim. With a little logic you'll see a contradiction here. He claimed that the religion of Freddie's parents requires the body to be taken back to the birth country in order to find peace in some sort of holy ground. This is wrong, period. Find your facts in any book or documentary. Start here if you will:

- the topic starter's second claim was that Freddie Mercury's ashes were divided among family members and friends and therefore the soul cannot find peace or something like that. I still think it's disgusting to spread such stories here. Nobody ever said that the ashes were divided. This is not Courtney Love baking cakes from her husband's remains, so please let us observe a little respect here.

Let's go back to some other topics we discussed here to make you realise how frustrating it is to discusss with someone who strictly refuses to accept reality but insists to have a deeper knowledge based on what ever it may be based.

- your claim that Bohemian Rhapsody deals with Freddie "coming to terms with his sexuality"

Although there is not the slightest hint for such a meaning in the song and although Brian and Roger told the public a dozen times that it was tongue in cheek and rather nonsense than anything else, you did not only insist on your "interpretation", no - you even claimed that Brian confirmed your views in an interview. When asked for the quote you refused to provide it (no surprise here, he never said it) blaming the other people to be too ignorant to know this alleged quote.

- your theory that Mustapha has a consistent meaning and that parts of it are written in Gujarati. Although nobody ever could find this consistent meaning and although Indian Queenzoner Lord Vultan confirmed that there is no Indian language used in the song, you still insisted that you are right and everybody else is wrong.

As a self proclaimed Freddie expert you should give facts a little more room in your statements even if they don't fit into the image you made of your idol.

Now I feel like Chad:) but I sure won't do this again.

YourValentine: Certainly you didn't see any references to Freddie's ashes in my response to paris because they're weren't any. Of course, Freddie's ashes weren't shared. I was responding to his first statement regarding Freddie's parents beliefs that the body is to be laid out on holy ground. Again, I didn't respond to any statement regarding whether or not Freddie is at peace. So, again, only did I respond to the religious beliefs aspects in this topics. (By the way, though, I do feel Freddie is at peace--my own personal feelings). Please re-read my answer. As to your other statements regarding BoRap, look back over your videos, and you WILL find what Brian said. And, as for Mustapha, I still stand by what I said. I'm not going to go over again all the details, because I've said them all already. If you want to, please go back and re-read all my reasonings, but I'm not going to repeat myself. Oh, and as for Mercury-the Afterlife, it is based on his life, and it would do you good to see it as it shows the deeper side of Freddie that many of you refuse to see or believe, the side that is reflected in many of his songs.

Lol yes - be happy in your dream world:)

What you have all missed here is that Malina's favourite Queen member is Freddie, clearly setting her apart from the hundreds of us trolling around. She looks up lots of stuff, and therefore doesn't actually need discussion, but until someone builds a "I know this subject inside out and will answer all your questions with 100% accuracy" board, she's stuck on boards where everyone else expects to be allowed an opinion. You have to make allowances for the fact that this goes against her expectations.


Oh, and Mercury - The Afterlife is clearly a reference work on a par with the dictionary.
