What are you two argueing here about? I haven`t seen neither of you anywhere say David was a crack head or similar...Actually the only one on this Board who has said something slightly negative about David...is me. Here, in the "Does anyone like Otis" thread:

temptsinfo.proboards10.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1087860868&start=15

And Mike was even sort of trying to defend him there. So there you go... You two just argue all the time, because you like each other so much! ;D

Either way Mike I never called David a crack head. What I said was that it had nothing to do with my opinion of him, whether he was or wasn't is no concern of mine.

The only one talking about him being crack head is you deary.

Jedi-mind tricks don't work here. You were the one who brought it up.Why deny? I didn't write your post..you did...stand behind what you wrote...the whole thing.
Stop trying to pass your deeds on me....TV land says the "Fall Guy" is also the "Six Million Dollar Man"...I'm not the fall guy,or do I have six million dollars. Fess up..deary! I gotcha! ;D

Let me make something clear for you............Otis did not fire David........Berry did.........Otis may not have stood up for him but he sure as hell didn't fire David.............he couldn't. His contract was with Berry Gordy......if you don't believe anything you read in his book then don't believe that there was some kind of stupid vote..............there was only one vote that counted back then and his name was Berry Gordy..........Berry could have just as easily put David back in the group, but he didn't.......he did not need Otis' permission to do so.......and trust me.....David was fired.........if you look at the Street Gold video, Dennis says that DAvid came to him and told him they were going to replace him and it was going to be him. What other information do you need to believe he was fired, replaced, forced out whatever...........it was not a positive move is all I'm saying.......[/quote

So Berry fired David?! Well now I can't be mad at Otis anymore. . JUst kidding I wasn't mad at Otis anyway. I like David..........but surely he knew he couldn't go on missings shows and rehearsals. David was the man I think he knew or thought he'd survive without the Tempts.

The only point I have ever tried to make is that Otis wasn't soley responsible for David being let go. Many have given Otis way too much power for that time and place. I know he wasn't in that kind of position then. It was Berry's show and he was pimpin' these people like Pimpin' Sam up in Harlem.......... ;D

How could you afford to go to see the Tempts at Palasades& Freedomland,you were much too young?
Debbie,you need to go back,if you gonna question me about my post,otherwise you are at a disadvantage. You're playing the "Soul Train scramble board with my words. Having fun?
You also state that back in the day there were no publications that covered R&B. Says who? Ever heard of Jet? Ebony?....How about Tan? Soul? Ever read any of those? They didn't even take away form my candy budget! I could "squeeze $.50cents for those. How about you? I was old enough to know that the Jackson 5 didn't start R&B publications.

First of all - I stated in my post "On The Light Side" that I have been to Freedom Land & Palasides Park. What I was trying to say "On The Light Side" was that I have been too both Parks. You are correct - I was not old enough to attend any of the Tempts concerts performed there - by myself.

I did NOT say in my post - that there were NO publications about R&B Groups at that time - the statement I made was THAT THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF PUBLICATIONS being published in that time era.

You continue to post to me that I am mis-reading your posts or that I am not understanding your posts - EXCUSE ME - but you have done the same to me (example the post I have quoted above).

Go back and read some of your own posts - and you might be able to understand how you come across to people - especially how it comes across to people in reagrds to you claiming how much time you have spent with the Group - especially David.

I have also asked you to post up the publications you claim to have gathered from the vast information about the Group they have published or where you are getting your information from.

Why do you feel the NEED to continue to make RUDE posts to people who do not agree with you? In reading this board - it seems everybody is looking for a GOOD CONVERSATION.!

Your attitude is TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP - and now I feel the need to say the same thing to you.

It's none of my business how old you are,or how you got to see the shows,if any. I would only ask "Have you seen them?" I feel ,like I told you before,that you overstepped you bounderies by asking me how could afford to go to the shows.I stand behind those feelings. I hope that's not hard for you to understand...seems like you are having a problem in that aspect.

No,but the way you wrote it was like you didn't know about the one's that I listed. Truth be told,that's why I listed them...seems like you didn't know about those. If you did,you would have done without this part of your "question".
Like Issac Hayes said in his theme song SHAFT..."Damn right "you are misreading my posts. If you weren't ...you would post the ones that you take exception to...like I invited you to. I didn't misunderstand anything you wrote,I read them a few times before I responded to them. ;D

Mike, find ONE time where I called David a crack head ......... you can't. More typical twisted Mike BS. If I've called ANYONE around here a crack heard it WASN'T David.

Actually I can ... I'll help mike ... it was from last summer ... and after you called him a crackhead I called you a F**kin' Tweeker ... Remember? ... That was when I had about 25 posts ... I forget were it was ... But I remeber it VERY clearly ;D
