vaultofsouler Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) Who are they Self appointed, self righteous "legends in their own heads" .... What are they SAD .... Where do you find them Sadly, at times, on here .... Are they influential Only to each other .... Are they required In their own heads .... Do they even realise they're policing the scene I'd say no, more like trying to "direct" it .... Are they causing the scene to fragment Probably, with regard to attracting "sheep" who buy into it .... Comments See above .... Edited October 12, 2006 by vaultofsouler

Who are they Anyone and everyone What are they ordinary soul fans with a passion for justice and truth Where do you find them Everywhere Are they influential Possibly... Are they required Like the real police, everyone moans about them, until you need them (ie dodgy e bay rip-offs etc) then everyone is glad they're there Do they even realise they're policing the scene No.. just think they are trying to protect it. Are they causing the scene to fragment No, not at all. Comments "Evening all" Don't mind the 'Soul Police', even been accused of being a badge holder myself if you've done nowt wrong, you've got nothing to worry about

"Evening all" Don't mind the 'Soul Police', even been accused of being a badge holder myself if you've done nowt wrong, you've got nothing to worry about I'm a special constable..... if that means that I don't want to hear the same old same old week in week out don't think that a record collection gives you a given right to DJ don't want anyone who has no idea of rythem or timing doing acrobats, or some kind of gymnastic display anywhere near me - unless they are wearing a leotaed. Actually change that too PLEASE can comeone come to a nighter in a leotard and do acrobats and much more importantly anyone wearing white ankle socks and/or sporting a tash should be escorted from the building with a lifetime ban perhaps I'm just a soul snob - but thats not always such a bad thing

Comments See above . ================ Bloody hell, that could have been me answering my own post Difficult one though, cos would guess that a lot may not want to own up to being 'soul police', mainly cos they don't recognise it in themselves Interesting that your answers were so completely different to Trevs, yet you saw his comments of those of a passionate soulie. I'm not saying Trev is Soul police, or that he's anything other than a committed soulie, but where does the committment end and the policing start? Winnie:-)

Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 ============ Think you're more like the chief constable oh no Winnie - I'm special
Simsy Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 You will know if they are the Soul Police ....... They will be whistling " The Beat " . Malc Burton Anyone on the scene with an opinion could be construed as 'soul police'. The more vocal, the higher rank? So I guess folk on here are more than constables .. ps, when they write ss, do they really mean soul source?

I'm not saying Trev is Soul police, or that he's anything other than a committed soulie, but where does the committment end and the policing start? Winnie:-) Seems people's perception of what the "soul police" is are different Winnie.... like you said, I saw Trev's answers as those of any old "passionate soulie" sharing info and looking out for each other, especially regarding the eBay slant.... I see the "police" as going a lot deeper than that but difficult to explain.... usually shows in certain answers to posts where it is seen, by me IMO, to go beyond help and info and more towards "directing" people's thoughts and opinions.... I don't see Trev as a "police officer", just a "passionate soulie" hence my take on his answers.... where that stops and policing starts, is like you suggest, difficult to narrow down.... but, as stated, answers to posts shows it to me.... Maybe it's a "Good cop, bad cop" senario Mark .... probably....
vaultofsouler Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 well i slaughter people in print for playing boots so if that comes under the heading of soul police ..... so be it That's not policing Dave IMO.... just a belief in "playing format" which we know has been covered over and over again.... that's for the individual to live with behind the decks and the dancers to accept in front of them....
Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) the soul police were in evidence at bisley a few weeks ago here they are throwing out one of the promoters only joking boys...enjoy playing at the prestatyn weekender Edited October 12, 2006 by moldie
Winnie :-) Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 well i slaughter people in print for playing boots so if that comes under the heading of soul police ..... so be it ============== Not sure if that's a crime, something for the powers that be to decide?

Can someone post up in what areas they need to police or what they would put right , for example first, no boots which im sure dosen`t happen,(thats playing not wearing.)

Guest hammy Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) In many dictatorships, freedom of expression is often ruthlessly quashed. Although, this can leave a bitter taste in the mouth, there are a few benefits - such as the policing of government buildings (soul venues) to eradicate those not 'on message' . Similarly, I'd prefer cameras to be confiscated by the secret soul police, so that the impressionable proletariat wouldn't be bombarded with photos of ageing subversives - especially those intent on mischief making.

Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 If we are all SS members dedicated to the cause then are the " SOUL POLICE" an official branch of our beloved SS or are they conspirators in splinter fashion, IE are they trying to bend us over to there way of thinking? Are we being slowly moulded?
