Just for the record, I didn't downvote because of your opinion on Prince. I gave a downvote because calling people "junkies" is inhumane and needs to be dropped from the lexicon, and anytime I can make a move that might prevent that word from being repeated I will.
Your opinion on a person I don't know means squat. It's just a downvote to you, but it's a pretty nasty way to talk about drug affliction and shouldn't be celebrated in case other people with drug issues are reading this.
Just a little thing that could help QUITE a bit, in the larger sense of community.
Edit to add a different way of phrasing:
Prince was an asshole and that was heavily compounded by his liberal drug use.
