I won't take back what I wrote because I feel that it needed to be said.
I dismiss your work because your attitude towards others has given me the right to.
You haven't done anything to harm me personally, but I feel that you have harmed the community.
On the old message board you were rude and discouraging to other musicians that were new to the board. This kind of behavior doesn't sit well with me and is also what disappoints me the most about this board and the punk community in general.
* I also don't feel you deserve your own thread just because your friends with the moderator, but whatever. I hope you understand where I am coming from. Peace.
i don't have any specific memory of an instance like this. my memories of the board include being the moderator of the tour section and specifically helping all sorts of bands get shows, as well as booking a ton wherever i lived. i don't believe i have ever made a habit of talking down to anyone who plays music on a message board, especially this one where i have been active in the community for 12 or more years and have made a ton of friends through it.
i am truly sorry if i am forgetting an instance where i was mean to a new person, but i truly believe you've either mixed me up with someone, or have a distorted memory concerning this.
regardless, your tone and aggression in your original post is unwarranted and unnecessary. solving problems comes from a good, consistent line of communication. i am happy to foster that, but you've been hostile and accusatory without any real facts being presented. this doesn't really present any reason for me to treat you, nor your accusations, with respect... but here i am trying to do so because i want a better understanding of what upset you.
as for the thread about my music, jer covered it in his last message. as previously stated i have been involved in this community for a long time, and furthermore have rarely used it as a platform to promote what i have been doing. this thread was to share something i have been working on for a long time with a group of people i feel comfortable around, and it seems you are the only person who is taking issue with me using it as such.
