Jeff Klopmeyer Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 It's really rude to post private communications. Just FYI. I personally don't care what topics you post here, and people are welcome to take it or leave it. But posting emails, PMs and the like has been a no-no as long as there's been an internet. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakka Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I was quite civil, wasn't I? :) In this case I don't mind having my PM posted, because I think everyone here agrees with me. I didn't tell him what to post, I just asked a question about his avoiding music topics [i]completely[/i] here at mp. Since I personally choose to not post in (or read) political threads, one might think I don't care about politics, but I do know what "facist" means. And I also know that it's spelled "fascist." :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieP Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I agree with Jeff... posting PMs is a big no-no! Don't care much for politics... don't like and participate in off topic political threads! I wanna discuss 'bout music, new equiptment, new plugins...etc...etc... yes Brakka, you were too civil!

Anifa Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I am in agreement also about posting private messages on the public boards; very uncouth. However, I do believe that Brakka was very cordial about his inquiry into your identity and purpose. We have a lot of multiple personalities that troll these boards that like to add fuel to the flames without contributing anything of relevance to on-topic discussions. If Brakka's approach had been in a form of character assassination, or threats of any type, or he had told you to go the hell away; it would be entirely different. I don't condone personal attacks through private messages or personal emails; these forms of derrogatory attacks should be forwarded to the moderators to be handled at an individual level, rather than to exploit the issue. In this situation though; YOU are the one with egg on your face as Brakka did not DISS you in any way. You can take the man away from his music, but you can't take the music out of the man.

patrick_dont_fret Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 You know what I really dislike? People posting two or more threads about the [b]EXACT SAME THING[/b] . For example, the Dell Dude threads. Two threads, where there should only be but one. It's really a waste of space to make several threads about the same thing. Now to make a thread about Bush doing one thing, and another thread about Bush doing another thing is different, but not the same exact thing. That's my qualm for the day.

Cowbell Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Yeah, the whole posting [b]private messages[/b] is a huge no-no. Yeah, I don't want to come to this music forum and see a crapload of political threads. Who's dumb enough to do that? He could be a drummer though,who knows.

Nawledge Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Am I the only one who sees how stupid this is, he's been slapped on the wrist for being rude fine but also people are telling him that no one is telling him what to post while they are obviously telling him what to post. this is stupid. finito :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakka Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I thought it was polite to share my feelings with Bill in private, not in public as someone mentioned. I personally see no "fascism" here. Bill's right to free speech cannot be defended without defending mine, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anifa Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I don't know why anyone is feeding this troll. Bill Foster, Bill Poster, and all of it's clones have been reinventing new screen names with a variable of the name for SEVERAL MONTHS now. It's childs play! It's all the same person and "IT" will argue with itself just to stir the kettle. I think that it should be a violation of forum policy to have multiple identifications registered to ONE IP address. If I wanted to do a repeat of when Miles released the IP address of Ashley Judd a while back; I "DO" have the ability to track the IP addresses of every poster on this forum, if I so chose to do it I could compare the IP addresses to see how many skitzos we have aboard. How would Bill Foster like his IP address being exposed? I don't suppose it would be any more sleezy than posting PRIVATE CORRESPONDANCE on public message boards without the consent of the other party. I won't stoop to that level, but trust me on this one... Bill Foster IS a troll.

Anderton Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 We all have better things to do with our time, so I'm closing this thread (you're welcome!). * Please do not post PMs in a thread. * If you judge someone as being a troll, please do not respond to them. If you don't consider someone a troll, by all means engage in constructive dialog. * Please remember that SSS does change people, and many who started off antagonistically are now respected members. This forum is open to all but if you want to discourage someone from coming back, don't respond. If you want them to come back, respond. It's really quite simple. As to freeware acoustic impulses, there are a bunch on the Sonic Foundry site. What's going on here at SSS is very unimportant in the grand scheme of things, yet powerful in its own way. I undestand that some people feel possessive about its vibe but remember, I've been doing this since 1995 and I've seen it go through more gyrations than a pole dancer at an Atlanta strip joint. Don't get too worked up, it's just characters floating across a CRT. The world has enough problems, the least we can do is HELP each other in this little oasis. Respect the opinions of others, and if you want to change their opinions, use facts, logic, and most of all, compassion.
