I'd like to express my delight at the level of discussion found here today. This is what I'd hoped to have found when I was participating here back some 10-15 years ago.
Back then, what I found instead was a vast ocean of musical ignorance, and stubbornly entrenched adherence to opinions formed out of that ignorance. Things deteriorated from there, which led the rancor to which Rob Law and others have referred.
I hasten to add that I wasn't the bad guy. I merely couldn't tolerate ignorance about music and opinions blasted out into cyberspace based on that ignorance as if they were fact. Also, at times, I also wasn't exactly pleased when someone disagreed with me [but only when I knew that I was 100% correct].
OTOH, there were several characters who simply attacked others with no cause. I sure as hell wasn't going to back down from some rage-a-holic looking to take out his BS frustration and aggression on the internet.
So far, only JDaniels has shown a predisposition towards attacking me without cause. I've held back from responding as the situation deserves to avoid being banned right away, but also because he's recently shown some fluency in harmonic analysis, which is generally a rare thing these days.
Unfortunately, he's also shown a regretful tendency to be wrong, either slightly off-center wrong or way-the-hell-out-in-left-field wrong, about everything else, so I'll have to apply corrective measures as needed.
I'm hoping that, given the possibly higher level of discussion now possible, we may avoid any repetition of past unpleasantness.
