It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Then & Now - Is JDaniels The New Rob?

Jeez. I used to run into EXACTLY this sort of this 10 years ago, when this place was filled with music dummies. Yes - dummies. There's no better word for them. Those folks just weren't educated musically. But, each and every one of them had stubbornly held opinions. They'd read a crap load of liner notes, jumped to conclusions on the basis of that, and filled in the yawning gaps in their knowledge with crap they made up.

I'd post something, such as what I've posted above, and I'd get exactly JDaniels's sort of loud, raging response - 100% missing my point or just being 100% wrong.

After I'd explain the whole error to them, they'd respond with even MORE rage and stubborn insistence on their untenable and erroneous positions. There was one enormously lengthy thread where I'd corrected a rock n roller about his erroneous attempts at harmonic analysis. I gave him the correct answer. For weeks, he shot back post after increasingly hysterical, angry post desperately trying to assert his erroneous ideas and save face.

One particular handful was called Rob. He was from Amsterdam. You couldn't convince him of anything, no matter how wrong he was [which he was most of the time]. I understand that he eventually killed himself. No - I didn't lead him to it.
Severius! Supremus Invictus
