Amos told me about this board.

I am honored I was typed about in another thread in a generally flattering way.

I have no idea exactly what really went down between Matt and Brer, but judging by Matt's last show he's genuine and funny, so both of them must still be cool.

I too noticed Jeff did not respond to Bee K's post, but there could be any number of reasons, including the one that he has not logged on since then.

I have cut back on internet, but still stopping in to say hi and to encourage free thought and free flow expression.

I'm glad you came by Barry.

I understand your feelings about the net and google. I have started my letter, soon I'll even make it down to the post office and send it. Hee hee.

When the buzz gets you surfing, drop us a line. :)

This music thing is my life, and I just can't be consigned to posting/talking about it in a forum where I'm so frequently discouraged from posting, scolded for my opinions, barred from posting about shows, etc.... Anyone can do this, its not rocket science. Takes a real techie to make it look nice, but then again I don't hear Dibs or Solena playing or singing like me...

I put the link on the OJ Board.

Matt tells people to quit posting, or to "take a break" so frequently, it should be a drinking game... F that s. I'm not saying its not a good idea sometimes, just that its ludicrous for everyone to accept that he should be the arbiter of who should be posting or not.

I get the feeling that Matt doesn't like seeing his friends getting angry at one another and getting bent outta shape and writing mean shit at each other that ends in some hatefuck of misery. That site is his baby. I imagine he feels some ultimate responsibility for it's content. I think thats reasonable.

I stand by all of my content, until it is proven to be based on fallacy, but, not all of my tone. There is always a way to get a point across without belittling. But we've all been taught that method of proving ourselves right: Demean and denigrate the crap out of the "opposition". I'm not saying that you do this. I am saying that it happens. I have done it and had it done to me. I can see some of the venom, still dripping, from some old posts, and I hate it. It didn't help anyone see my point of view any clearer.

I try, now, to be more careful with the way I say things. Even though I know you won't ever tell me to take a break.

Anyway, I think its good to have more places to talk. And if you feel freer here, then here is where its at! I like it here!

That's how I see it.
