From looking at your prior posts, it seems you only want people to stroke you. I have seen no posts where you help out other members of this forum.

Why is it you feel someone should throw some love your way?

Just curious. Maybe I am wrong...
 
Damn. For half a moment there, I thought you were quoting the Dalai Lama. I mean, I thought *you* were quoting him. :D

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I asked for opinions on my mixes.
I didn't ask for your love, you fucking fathead.
What makes you think I want it?
It's not my job to help out other members of this forum, although at over 9000 posts, you might think it's your job.
Show me where it says in the forum rules that you must meet some certain standard to get a mix opinion?
This from someone who pimps their own studio in their signature...
Grow the fuck up...

It's not my job to help out other members of this forum, as I'm almost never here, although at over 18,000 posts, you might think it's your job.
(You're NOT the moderator????)

Grow the fuck up..
18,000 posts...really?
Are you really helping people with your condescending attitude, precious..or just pimping your CD in your signature?

Now lets see if you retaliate on people who don't agree with you...
 
I just trawled through five pages of links to your posts on this site. You've been here since 2001. At first you were involved in a lot of gear talk, but more recently it's lots of postings to this forum, and everything I clicked on was you working your own threads. I didn't find one post where you commented on somebody else's mix. I think Jimmy was being accurate.

Is there a requirement that you must comment on other people's mixes to get a comment on your own?
To have the moderator of the forum call a person out in public, because the moderator decided that person hasn't contributed enough, is unprofessional and absurd.
Jimmy is accurate that I don't comment on other peoples mixes..because other people's art is subjective.
If they like it..it's good.
If someone wants my opinion, pm a link.
You'd rather trawl through five pages of my posts than comment on the mixes?????
What happened to this place??
It used to be about music...

An unwritten rule, sort of. On some sites, there's actually a three-to-one rule in the listening forum: you have to comment three times on other people's stuff for every thread you start with your own stuff.

There's been some discussion in this forum recently about people who post here only to promote their own stuff. Some people even wrote songs about it. If Jimmy's trying to get contributors up to speed with making the forum stronger by encouraging people to listen to each other's stuff, then I'm for Jimmy.

So why should anybody comment on your stuff, then?

Why's a PM necessary? Why not post stuff in the forum, which is what it's designed for? Why the need for a private conversation? This place thrives on shared information.

Yup. I wanted to find out if Jimmy knew what he was talking about. (He did.) I wanted to find out if Greg was blowing you off for a good reason. (He was.) I wanted to find out what sort of person you've been on this site. (You've been here for a long time, you're interested in recording, but you seem not to be interested in anybody's music but your own.)

This place is all about the music. Listen to some of it. You'll hear stuff here that you won't hear in commercial recordings. It's great.

Do you know me?
No.
How much I post here isn't anybody's business, unless someone intends to bully someone.
You don't have to comment on my stuff, if you don't want to... I have no pre-conditions for you to give your opinion or not.
You don't have to contribute to my life a certain amount before you give an opinion.
Unlike this forum...
I didn't ask for your specific opinion, I asked for anyone's opinion..
Why don't you high and mighty folks just limit posts to people who have a certain amount of experience?
Because it's wrong..and you know it.
The forum should be for everyone, regardless of the amount you contribute.
No one is deserving of less respect because they don't contribute to your standards.
You have the nerve to ask "Why should anybody comment of my stuff?"
How fucking smug and superior can you get...

Sigh...

I had the nerve to ask why anybody should listen to your stuff because you said (and I quote):

"Jimmy is accurate that I don't comment on other peoples mixes..because other people's art is subjective."

It's a logic thing. If you say you don't comment on other people's music because art is subjective, then it's logical to say that nobody should comment on your stuff, because your stuff is art and subjective too, right? Do you really want to say that?

Anyway, all this back and forth between us is a waste of time because this thread's probably gonna get deleted after all the flaming. Look at you - all upset and butthurt and vibrating - you know what your best post was tonight? That mini-review you did of Frits' song. For one moment there, you were part of the forum. Think about it.

The difference is I was speaking for myself. You were speaking for everybody...
I'd delete the thread myself if I could..
wow...what a condecending prick...
 
Well, now I know what you're like, anyway. And I still don't feel like commenting on your stuff.
 
But instead of feeling so challenged and hurt and dishing out insults, why tf not just join in and have a good time? Christ, how hard would it be to help people out once in a while? I mean, *you* are asking for input here, right? So what about a little give and take?
