Aren't we often saying the same things about *everyone's* mixes?
People do tend to do what they do, don't they?

Your voice is cool, your timing is rather wonky, etc.
Aren't we always saying the same things about your mixes?
Hey, I can't help that your vocabulary is so limited.
The changes come slowly and gradually. I adjust the mixes according to the advice I get, if I deem it good (which is most of the time). It's difficult to make a drastic change when I think I have something the way it should sound, but baby steps I can handle. Then that becomes the new normal in my head. Then the next mix comes, I get the same advice, I change it a little more.
In fact, you personally are the most responsible for me not having a kick drum level that could punch a hole in your chest anymore.
Since your criticism is about timing, I could have simply explained that I recorded those drums on a Saturday night after being out drinking most of the day, but no... I first wanted you to know how much your opinion means to me.
I await your apology.

Hey, don't you lump me in with the rest of these freaks!
Just kidding, everyone else.

I hope you're not one of those people that says, "It is what it is."

Yes, your fingerprints are unique. No, that doesn't mean you're particularly special. *Everyone* has unique fingerprints. You gotta learn how to melt like the rest of us, snowflake.

Aw man I didn't mean it like that. I didn't see that the laughing smiley goes into a ridiculous fit, which looks like he's mocking you. I thought that it was just a cheeky smile when I hovered over it.
I like listening to your songs and I was writing a short critique yesterday and I noticed that it was the same thing I usually write about your stuff. The drums have improved and your newer mixes aren't as swampy as your old ones. They've improved. Didn't mean to put you down.

I have to apologize... I was joking around... wasn't pissed, vexed or discouraged in the least. Even I'M usually not dumb enough to go out and "tie one on" on a Tuesday night, but I did, badly enough that I was admonished the next morning by my boss, and I wrote this and a few other posts before I passed out. What I wrote there was meant to be a joke, except for where I spoke of my appreciation for the comments you've given me, which have led to the shit I've recorded sounding much better than it would have otherwise. So thanks, and I'm sorry.
And Dobro, if I came off as a prick, that was not my intention. You've also helped me out a lot.
I know nothing said over the internet means a goddamned thing and I feel foolish for apologizing for something that means nothing, but since you've taken the time to give me advice that helped me, I feel the need to apologize. So thanks, and sorry.
That's the last time I'll not have at least a hint of glibness in what I say. EVER. Christ, I feel dirty...

Forget it. You're fun, and I wasn't offended.
