You won't have Alan Hyatt to kick around, but...

Maybe we could just have them publically stoned, flogged, or beheaded ?
 
Then the whipping. :) No. Some of us might like that too much.

Tar and feathers, anyone?
 
I'll be bold and step out and say that the people that seemed like they did the most flaming of these experienced guys, sounded like they REALLY belonged in the amatuer(like need big-time help) catagory at the MP3 clinic, as compared to some of the really good stuff that you frequently hear there. (that is if they even posted anything either:rolleyes: ). I think that says a lot in itself, and I'd like Alan to take notice of such thing. Brent too.... and an early welcome aboard.
 
Beheading may be a bit extreme, but I'm in favor of stoned and flogged!

Whachu' talkin' 'bout, Willis?
 
did you ever feel like you were at an ass kissing contest?

i dont know what all happened but its too bad alan doesnt have a thicker skin cause its "the more the merrier" at these forums and its more enjoyable when theres more posting!

from what ive seen of alan's posts they are much better reading than average.

its not nice to be not nice!

studio projs is coming out with a little mic preamp with "tube drive" (toob) for 200$?

b******** has a big tube drive preamp for 200$!

what we need is a real tube 2 channel preamp for 500$ or less!

we want nice sounding all tube signal paths for cheap!
 
It is very obvious why I left this group. The mere mention of my name starts Mutt and Jeff flamming me all over again. I am happy that Harvey said as much in his post. Thank you Harvey :D

I think HR is a good thread, and I really would like to hang here. The problem is with a few guys wanting to act as God for the rest of the group by inflicting their will on the others no matter what the others think. I suppose if these offenders had so much knowledge to offer the group, they would have their own audio companies and forums as well.

I respect that HR does not interfere, but there has to be a point where one says enough is enough. No one wants to walk the streets and be mugged everytime they take a walk, and no one wants to get mugged every time they make a post or answer a direct question.

Maybe Brent Casey will have better luck, but I know he will not stand for any flamming and he will leave very quickly if that happens.

As for the rest of you who do support me and enjoy my posts or assistance, and even my New York kind of manner..:eek: you can show that support by coming over to recording.com and jump on my forum as well. Harvey will be there, as will Brent, Malcolm Toft, Steven Paul, and many other pro audio related guest appearances.

I am not asking you to ban HR, I am just saying spend some time with us at RO...you just might like it. I am not in to censorship at all, but there is no need for harrasment here and there will be none at RO, as that will not be tolerated.
 
Thanks for the invite Alan, I guess I'll see you there!
P.S. Just picked up your T3 and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.

Hey, Allen, :D

Get it right; it's "Stephen", not "Steven".

I in TOTAL agreement with Alan about HR and just about ready to dump the site from my list of daily visits. This situation has gotten totally out of control and now the self appointed spam cops are generating more crap than the very people they are supposably policing. On one recent thread one guy posted a simply message about the upcoming FMC mic pre and there are 13 messages that argued whether this was an approaprate post.

The forums are quickly becoming a waste of time when you have to read through more post from the spam cops than actual information.

when you get my age, young man, shedding a few pounds isn't as easy as it was back 'when.'

Now...if you cut off some people's heads...it'll happen instantly.

Alan? Do you think its possible I could learn more from these guys than a person who already has great experience with a $100 mic and a $200 pre? :D

Its such a toss up.

By the way, I do wish you'd post here. Despite the occasional crap, I love HR and plan to stay around. I'll check out your forum though. It sounds great!
 
The real value of this board to me is the free lessons I get from the VERY FEW people with loads of PRO experience. I mean DECADES of pro experience.

Their number on this board has dwindled. In fact, it's nearly down to one.

There's a bit of the soul of an artist in the best recordists, and they are necessarily sensitive types. Sermons about having a thick skin on the internet are irrelevant. If we got what we deserved, we'd none of us be getting free advice from pros.

Near worthless amatuer opinion abounds on the web. You needn't travel far to hear someone who's just returned from the guitar mart with his first large diaphram condenser tell how it rocks, man! I value this less than bodily waste.

A lot of this stuff is toungue in cheek and just friendly chiding.

Admittedly, a lot of it isn't.


But if you can't tell the wheat from the chaff how can you tell the hype from the real deal???

Each person will have to make up his or her own mind. It's what adults do. And as far as most of us are concerned, political and economic rants in recording equipment forums - especially those whose purpose is to interrupt an existing discussion about recording equipment - fall into the CHAFF category. Discussions about recording equipment would then be the WHEAT. Get it? It's a tough distinction, I know.... :rolleyes:

Pot.

Kettle.
