Well Diki humiliated him, and it must have hurt his feelings.
But I remember when Fran along with a couple of others completely excorciated Scott Yee's website demo (which I thought, while not beyond criticism, sounded pretty decent). When Scott said that he was leaving the forum, Fran pretty much said, "Good riddance."
If I dished it out like that, I would more than expect to get a dose of my own medicine.
I hope Fran - and Scott come back to the forum.
I've been slammed on this and other forums. You should cry and get over it. I've had people say my songs suck and my voice sucks. How do you think that feels? I have had people say I'm an ignoramous after getting many people involved for days in figuring out why I wasn't getting any sound out of EZDrummer, I figured out that all the tracks but the EZDrummer one were on solo.
People are never going to be as nice on the internet as they are in person. That's human nature.
Now the people at the Yamaha PK Owner forum are the nicest of any of the keyboard forums I've seen, but they have the imprimateur of Yamaha Corp so they have to be good sports.
Good luck Fran.
