NOPE!

WHY?

BECAUSE WE (HERE ON SYNTHZONE) LOVE CONTROVERSY.

EXAMPLE:

Here are a few recent posts and the number of responses.

Reviews---abacus replies = 0

Custom Styled Jewish Music---shim replies = 0

Digital Fake Book---Jerryghr replies = 1

Michele Voncken plays Latin ......Yamaha syle---Dnj replies = 0

Thumb drive and Tyros 1---Songman55 replies = 1

please help loading PA800 OS---Chattanooga replies = 2

Tyros 2 using a 320MG extenral Hard Drive---BEBOP replies = 1

AND THE WINNER IS......

Tyros 3 x Roland e-80, which one is better for OMB?---Telmo replies = 67

Yep, count 'em, 67. Why? Because 'which one is better' has 'pissin' contest written all over it.

For whatever it's worth, it is very unlikely that the MEEK will inherit the earth. Okay, back to the football game.

....and WHY do we like controversy? Because...it distracts us from what's really important. Like.......practicing!

Conflict is the lifeblood of a forum.

I love that this place has it's own consistant original finger printed behaviour style that comes with it.Synthzone gets my approval of not only two thumbs up,but two big toes too!

A place where all think alike, is a place where no one thinks very much.

Ian

I LOVE you guys !!!!!

I love this place. If you are not the one being flamed, let them go. Most are really friends anyway.

I shouldn't trash this place as much as I do. It is what it is. I come here every day.......sometimes I'm not even sure why. Do we really, really love each other??? Probably not.............but it's the thought that counts. -charley

One two cha cha cha.

Ian,
'A place where all think alike, is a place where no one thinks very much.'

What you said...I like..

We should really try to be gentlemen (and lady's) about it though!
At least most of the time....

You have to factor in that 27 of those replies were Ian and Donny. And that it went OT pretty quickly (guilty as charged!). Take a read of the thread and count how many actually answered the question, and the numbers aren't much higher than the rest of the forum

As to the 'technical' threads, most of those are asked and answered on more manufacturer specific threads, and why duplicate it?

Few here have or care for Wersi. Fewer yet for klezmer music. The Voncken has been posted and discussed before, Donny just starts these things as a reason to extoll/bash whatever he is/isn't currently playing.

There really IS a reason this is the GENERAL arranger forum. This is where we discuss the differences (good and bad) between arrangers, and kaffeeklatsch with each other. If I want an answer to a Roland specific question, I go to Roland-arranger.com. A Korg user will get a faster answer (and less OT) at Korgforums.com.

But you WON'T get as diverse (and passionate, for good AND bad!) a range of opinions there on comparative differences. Each has it's good and bad points. The specific manufacturer sites are usually a bit cut and dried, one viewpoint (or more so than here!), more technical. Here, you EXPECT diversity. Sadly, some can't manage to discuss this diversity without rancor and spite, and that's what sours this place.

NOT the diversity itself...

Why can't we all just get along??

Because most of us aren't in the Christmas holiday spirit yet perhaps? Excluding me of course.

Feliz Navidad

Best,
Mike

Perhaps the EggNog isn't strong enough this year..., or maybe it's a tad too strong for some.

Sadly that seems to have been the case for a lot of the recent topics.

And..the more posts...diverse it gets.

Funny how this topic started as simply "can't we all just get along".., yet it has been reduced to another single member bash. Donny hasn't even posted under this topic.., yet he has been dragged into it already.

One two cha cha cha.

I think it's just a case of "boys being boys". And, I'm not being sexist...the ladies here just have mors sense!

It's addictive.

Jeez, you guys ought to hang out at some political forums, or some sports ones...

This place is a PARADISE of well behaved, articulate and polite discourse by comparison...

I think we ARE all 'getting along'

eggnog??........................

Can you make it with vodka? just a thought......................-charley
