Well, this forum should be fun... any dissenting opinion from the forum moderators gets banned

Just to remind you... CraigUK a while ago tried to post a recording of Chet Atkins (I think it was him playing) and tried to claim it as his own work in an attempt to win some stupid arguing point. Desperate tactics, despicable ethics, and ultimately, discovered and disgraced.

Yep, THAT'S a forum I want to be involved in Now, of course, should he want to win an argument, he won't have to lie. He can just ban the poster.

Don't you jusr HATE it when people remember stuff...?

I vaguely remember that issue...I believe I was away doing clinics at the time when it went on...was Craig banned from SZ because of it?

A legendary thread it was...

Rory, (FAEbGBD), was the first and only one to point out the scam, while some members were busy praising Craig and some others blasting FAEbGBD, or both.

I commented it sounded like a record...

And then someone found the original recording by Chet Atkins and the ceiling fell over on our heads.

I like history...

I believe I praised CraigUK initially, being unwilling to believe anyone here would even attempt a despicable deception like that. Boy! Was I wrong!

After that, I am unwilling to take his word that the sun comes up in the East...

No posters have been banned on PAP and will never be, unless there is a good reason to do so.
Nielshs was simply not allowed to join and it has nothing to do with past events. I'm surprised he wanted to join anyway, since his opinions of who runs the forum are very low.
Anyway I've asked about the Saltwater situation and although it was a long time ago, it was a stupid thing to do.
The reason it was done did come out and everyone who knows Craig very well, also knows the background behind it and the full story.
At the end of the day, if you want to join do so, if not fair enough.
Craig was not banned from SZ and neither have others been on here who have done similar. It is NOT the first time something like this has happened on here or other forums, so people should think on before digging up the past

Thank you very kindly for answering my question, Keyman.

I have found Craig to be a very knowledgeable guy and a great person...I have spoken to him several times by phone.

The new forum is very well presented, and well worth joining, in my opinion...there is even a whole section on the new Ketron Audya for those who are interested.

Craig has asked me to post this for him. Many of you will probably laugh, but those who have any sense on here (and there are some) just may understand:


At the time in question I had just been made redundant. I was suffering from severe depression and was on very strong medication. I came on SZ in order to relax and chat with like minded musicians, but because of a certain few on here, who were simply out to gun anything down I posted at the time, I basically did something totally stupid that I regret and I apologised to everyone that I knew soon after and do so again.
Whether it was down to the tablets turning me into a complete pillock to put it blunt is anyones guess, but what's done is done. If anyone wants to dig it up and get some sort of kick out of it again then do so.
I've moved on, posted many of my OWN songs on the YPKO forum that people have heard and I now have the sense not to let work or people drag me down.
I hope that shines some light on this matter.

Regards,
Craig

Hi

Craig (Keyman_UK) is and will always be a liar. His knowledge about keyboards is not from his own experiences but from serveral online manuals (except from a couple of models). He also have a bad habit to make serveral usernamens on forums. He is a big manipulator.

Hello Nielshs.
I think you've just summed up why you were not allowed on the forum. By the way I am not Craig and neither is Snazzy, so I've no idea what your problem is? Neither do I want to know or care.
