Point taken, Pacesetter.

My feeling is the reaction to the God comment was a little over blown. Larry's been a great addition to our forum and wasn't trying to be controversial in any way. IMO, what he said wasn't even controversial in the least.

There's also a bit of a language difference between those of us in the US and the member who seemed to take umberage with the God comment...

Just stuff to consider...

Well, trust me, if Lucky's post had said nothing in life is irreplaceable other than his Yamaha (or Korg, or whatever), a veritable sh*tstorm of protest would probably have broken out!

So, it's pretty easy to see where most of our priorities lie... What does this say about us that we have more tolerance of different religious views than each others' choice of arranger manufacturer?

And there's no issue with the names of God and Donny being on the same thread. I've used both names in the same sentence many times!

I'm just glad I'm not under any fatwah...

....as far as you know.

Donny's Muslim..? I never knew that!

I was more expecting the Spanish Inquisition... Hold on...

NO-ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

What's next? An arranger Jihad?

I'M offended........by the "disclaimer."

Why does it have to be for "humor" only? Do you have something against sad people? Or people who DON'T exhibit humor? Are you trying to differentiate between humorous religions and fundamentalist religions? Are you implying that someone should have a particular faith that embraces humor? What if someone likes to be offended? ...and you qualify your offensive remark to remove the "sting" from it? Aren't you then denying them the right to be masochistic and self-mutilating? Wouldn't you be trampling on the individual rights of people to make a determination whether a statement is offensive or not?

Hey Bill, just taking it to the extreme. Remember what I said...no matter what you write, someone will find it "offensive!"

Back to the drawing board......I'm working on learning Petit Fleur.

See, guys! It's unfortunate that Donny's gone (and I'll be glad when/if he's back), but the last 1/2 dozen posts or so are FUNNY, entertaining and show real intelligence and interpersonal skills.

This is the way I like it!
