Al, WHAT A LOAD OF CR**! JUST KIDDING...JUST KIDDING...JUST KIDDING...JUST KIDDING!

As you have probably guessed, I TOTALLY agree with you!

Well put, my friend!

Yep, sad to say, some of the very long term members tended to be the amongst the most verbally abusive, and disrespectful.

You and I have discussed this at other times.

The deliberate hijacking of posts, the baiting, the real petty stuff was usually done by those who should know better, and were probably on the forum ever since it's inception. A lot of the newcomers wouldn't stay for long. Can't say I blame them.

It appears to be much more civil now, and I notice a few new names in the threads, and I hope they stay around and continue to contribute to this really nice, and very interesting forum.

And yes, Al, if we were to all meet in the same room, person to person, there would be a lot less of these shenanigans.

Hello everyone....

Just my 2 cents....I will add that could be also a big sense of insecurity, and the need to be acknowledge or to be notice, probably is what they became bullies, using the "passive-aggressive" rhetoric, and/or not the least to consider....mental illness.

For what I have seen....past behavior is the best way to predict future behavior on those individuals, is not the first time that they have done it.
I will say that when (BS) was happening, I did not post on the forum as many of people I know did the same, now that is peaceful, you will see more of"us".

But, we are Happy now.!!!!

Mdorantes,

I think your are right passive-aggressive people are dangerous, in empolyment they are murder to work with,I think your post may have sealed someone's fate which would be no bad thing!

I am so glad to see you and several others back to posting on this forum. There are even a few new names I do not recognize.

Because of the great positive post, on another thread, by our buddy, Kla4 (Roel DeJonge), and his uploading of a really cool medley of tunes that showcased the Tyros4's great styles and sounds (and his fine talent), I even posted a tune myself...and I haven't done that in a very long time.

This place is to share our friendship, and to have fun, and I hope to see more sharing of our music, and the knowledge we have learned as players...those are things we all have in common.

Thanks for a very well expressed post, mdorantes.

Ian
