I agree with Roel. And it's not really their opinion I have issues with; I actually welcome contrasting opinions to strengthen my own. It's actually the tone and the way they come across. It seems to be an overall lack of personal respect,civility, friendship, and camaraderie. When a member get's a new keyboard on this forum, whether it's a Korg, Roland, whatever, I am happy for that player. I don't denigrate that members new keyboard by complaining about their post or their excitement. Can everyone else say the same?

@Gary,

Please let me know when your next cruise embarks, I'd love to meet both of you gentlemen and have some "refreshments".

When are you going to retire down here Gary, the weather is amazing!

Regards,

It's just a simple discussion. We are all happy when someone gets some new toy.Why do people take it personal?
It is becoming like religion. And with any mass religion, you just nod your head and say yes no matter what they throw your way.Don't think too much, you might not like the answer.
Lighten up.

Al, I hope to make another cruis down to Florida in September of 2015, if my health holds up. As for retirement, my wife says I have to be dead at least three days, then I can retire and do anything I want.

cheers,

Gary

We should plan a Florida get-together..........clink!!

I think you're right, Charlie.

This site has never been as soft and fuzzy as some of the others I belong to. This is more of an observation than a criticism. There are some strong willed individuals with strong opinions here. I have made some friends here and have learned many things here........ But there could be some improvement to the mutual respect here. It sometimes reminds me of the difference between FOX and NBC news. Same news stories covered so differently.............but diversity is the spice of life I suppose? Sometimes I prefer saffron to hot peppers.........-charley

Fox news usually forget one little thing which is crucial for a news station.FACTS.hehee

Don't they ALL!!!

That's true Tony
