I didn't see the 'offending' messages since I was away most of yesterday when this all took place. However I found it rather hard to believe that Jonny Gunnar or Alain would have posted offending messages. Jonny Gunner has always been most helpful to anyone needing Technic's help. Alain has also been around a long time and has always posted friendly messages. I hope it's not against the rules to mention another keyboard manufacturer?

I would prefer to not see censorship getting started on here again. This is such a friendly place, and the last time we had censorship it turned into a war zone for awhile. If people start flaming each other or posting obscene messages that would be different, but we don't see to have that kind of trouble here.

The thread was very interesting and I'm sorry it was closed before I got a chance to post in it.

He to all.

About trouble makers.

I had a problem with Douglas. It began with a message in which I regretted that the new keyboard Technics KN2400 hasn't style disk direct neither an area to load external styles in the keyboard. In that sense (only in that sense), I said that the Yamahas are better. Well, my message was not considered offensive by Bepop (obviously, it was not offensive at all), and it was not deleted.

Nevertheless, Douglas attacked against my message and against my person. He said not very pleasant things about me and "my intentions". His message could be considered offensive, as I answered to Douglas. But his message was not deleted.

Afterwards, Douglas and me made peace, as adult and nice persons we are, and not more troubles. That is all. Each person post here its arguments, and respect for all.

I read some previous messages from Gunnar, and it is rare to my thinking that he can send offensive messages. But I cannot judge, do not know them.

At the end, I believe Bepop is a honest and practical man, and Gunnar too. So, I cannot understand what's the problem here.

All that is a pity, and my desire is that this forum continue being a kingdom of peace and flavor for music.

Best wishes to all

I come into this board daily, and yet failed to see the 'offending' posts ... I agree whole heartedly with the above quote from tracknet. I feel a debt of gratitude to BeBop for all he has done, both with this site, and off it. I also have a great deal of respect for Gunnar Jonny, as he was quite helpful to me and many others, especially in the early stages of my 'technics' career, and cannot recall any message of his being offensive ...
Having not seen the posts in question, I cannot comment on them ..... however, I have seen posts, perhaps not necessarily on this site, where a writer, in praising whatever kb brand he (I say 'he' because the vast majority of forum members appear to be men) might have, actually becomes derisive of the choice of another brand, and in doing so, intentionally or not, insults the intelligence of the individual who has chosen the 'other' brand ... So, the other party retaliates, and before you know it there is an ugly thread on the board.
Obviously, BeBop took offense to the way the thread was going, and did something about it. I still wrestle with my own opinion regading such type of 'censorship', but I do believe one thing..... This is Nigel's building and he has put BeBop in charge of this area ... we are invited guests, and as any guest, should abide by the wishes of the one who's area we are in ... If BeBop wishes this board too be a fun, educational place, free from the bickering and backstabbing sometimes found on other sites, then I think we, as guests, have an obligation to abide by those wishes.... If anyone has a personal 'beef' with another forum member, take care of it in private e-mail.....
Keep making beautiful music,
Peace, Love, and Patience....

This topic was put up to explain why the other topic was closed and not for this gunner dude to start a flame war.
Garbage (flame) posts will continue to be deleted as long as I am working here.
