I haven't been following this because it doesn't interest me, but I looked at it just now.
There must be some confusion.
Russ doesn't even have a music website, and he is one of the premier musicians in the U.S. and known all over the world for his creativity, business acumen and musical ability. He has appeared on national t.v. shows, and with top-name entertainers. He plays multiple instruments and is widely known for his generous contributions to charities and worthy causes.
And as far as I have seen, Crossover is also a valuable asset and adds a lot to many topics here.
And I must add that Henni is a long-time member who has inspired many of us with his boundless energy and with his dedication to his faith.
I think there is a lot of misunderstanding going on. Maybe time to back off and consider finding positives instead of negatives?
If a post doesn't interest you, you don't have to read it. That's why I'm late to this one, but when I saw the number of posts and responses I thought I might be missing something.
Even if I can understand that you defend a long-time member who has inspired many of you on a subjective basis, what I have experienced with him here in this thread as well as a thread in the bar is the worst example of behavior I‘ve ever experienced in a forum.
I assume he mixed up Captain Russ and me when referring to a website. I don‘t care if he likes or doesn‘t like my website, and I won‘t discuss my website, there are just two things I intend to say about this issue:
1) I am a semi-professional musician who had 12 years of hard classical piano lessons at a young age, I work as a freelance piano teacher and part-time organist for the EKD (German Protestant Church), and I know hoe many people appreciate my skills, so I don‘t need any member of an arranger forum to acknowledge them
2) It tells a lot about the behavior of this long-term user when he starts making such mean personal references to a personal website when someone gets involved in a discussion on a purely matter-of-fact, non-personal basis (check the posts!). Moreover, I read the pronoun „he“ used by him - just to clarify: I am female.
If you look at what methods he uses in the discussion here, quoting users while changing their user names in the quotations and the like, this shows the degree of aggressiveness he is loaded with - which I have pity for.
I have been dealing with some books about Zen buddhism and psychology in the past months, and this thread was particularly interesting in how you are pulled into an aggressive dispute by someone even if your own posts were purely focused on the matter without any personal component.
