After my last post,I recieved an insulting PM from a member who
let me know in uncertain terms what he thought of my posts to the forum.He used the PM as he said this dosen`t need to go public.
I have no intention of starting a "Facebook"type of confrontation
so I leave you with an Irish blessing.

Hate to see you go, old friend. Good luck in all your future endeavors,

Gary

Terry if it was not constructive , it is out of place.. Since it was insulting, PM is a coward at best... I have no respect for anyone that can't say a comment to your face..

I am sure they don't want SZ folks know who they are.. so you have an ace in the hole, if you decide to use it.

Don't fret... let them move on... not you.

Terry don't go we need you here....
the heck with who ever sent you that....
please stay

To send insulting PM's or messages to any member watever reason is big no-no, so I would say that this is a matter that should be forwarded to our excellent admin / moderator Nigel.

I don’t think Nigel can see who send this pm but if he can this person should be banned.

Don't abandon everyone because of one misguided person. Continue to enjoy and contribute to the Forum. Its a great group of people.

Please consider the source and stay where you're appreciated.

And you ARE!

Consider this: If you are manipulated by that person to abandon a forum that otherwise gives you something positive, you give this stupid person the power to influence your life - exactly what he or she wants. If you instead just ignore the message, you are independent from that stupidity. Best regards

I don't know you, but I frequent this forum every night. I seldom post but enjoy everyone's comments. It seems to me that a while back people used to be much more courteous to one another. As others have said, please don't leave because someone left you a rude message. Don't give them the pleasure of you leaving. Give us the pleasure of you staying.

I have tried to follow the rule of offering 'constructive criticism' where and when I can or offering nothing at all ...

There is always a danger in offering even constructive criticism in that it might not be received in the manner it was intended ...
That being said, being out and out insulting to another member is just not right ...

But Terry, we must remember that one person's opinion is just that - an OPINION, and not to be crude, but like a$$holes, everybody has one ...

Stick around ... we're not ALL bad people ...

I also received a terse pm a while back. I just ignore the source and move on. By the amount of positive response, I'd say do the same as I did.

Bullying should not be allowed to flourish or force our family of musicians away from this site.
Please don't let a lowlife or a person who thinks it ok to bully people get to you Terry.

Terry - I vote for you to stick around. We are all works in progress and this forum offers us all knowledge and motivation to keep working/playing. Please reconsider and remain part of the group - the bad apples are far outnumbered by the good ones!

Leave it to Donny ...

I hope the person who'd pull a stunt like that would now have the moral fibre to absent himself from this forum. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Keep on keeping on, Terry.

Love the 4 Seasons, but So prefer this version...
With THAT said .... yeah, stay!
