Subject: RE: BS: Poll - Stop Flaming and Abusive posting
Enlighten you Blackcatter - I'm most likely not the one to attempt that but will do so at your request.
1) I've been a wandering minstrel for 30+ years. Have a large extended family of musicians, I'm not a pro, not even that good a picker, and some of the musicians are folks on this forum whom I have made music with.
2) I've a not so good memory and when I need words I can find them here.
3) I like helping people - it's what I do for a living - and have found opportunities to pay back this community with money, time, and some knowledge.
4) Because I want to.
If that answers your question - awesome. If not - well I reckon life will continue in all of its magnificent beauty.
As far as why I posted to this thread in the first place? Because I have often thought of the cat as one of the last free speech bastions. I don't always like what I read but I enjoy the freedome to read and post. Usually with some form of socially normative behavior pattern.
Far as this thread, and your response to it, the rules were that GUEST's opinions didn't count. And you posted as GUEST:Blackcatter. I don't care which name you put behind GUEST, or the rationale for it, you're still a GUEST. Heck I could have posted this response as you.
I'm sorry my IQ doesn't make me a human in your eyes. But it don't mean nothin Bro - and your calling me "idiot" makes you no better than the other flamers. I believe it is called hypocrisy. And were it I, I'd think about apologizing - but what are the odds of that happening?
