Subject: RE: Do We Think We're Better Than Them?
It's the unreasoned responses that she has a problem with, Michael. Sometimes it seems impossible to make even the most moderate, reasonable, and non-controversial comments without provoking an extreme response.
As a example, in another, current thread, there is a serious discussion about relearning left hand technique. A member by the name of Y Not felt the need to express contempt for the whole idea by saying , " Just shut up you soft soft F### and PLAY and PLAY and PLAY..."
I've got to say that after more than a decade of earnest contribution to the forum, the urge to answer questions, figure out chords, or explain technology is often tempered by the question, "How much grief do I want to deal with?"
