Subject: RE: No such thing as a B-sharp
////Josepp, I promised you in a PM that I wouldn't reveal your YouTube identity on Mudcat. I've kept that promise and will continue to do so. Neither have I commented on your videos on your YouTube channel, and I won't comment directly here. But - I will say, from what I've seen, that your quote above is, as we say over here, "a bit thick".////
Relax, Will, I'm just trolling. I want to run this thread up past 400 posts and beyond. People here are like Afghans after that pastor burned that koran. Rioting and hurting each other and it's like--what the hell for? He's some dork in Florida!! Apparently my words actually matter to these people--god knows why. Half the stuff I said I didn't even mean. I am as much of a nobody as has ever existed. Hell, my knowledge of music theory isn't worth a shit. But once people started violently reacting--I couldn't resist. I know it was wrong. Maybe I've been corrupted by my newfound power.
Don't get me wrong--I mean, there's been some good stuff on here. that's why I've kept it going. Some really insightful stuff. It was better than I'd hoped for. That stuff doesn't demean Mudcat--it demonstrates it to be a place that can still have a good discussion about the things the rest of the world is too wrapped up in reality TV to think about.
I was disappointed by the "Who gives a shit about this stupid crap" crowd. I give a shit about this stupid crap. If you don't want to discuss it--leave. Don't come in here and urinate all over everybody else and walk out. Fuck you.
Sorry about encouraging all my haters to participate with all the jabs, sarcasm and mean-spiritedness that they can't seem to stop displaying on any thread I start (except when it's a subject they know nothing about--like drums) but it was necessary to keep the thread alive for the occasional gem one can dig out in between all the nasty muck. It's all about knowing how to play your audience.
Oh, well. Keep em comin, folks. Let's not set the bar too high. Let's shoot for 350 and then we'll take it from there.
PS - Yes, I admit it. I made up the incident in the OP. There was no student talking about any instructor. I wanted to get a good discussion about music and theory going that wouldn't sink to the bottom of the heap in an hour's time. It was a shot in the dark but give me credit, it worked.
