Sorry Cake

An educated buffoon then?

For an educated individual, your spelling and grammar are terrible......

The actual quote is "a litle learning".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I think Ben's been on the sauce again.

Love means never having to say you're sorry. If you love this forum than you wont abuse it.

He sure does..

Love Ben; that is.

Never say sorry even when you are wrong "Have you learned nothing from them politicians"

And don't let this schtuff happen again!!!!

This is not aimed at anyone in particular. But this place is full of great guys and gals. I like to think we are a somewhat tolerant group. I do believe that Ben has some personal problems that we can deal with. I am the most guilty of being harsh with Ben I don't like misinformation being spread. I think its a bad thing to let pass.  Now I think we are piling on. Ganging up on him and I don't believe he deserves that. You forum members have been extremely kind to me through the years. I consider you all to be a part of my family to a degree. I ask that we let it go now. Let Ben be. He has not done such awful things that we need to make him feel so unwelcome.

We know him. We know what to expect from him. Therefore we can deal with it in a kind and thoughtful manor.

Some of you may feel that I am going too far here. However, in good conscious I have to speak out. Let his apology end it. Let us be remembered as the kind of people we really are.

Do you think he can win over the uneducated masses and the blue collar yobs?

Only when appropriate!

What John said.

However, it would have been nice to see some of that in the original thread.

Regards,

well iv been on this forum for years myself and have seen alot worse threads.
and personaly i got close to baned for , standing up for the fact that they dont clearly tell you that expanded is just a toolbox and that if you choose to go that root . you will need at least a few more hundred$$$ bucks to get the full version.
i have expanded and dont see me getting anything past this since i feel its too much. and using sonar for 10 years still didnt get me great deal,yes im sad and yes im still trying to get up some funds.
 but even if i dont like the coments he posted ,and feel its way more than i did by just being off topic  yes,i was spanked by the admin.
I DONT THINK HIS COMMENTS EVEN IF I WAS SHOCKED AND OFFENDED IS NOT SOMETHING TO GET BAN FOR.
SONAR (cakewalk)IS A GREAT COMPANY AND IS TO ME THE ONLY SOLUTION TO MY WORKFLOW NEEDS.
 I HUMBALY ACCEPT HIS  POST AS A SIGN THAT, EVEN IF CRAZY AND ODD HE STILL HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.
since where all in the same boat,  and your is just bigger and faster. but im still in here treading water .
so il end by saying lets all be friends and make great music,i just make shure i take my meds before posting  now,
 kidding, im clean sober and ready to rock. love sick

I usually find Ben, uh, "entertaining".  But his initial comments in this thread could be construed as fairly insulting:
 

...please understand that some of your customers are uneducated buffoons, this does not excuse my behaviour but I will not be pushed around by these people. I am not saying I'm better than these people but as an educated individual it is my obligation to imapart my morality even if it is considered wrong on to the uneducated masses.

 
Obligation and morality?  Hehehe...  See, that's entertaining to me.   Then again, I don't really care what he might think about those that populate this forum. 
 
The only thing I could offer Ben at this point is my attempt at a Zen-like truism for the day: "Edumacation don't mean you're smart or know stuff".  
 
 
Just take a little time to catch your breath, chill, and enjoy the headroom afforded by 24bit digital audio...  and a good quality camera.
