... do you know who this reminds me of, and somebody is going to have to refresh my memory on this one ... that dude / chick that was a frequent poster in the CH that had a movie actress as his / her avitar. The individual left awhile back under cloudy circumstances after folks started questioning if he / she was a gender bender.
Dave, that was " Jessie" - he posted under the moniker of Jessie Sammler, the film actress. And had done for ages, both here and in the Guitar Tracks forum. Although some of us were naive enough to believe it was really her for a bit, he never said anything to contradict that view - in fact his 'home page' on his membership profile linked to a teenage diary type thing of the actress herself. Even when it was certain he (obviously) wasn't who he claimed to be, he happily carried on the pretence of being a woman - hence the mention of sports bras and the like. It was pointed out to him that this kind of behaviour is maybe alright for a one-off joke, but to maintain the guise for years on end, and for a (middle-aged?) man to be hanging around websites oriented toward teenage girls is, to say the least, a bit creepy.

Common courtesy is providing a handful of posts yet being highly critical of the forums demeanour?
May I suggest climbing off your high horse and joining in and rather than generalizing on the whole, commenting on specifics. Unless of course it is your aim to lead us all into the greater civil utopia our current ignorance blinds us too.
I'm assuming you can see things other than the brilliance of your own reflection when I say welcome to the Coffee House.
You'd be on better footing explaining how the correlation of post-quantity to license-to-criticize works. Obviously, it doesn't. I've not posted here for the very reason that my current post defines.
You see, it is comments just like yours that I address -- no matter what the literary level -- which come from spiteful minds with little apparent value other than to vent personal angst or harm another. Where does the sarcasm and scorn come from, and why does it belong here?
For me to be on a "high horse" in your mind because I note, carefully and with qualification, that some are bitter is an inappropriate bit of slashing. Where does that come from in you, in particular? Why do you soil this place with such a dark tongue? How would your attitude improve this forum?
Say in retort what clever things you may, but just for this one instance, address the core question. Why do you attack the person who doesn't attack you?
I just don't agree with your original assertion. Post count doesn't relate to anything other than it would have been more courteous had you been a regular contributer here and still had criticisms of the forum at large. On the whole, perhaps because I joined in with an attitude of goodwill at the outset, I find the forum participants to be very positive, friendly, helpful, given that why would I agree with you, and how does that make me spiteful? I merely suggested climbing down from your high horse and join in from the level of a peer. It's entirely your choice how you actually choose to engage with any participants here or not. Any demeanour failing it would seem is much closer to your doorstep than the forum participants in general. So can you clarify the point where I attacked YOU rather than your, what I still percieve to be, fatuous comments. Had I outright called you a narcissitic ego-maniac then you'd have had a point.

So Brandon said you registered on the forum with a male's name in your email address: It puts your observations in a completely different light if you are in fact a man posing as a woman. Doesn't that speak of some dishonesty and unethical conduct when you are questioning people's manners and motives. You even question our psychological stability by some of your observations of various behaviours but if Brandon is indeed correct in what he said, you are guilty of a pretense that makes some of the forumites behavior pale into insignificance. Would you like to clear up your status and motives for posing as a woman if in fact you are not. I that's not the case why would Brandon say the things he said in his post.

Is it me or do her posts sound like those e-mails you get from Dr Kwembe Ripoffagwambe of Nigeria who has 14 million he would like to deposit in you're account.
I don't know but anyone who uses the word thusly is on shaky ground as far as i am concerned.
Note i realize she is from sweden, this is not meant as a anti foreigner intolerant comment, its mainly aimed at getting Jonbuoy/Steve to spit thier coffee all over the keyboard.

i dont think her/his words in text nor her/his thinking is from swedon.is it ussualy obvious the way people context there words you can get an idea where they are from?..i mean i say wicked all the time..thats a boston thing..by reading these posts it sounds like someone from the united states,born and raised.not a discrimination thing,just a fact..just like i wouldnt say "ah mate"..i like that saying..but i would say it because its not in my vocabulary.this reeks of something from other than what this "person" is claiming...i love this forum,and what i love the most is someone speaking there true feelings in here..its not only helpfull but educating.there is of course that fine line.and i think cakewalk does a masterfull job at keeping that line check.

no, I'm pretty sure Dr. Hash-head is not the same person as Thomas Gato. they had very different personalities. it's pretty difficult to post consistently different personalities unless you have multiple personality disorder. which is another subject entirely. As far as Carissa is concerned, I'm not sure of his/her gender, nor am I positive that he/she is not native Swedish, but his/her personality is not similar to Mr. Gato OR Dr. Hashish, nor is it really similar to anyone else who comes into the forum with guns blazing drawing attention to themselves like he/she has done.

I don't know guys....if you read her first post (I've read it 4 times just to make sure I "got it") I think it's quite credible, wouldn't you say? She mentions:
"Of course, I'm not talking about many, many of the kind, productive contributors here, and I'm sure they aren't offended. I'm talking to the armchair brave who snip and quip at others whom they would well not treat in such a manner if personally present."
That means none of you guys in the coffee house fit that bill. This is a much different world down here than it is up stairs. You can pretty much get away with saying just about anything to you guys here and you all take it and make jokes out of it. It's very relaxed, playful and in my years here, those of you in the CH here have helped thousands up stairs...so if you totally remove yourselves from her post, don't you think it has some merit no matter who she is or where she's from?
It doesn't matter to me whether she's a she, a male, living in Sweden or in the USA. I think the post was credible. Was it called for? In her mind it was, but that's not for me to decide. I must say though, I've seen everything she's mentioned. I also have to admit, the way she worded it made me sick because, well, it made me realize how much of the english language there is that I don't use as well as how grammatically incorrect I am. LOL! That's just my jealousy talking though. :) (That's not meant to be a dig, Carissa...I'm envious and admit to talking and typing like a cave man)
I think what it all comes down to is, if you are a new user just coming here, reading some of the comments we see from time to time can really put a person off or even intimidate them from posting or asking a question. A post that well-worded like hers also makes it a bit more acceptable to me. Am I missing something somewhere? I'm not taking sides or trying to be confronational, I just kinda felt she spoke the truth to those that fit that mold.

FWIW I do agree that there has been much bashing, name calling, threats and gnashing of teeth. I do not disagree with that. I also think that it's been worse in the last few months than it ever has been before, even tho there is always a good amount of negativity and complaining after a new release.
I happen to agree with JB, however, that she's come in with guns blazing drawing attention to herself over a crticizing post which was nothing more than more negativity and lacking in any type of resolution. Her post did nothing to resolve the negativity, but stirred it up more.
If she wanted to really contribute to resolving the atmosphere of this forum then she would become an active participant and passively help deter those who are negative instead of just making bold broad accusations without any plan for a resolution.

+ 1 to Beagles comment,
Lucidity and articulation non withstanding, what he/she posted was a parrot of the same observations posted up there many times, some rather crudely and some as eloquent as its.
Same warmed over bowl of soup without the resolution

Somewhere, parked at a remote truck stop along an interstate highway, Frank removes his stiletto heels. After rubbing his aching feet, he slips on his steel toed boots. With a sigh, he settles behind the wheel of his big rig. Glancing in the mirror, he chuckles quietly. "Well, that sure got 'em riled up!" he drawls.

Let's see... Colorful characters, scary looking but mostly harmless monsters, juvenile humor, an unhealthy fascination with certain foods, and endless repetition...
Oh, and Sesame Street's good, too.
