How is that flame proof underwear holding up John?

Let me state that you are not wrong. You are indeed quite right. Many threads are pointless, and I find it tedious to wean through them. A whole lot of what some find "funny", is not even remotely so.

But, is that not the point of a coffee house? Is it not better to have it here then to have this sort of thing happen in the more serious forums?

A few years ago, when the CH was shut down, that was indeed the problem. Some of us in the Song forum in particular begged, begged the Mods to restart the CH as the song forum was becoming the dumping ground for all the pointless nonsense.

But outside of the nonsense and horseplay, this is the forum with THE strongest sense of community and brotherhood I have ever participated in. As some pointed out, members here have done great things to help others in need. It is in a few words, a remarkable place in cyperspace.

Why not climb down off the soap box and actually try to relax, have some fun and participate. You will find many who enjoy serious discussions too, who are willing to engage you in whatever you want.

Try to think of it as a real coffee shop... you can participate in one or two conversations at a time, but try to participate in them all and you will go nuts (as witnessed by Bapu). Instead of scolding us across the fence, why not come around it, sit, relax, and have a coffee?

I am flame proof. LOL  I hear you and get your point.  Well taken actually. It seems to me that interesting threads get either moved off the first page or posted to with nonsense. Then when the fun is gone so is the thread.

Clearly its not the only thing that goes on here but It could be so much better.

Thanks for at least understanding what I was saying.

I once heard a definition; a perfectionist is not one who makes things better but is one who is constantly searching for the negative.

Well, I have always said: "Shoot the message, not the messenger" (I think Strummy can attest to that).

I can certainly attest to it and try to adhere to it myself.

In fact I was involved in a thread upstairs just today where the message wasn't even mentioned, nay it was outright avoided, among the vitriol that was being thrown about.

Baseless accusations from the OP here about 'tag-teaming' being merely a notable feature.

Daryl summed this one up in a single word.

Unfortunate. Maybe John should come down here for a while... a "time out" to gain some perspective.

I think the original post indicates that he might like to, but as there are many fine personalities that frequent the place he may just feel a bit intimidated by that and perhaps thinks he somehow just wouldn't belong.

So rather than attempt to join in it's easier to just to dismiss it as being 'beneath' him.

Cakewalk is obviously to blame for this situation.  Allowing people to post comments in an OFF-TOPIC discussion forum that do not relate specifically to the software is insane. 

Furthermore, it's been observed that there may, in fact, be other people on this very same planet!  Some of them, as impossible as it is to believe, have differing opinions from yours. 

I know.  It's unbelievable.

They go through their day, acting as though they have a right to think their own thoughts, with no understanding of the severity of their Thought Crime.  How dare they!

There may even be some (I know this sounds implausible) whose primary motivation in life is something other than pleasing you.  I'll wait if you want to grab a tissue.  We may need a moment to process this horrible news.

We can speculate all day about who's to blame, the Government, Cakewalk, a certain someone's parents, but it won't help us deal with the problem.  Perhaps Cakewalk could fix the problem by creating a forum just for you?  All the Bad people could be locked out.  You could post there and never have to read another post you didn't write yourself.

It's the least they could do...

It's a motivational speech I give to myself each morning...

I'm still waiting for Cakewalk to fix that.
