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.

Well, John is going to be disappointed then. I prefer it on top.

Hi there John,

I wonder if you remember this thread, where you were welcomed back to the forums.


And I am really curious why you want the CH to change. It may look(and is) silly at times, but we care about other forum members here, as Beagle and others have pointed out.

If you think it's sad, you are insulting and hurting a lot of people.

 
Well said Alex.
 
Maybe the fact that a few of us were genuinely pleased to see the miserable old bugger back in circulation was an alien experience for him
 
 
 

:)






I hope so ....................

The first thing I read this morning was the OP. It was rather disheartening.
For me, the Coffee House is like Cheers.
Where would that be without Norm, or Cliff, or Dr. Crane?
Many of us were here when Cakewalk first opened the door. You could still smell the paint.
We made it our place. We bonded with people we may never meet.
But some have met,and seeing pictures of those occasions were not of anonymous people on the internet, but friends.
Yes, we get silly, and often the humor is very dry and easily missed.
At the same time, This group has banded together and shown massive support.
I am one of those that Beagle mentioned. The contributions of the Coffee House members resulted in a life changing event for my wife and me.
Beneath the fluff is a fellowship that you just can't touch, and I am immensely proud to be associated with the denizens of the Coffee House.

Amen to that brother Bob.

Amen to that brother Bob.

Zactly, through this forum my brother Strummy has been able to witness my neglect and suffering first hand.

It has improved since then to be fair, albeit by very little.

John?

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...
