I take it back, I do want you kicked out.
Your constant personal attacks, lack of respect for others and overall rudeness is the reason. I've made every attempt at responding to your posts with as much respect as I can considering the tone, attitude and harshness of what you post.
If I'm equally harsh in what I post, it's only due to provocation.
Let me ask you, since you've joined this board, what have you contributed? How have your posts been helpful to others? What can you possibly accomplish by insulting others besides a shallow sense of self-gratification? How's that working for you? If you are here just to make shallow, cowardice comments with no real value to any topic, then for the common good of this board, piss off.
It's people like you that make the internet a horrible place to communicate ideas, share thoughts, express themselves intelligently.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Let me clarify for you. Portions of the internet meant to have interaction such as forums are not "public" places where freedom of speech is protected. Anyone can choose to open a forum. I did, and am fortunate enough to have people want to discuss our common interests in my forum. However, since it is mine I am free to create and enforce restrictions as I see fit. I have chosen only one real restriction, and that's not to insult people.Quote:

I find it interesting that you're disappointed you can't insult people. You can, just not here.
Allow me to respectfully remind you that it is possible to present yourself in a certain fashion on the internet. Since it's only words, what you say and how you say it pretty much forms people's opinion of you. If you're not concerned with what others think then you can pretty much act a fool and not care. However since you're trying to convince people that God exists I can only assume you DO care what people think. If that's the case you might want to re-read some of your posts and finish this statement:

Hey guys,
Why is everybody so serious? Relax. Can't you tell when somebody's playing with you?
Guess who???

Well, I think this board is a place
to be because there are great people
here. These people are people that
have a lot to teach us.
There's great advice. There's intim-
ate conversation. There's great info
on gear. There's great music and dif-
ferent ideas on how to approach it.
There's funny threads and good jokes.
There's cool videos and blasts from
the past and shared journey's; not
to mention some incredible stars in
the field (Gary, Pete, Alex, Pedro,
Michael and there's more of you)!
Where else can you find all this?!
Just to have one of those guys, it
would be worth it and check out the
host's chops! This is a cool place
and worth keeping cool, not through
censorship but through consideration
and appreciation!
Thanks, everyone! I learn something
from you guys, almost every day!

I totally agree, I just get tired of all the 'flaming' that goes on from some people.

DS,
BELIEVE ME, I resonate. I figure
the best way to stop it is not to
do it. Every bit of positive energy
contributes. EVERY BIT.
Thanks for being a part of that.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Steve, i REALLY appreciate you. For your lessons, for the boots that you shared all this time, for hosting this forum, for your opinion on different topics as an experienced drummer... but, i read you a couple of times sayng that this forum is YOURS. Don?t get me wrong, i love this place and i BELIEVE that is really important to have moderators, and i agree a 100% that not insult people is a must for a forum like this one.Quote:

But this forum has no owner, just like the internet. All the great things about the net has nothing to do with AOL or ATT or Microsoft... My point of view is that the forum belongs to each member that makes worthy to come back every day and keep posting, etc. etc.
Anyway, i think that i like better the idea that this forum has no owner... that is just the effort of a bunch of drummers that like to hang... (and we have a couple of star moderators, btw) [img]wink.gif[/img]
