Some of you know me and some of you don't. I'm basically just an old jazz bass player with some experience in that world.
I was recently involved in a thread here where I was asked a question or two by a member who I wasn't familiar with. I became extremely confused with the way the poster responded....I asked publicly for Ken's help and Ken responded as best he could by suggesting that I read one of the posters other threads. I did that and realized what this person was all about, in my experience of knowing other people similar to this in other talk sites. I'm not going to get defensive about it with the exception of explaining a couple of reasons why I insulted him intentionally, which I sure did. After Ken suggested that I check out this guys active thread, the guy came in telling me that he didn't "ask for (my) involvement in his thread. I'm not involved in that thread, nor was I ever and I told him in no uncertain terms that I didn't need to have him invite me into his thread or anyone Else's for that matter. What really insulted me was that he referred to me as "this guy", as if I was some "thing" that wasn't included in this community.
I did call this person a "jerk" and said a couple other unkind things because he was taking unkind shots at his host at this site, who I happen to like. (for what strange reasons, I can't explain
. )
Anselm happened to get kind of caught in the middle of this silly fray and I'd like to offer a public apology to him, so.....Anselm, I'm sorry if you misunderstood anything I said and I didn't mean to make it sound like I was accusing you of the dreaded Internet talk site "Buddy Up System" which is common on talk sites.
To my understanding, this site is not a Blog where one person is free to take over and spew weird **** about themselves from dusk to dawn and any one person who holds conversations with him or herself, page after page.....including quoting other posts that he wrote previously to talk to himself, says one thing to me........look at me. (IMO).
I would have posted this in the above mentioned thread but it was closed down, so this Thread Topic seemed to be the best bet.
