Logic ?

Maybe not critising as such but you felt strongly enough to mention it and normally I would have left it at that because we both agreed that many musicians are in dire straits and you say some have resorted to desperate measures and I don't believe for one minute that they feel very proud in doing so.
But unfortuntely your gormless little oppo just had to stick his tuppence worth in with his usual ignorance with. .. " Could it be musicians are talented but a bit dense " . Not forgetting to add a little grovelling postscript.

So of course any talented but a bit dense musician would take exception to that .. and I did. Otherwise this thread would have been much shorter and much friendlier.

...your only talent is for creating division, JamesB...and forum history shows you are very good at it!
...but you cannot hide your light under a bushel...too many know.....
What beats me is what you get out of your nastiness.....

Francisco . I welcome most feedback on my posts - but get irritated when my words are twisted .

JamesB - you say I "felt strongly" about this topic...
What brings you to that conclusion ???
The is a forum where people post various posts about differing topics . Isn't that what forums are all about .
Going back to my first post on this thread .. I was just bewildered with some posting on a closed group, asking for money, from people who don't have it to give .
That doesn't mean I "feel strongly" about it - i was just surprised st this course of action.

....you are trying to reason with jamesB, GK..........good luck with that!!!!

My last word on it now , Francisco.
I can only repeat myself, so many times .
Maybe this thread should be locked now .
I've no more to add .

You felt strongly enough about it to put it on a public forum which leaves it open to debate, which is usual on a forum.

Personally if I saw that on a group, closed or otherwise, I would keep my opinions to myself, taking into consideration and having respect for, the extreme difficuties I know that some local artistes are having, dense or otherwise.

But hey .. thats just me.

your original post was valid GK...and right...

[Graham Knight]

That's what I thought, Francisco .
In no way , was I having a go at the people concerned . Just surprised at their course of action .
