Sorry Marty,
when I said the stock market is falling because the tariffs are going up and Trump better be careful what he is doing, you classified that as hate speech. WTF? I didn’t attack YOU! Look at your response! Now you say that your response was correct, not rude, just frank and I’m the one that shows up with unsolicited political Trump-bash posts. I can’t follow your logic. You suggest that we ban politics and religion here. Why? Can’t you handle the truth? Trump sets huge tariffs on China and the stock market goes down. That’s what happened that day. If you can’t handle that, just go to the songwriting sections of this site. This site allows us to speak freely. You don’t have to agree with what everybody says. But like you said Marty, name-calling should be banned and we should all be polite and cordial. Brian should not have to enforce any rules. We are old enough to know what we should and shouldn’t do. I have to say it again, in that specific post I did not bash Trump! Period. Your response was rude.

Rob,

There is a disconnect here. I'm not getting the drama.
The attack that you are referring to...is me saying that you have TDS. I believe that you do. I believe that you have the genuine clinical variety.
Am I allowed to speak freely...about that?
Or do I have to governor what I say in accordance with what you deem offensive.
This is becoming another example of why politics gets out of hand and the vast majority of people in the world realize how divisive it is. ..if you want to keep good relations and productivity in tact.

I compliment your songs every time that you put one up and I mean it.
And I don't dislike you, but this encounter is odd.
The Trump-gonna-eat-your-foot thing was just a joke and it surprisingly seemed to cause you great distress.

I tell you what though...
I asked Brian if he thought that his site would be better with me gone. I think... that he said no. No lines crossed.
Tony and Dom are trolls...so I am unconcerned with their opinions.
Odd as this back-and-forth is, I don't think that you are a Tony or Dom.

How about you be Brian's proxy and anyone else's that may feel the way that you do.

Do you think that I am a detriment to this site and prefer that I cease to post here altogether?
Answer yes or no without elaboration...and I will do whatever you decide.

Marty
