That is hard to square, if not bizarre coming from you.

My stated practice on this and other sites was to find something to like about someones song and specifically compliment that and/or just comment "nice song, enjoyed it."

For the exact purpose of acknowledging the effort, energy and passion...even if the song didn't really light me up.

And when I did that, you would rattle how it was somehow dismissive and condescending in some alternate mind-scape to merely say "nice song, enjoyed it."

And you would go on and on about how I and everyone else have a duty to comment and tell-it-like-it-is, so they the greatest output can be achieved on a songwriting site frequented by amateurs.

You and I and "songwriters" like us, are the blind leading the blind. We have no experience that bears out realistic wins and losses in the music business. We're just surmising and commenting according to whatever sensibilities that we possess.

The other day I commented on Kay-lynn's America song. And I stand by my comment. But the comment was based in the sensibilities of a random US citizen with a fascination for historical evolution. And a skeptical view of a singularity called "America."

Kay-Lynn quoted someone with years of musical publishing experience. They praised the song as something that could work and could respond to a need. In the sphere of viable commercial musical sensibilities, that is a real opinion.

By comparison, my opinion in that sphere is just the ramblings of rambling rambler.

And the best thing that happened to me was the opportunity to see a publisher's opinion go head-to-head with mine. (even though he is completely unaware of me)

So yes, I agree that acknowledgement is good glue in an atmosphere like this site, but your new proclamation above regarding acknowledgement is completely inconsistent with your past posts.

The inconsistency appears to be based in "denial."
