Scott (Ordinary Guy) wow! I'm so sorry you felt like the butt of a joke. We were all having fun with the word, not laughing at you! I always loved the way the word was used around here. It was an opportunity to "mess with it". NOBODY in that thread was poking fun at you.

JD, it sounds like you go from "cold" to "hot" pretty quickly. Try not to read too much into what people say. This is a really friendly site, one of the best I've ever been part of, and a lot of folks here are above average in talent. They're just a lot more humble about it. You never know who's reading these boards. Every wonder who all the "anonymous users" are? I understand that your condition might interfere with the way that you interract with people, but here you should try to bear in mind that the motto is "We're all in this together" and we subscribe heavily to that motto. Your material is really good, and no one faults you for admitting that...but around here, the best writers lead by example and help those who are struggling. I've performed music for a long time, but I'm just now writing. If someone knocked me down, I'd probably never pick up a pen again. However, because of the encouragement I've received here, I might one day (MAYBE) be comparable to you or someone else on your level. Keep that in mind when you respond to the writing of others.

BTW, I know Glyda very well, she is one of the best people I've ever met in my life and has a heart of gold. There is no way she'd start anything. She was pointing out the attitude, which was an alarming one. I'm glad to see the waters are calmer now.
