I've run out of time to read this, this morning.
But I gotta say, the title alone was good for a chuckle.

But, let Kuya go. Forget the guy.
Bringing his lone persona to this website as a feature of a song is just more toxin on the site, and a drain of energy...

And distraction from very good songs that might otherwise occur such as the "Last Goodbye."

Its very ironic, cause he used this site and people on it, to harass me when i signed uo

Then he steals my work without permission.

And yiu talking? You keep bumping riobs bad songs in conversation, burying other songs.

Don't let me see you do tha again

Dom,

I criticize Robs songs per my sensibilities and their one-sided progandistic bent.. I did that on Muse and Kuya and a small gang of foreign Nationals who hate Trump came at me viciously, and then Banned Me.

But I don't GAF what they think and have lived several decades without any concern for their existence. I can continue on with no concern for them.

You criticize Rob's posts as vanity, yet you take a personal grievance with one person on another website and bring it here. That is a vanity project. And it is toxicity here.

No better and maybe more toxic than Robs political whinings.

Well then you understand where im coming from. There are people who truly deserve to be banned. Others its a personal view call.

One thing I can't stand, is people running a site, and then thinking you no longer exist, to anyone else on the forum, and they've silenced you

This guy was coached to harass me, u can guess who dud it, but for him to take my song and redo it, withiut permission, that's a different ball game all together.

I agree, forums try to dictate who is right, and who is worthy.

If you ever noticed, all the mods there know everything there is to be known, a non mod must concede to them.

As we can see , I was there two weeks and was already better than that clam

You know.. that really did stick out there.

Particularly with the old guy who's Avatar displayed his Keith Richards look alike bracelet array. He played pretty well and didn't sing as well but you could tell that he thought he was "all that" when he commented on your song.

There was also the guy who I think played piano and accompanied his wife the vocalist. To my ear they're offerings sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard but you could tell from his comments that he also thought he was the final word on songwriting and performance.

And they all seem to be completely locked down on the idea that the only true music and musician is the one who plays and sings himself. This AI stuff is blasphemy.

Now, I am starting to rag on them. Chuckling as I do, but ragging nevertheless. Put them in the review and let them Fade out.

Yeah imagine here having the power to end the conversation, after you've determined the right answer.

Some people were never meant to have power...

It was annoying, they all agreed with each other, and you were not important if not a mod or friends with one.

Yeah the Ai thing, if you go into the REAL songs section, you'd wonder which of the three chords used did they write....

Naw you attacked his song in that AI section . They have a political rant section . Both you guys bring your feud where ever you guys go . Which to me is amusing to me . Either one of you , or anyone else has any control over that corrupt political arena . Red Or Blue . There all clowns and could care less on the people.

The rednecks will always sing there stupid cowboy songs for the red . The snow flakes will sing there stupid save the whale songs . Both with Pheasant Under glass dinner parties . You know I've never seen Pheasant at Safeway .

Wrong word.

I criticized and critiqued Rob's song, particularly for the fact that it is a clear political message consistent with political messages that he has been putting up here for years.

I was complimentary of another song he put up here in the last few days, which had no political connotations or quotes from the Secretary Of State. I even defended the song against other criticisms.

He should put his "politics" in the "politics" section, but he posts it in MP3 and AI,
insists that they are not "political,"
and therefore exempt from criticism.

which all flies in the face of reality.

Art 1 guarantees me the right to criticize politics and rebut political statements.
Brian Whitney elects to apply "free speech" to his website. He has made that clear.

This website is a free, public and voluntary forum.
Rob chooses to be here and post in in accordance with his personal sensibilities and biases.

I choose to be here and can post in accordance with mine, if and until, I am told that I violate the rules here.

Rob can choose to ignore me, to rebut me, or not to participate.

Calling my criticisms attacks is merely your preference, not mine.
I call them "rebuttals."

If you and Rob feel that these are "attacks," then appeal that to Brian Whitney, if you have not already.

If he says that I am in violation of his rules, I'll stop.
If I don't stop, he can terminate my participation.

Personally, I think that outright political statements or ones that even allude to political biases are toxin to a songwriting website.

But...when in Rome.

But he's posting those songs for the very attention ge got.

He knows damn well not everybod is going to like it.

And then plays dumb and says its not about Trump or America.

If you wrote a song about hating Jews, what kind if response would you expect?

People are ultra hyped about politics

Dom,

For you and me, the obviousness of that is unmistakable.

I suspect it is for Ben also.

For Rob, for some reason, what seems obvious to us is a mistaken impression.

Question: What explains that?

Maybe Rob can answer.

Cause in his mind, traffic in his thread, means his writing caused a reaction, which one might consider effective writing.

He just likes that it all comes under the title of HIS song.

Willing to leave him alone now, but the arrogance and pulling of rank annoyed me.

If I could delete this thread I would, just wanted him to know where I stand...which worked like a charm, there was no question he was directed here

Wrong word.

I criticized and critiqued Rob's song, particularly for the fact that it is a clear political message consistent with political messages that he has been putting up here for years.

I was complimentary of another song he put up here in the last few days, which had no political connotations or quotes from the Secretary Of State. I even defended the song against other criticisms.

He should put his "politics" in the "politics" section, but he posts it in MP3 and AI,
insists that they are not "political,"
and therefore exempt from criticism.

which all flies in the face of reality.

Art 1 guarantees me the right to criticize politics and rebut political statements.
Brian Whitney elects to apply "free speech" to his website. He has made that clear.

This website is a free, public and voluntary forum.
Rob chooses to be here and post in in accordance with his personal sensibilities and biases.

I choose to be here and can post in accordance with mine, if and until, I am told that I violate the rules here.

Rob can choose to ignore me, to rebut me, or not to participate.

Calling my criticisms attacks is merely your preference, not mine.
I call them "rebuttals."

If you and Rob feel that these are "attacks," then appeal that to Brian Whitney, if you have not already.

If he says that I am in violation of his rules, I'll stop.
If I don't stop, he can terminate my participation.

Personally, I think that outright political statements or ones that even allude to political biases are toxin to a songwriting website.

But...when in Rome.



Anybody writing political songs , Should be shot at sunrise. Stick to she loves me or don't love me songs. We don't wanna hear your political views . You're a singer . Shut up. Go Talk To Dolly Parton. Man I ain't talking about that shite

Marty, Dom said it right about hyper sensitivity.

Just left a playful response elsewhere about TDS which I think is funny, but we apparently don't always share the same sense of humour (or spelling of the word come to think of it)


If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

If you are going to start tracking points with regards to hypersensitivity, then also start looking at both sides of the scoreboard and your own history in the game.

And let's be real for a moment here, and step back for a better look.

It is not possible to hijack a thread titled;

"I'm Gonna Suya, Kuya."

The thread itself is a hijacking of the entire section.
You can't hijack the entire section, if not the entire site... and still call "FOUL!"

After due consideration...your objection is overruled. smile

You criticize Rob's posts as vanity, yet you take a personal grievance with one person on another website and bring it here. That is a vanity project. And it is toxicity here.

No better and maybe more toxic than Robs political whinings.


Naw you attacked his song in that AI section . They have a political rant section . Both you guys bring your feud where ever you guys go . Which to me is amusing to me . Either one of you , or anyone else has any control over that corrupt political arena . Red Or Blue . There all clowns and could care less on the people.

The rednecks will always sing there stupid cowboy songs for the red . The snow flakes will sing there stupid save the whale songs . Both with Pheasant Under glass dinner parties . You know I've never seen Pheasant at Safeway .

I have to agree, personal attacks is a bannable offense.
