    CE sweetness and light

    I'm sure we all appreciate your enthusiasm and your desire to defend much of the current musical establishment - after all, it's sensible to keep in with, and to avoid offending, those who can have an effect on your earnings.

    However, "regularly" is incorrect, "vilified" is an wild exaggeration and "for no good reason" is subjective.

    There have indeed been criticisms of certain aspects of BBCS over the years - criticisms that many musicians would agree with. If you don't, it's your right to say so. But if you are going to retain credibility with others, it's wise not to write things that are so palpably mistaken.

    Are you this unpleasant in real life, or just on message boards?

      I don't think this conversation needs to proceed. It will be moved downstairs if it does.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        Fine.

        So,

        "Why did you wonder? Because your silly comments were directed at me?"

        from Mr Jackson to Ardcarp is fine, but my pointing out a wildly exaggerated and inaccurate post of his is not?

        And no, Mr Jackson, I'm not "unpleasant" at all. I'm kind and understanding, especially to people who are vulnerable and in need of help. But I'm also direct and straight to the point. And very much aware of life in the real world and why people do the things they do. And that upsets people sometimes. In real life as well as on messageboards.

        [Edit: My comment was directed at the post immediately above mine, not at yours.]
