you can listen to the views of your sychophantic friends and nodding dogs.

a bit like the Caesar complex, hearing what you want to hear all the time, and never the contrary.
no you should keep posting.

this thread sums up everything that was and apparently still is wrong with this forum.

a) everyone needs to have some tact when criticquing. say something nice or encouraging. the point is to help people get better. this does not happen when people gratuitously belittle other people's work. maybe aratron was too harsh.

b) HOWEVER. what is with the thin skins on here?! why do people have to get so freaked out by some criticism or someone's opinion? like aratron says, do people just want everyone to shake your hand and say something is great if they don't think it is or if it can be improved?

in this case, i don't see how aratron "dissed" your record, SoS. he did put down steve's label, but steve defended himself quite ably and aratron said that he'd give another listen and see if he was wrong. can't get better than that as a resolution to a debate, IMO.

if he had said he thought your record was crap, which he did not, then by all means, tell him why he's wrong. or someone else will. you're a good man, no doubt, and one of the people on this board i have high respect for, but i'm a bit baffled by what you wrote on here...
