Location: Fort Worth, TX | I will leave with one comment to DaveKell and others that feel the way he does. It's very simple really.
When you signed up, you agreed to only post about Ovation Guitars and why/how you play them etc... There is certainly plenty of leniency on that as evidenced by just reading through the past 10 years of fun. It's as fair as it can be without a hired staff to monitor 24/7. But the bottom line is it's what you agreed to. It's that simple. You don't have to like it or understand it. Hell, it may be the dumbest idea on the net... but you shook hands, and agreed to it. You proclaimed to 9000 other members and in front of at least 60,000 others, to at least attempt to abide by the rules. To blatantly violate that agreement is disrespectful. To push the limits, that's in good fun, it's what created this place, it's what has kept it going. While many a post derails, and that's fine, the intent is that they start off as talking about guitars. Frankly Dave, I don't know why you are complaining. I defended your post as at least having the creativity to mention playing music. It was still going to be closed, but at least it was creative. A lot of people told me that's lame. Yep, but at least you tried. And based on your post, your recent post above you got the message. Dark Bar was way off. That's fine, it was one post and the thread got closed anyway. So what. It got closed, not deleted, no one banned, no one hurt. It was of no interest to what we all AGREED that this board was about.
Above is from final post on Slipkid checks out... I must admit I must have glossed over the stipulations about what I was agreeing to post. Obviously, this is all my fault and I take responsibility for it. I'm gonna continue to hang around here and quit being so thin skinned. I realize I am making the same mistakes I've seen countless others make at another forum I've been on for 8 years that either gets them banned quickly or leaving of their own accord. I think I might have misjudged dark bar as well - his post about "Never Can Say Goodbye" made me spit up my coffee laughing. It was a classic. I will apologize to him yet again... hell, I'm formulating a goal to form a friendship with him. I'm in the process of reading the archives to get a better perspective on this place. As for naming names of the two people emailing me about their experience here - ain't gunna happen. I respect privacy. If you ever end up at my house I'll be glad to show them to you. In the interest of full disclosure and transparency, I'll let you all in on something I'm battling right now. I've had 18 brutal major surgeries. The last one left me hospitalized for 6 months with complications. In the months since being released, I've been on industrial strength dosages of two name brand narcotics which are interfering with my personality and clouding my judgement. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. I don't care who knows (by posting it on a forum) since they are prescribed by a doctor. I'll bide my time until I feel I have something positive to contribute. Any forum comprised of people with enough sense to appreciate Ovations is my kind of people. You ain't rid of me yet. | |

Fair enough. I've been thoroughly trashed and insulted on this forum and learned to just roll with it (but I learned to give as good as I get)

I seriously doubt that I have managed to drive ANYone off this forum. Christ, I can't even drive YOU off this forum. If anyone TRULY feels like I single handedly drove them off the OFC I would love to hear it. I may have piled on with a few snide remarks, but I don't really think anyone takes me all that seriously

I've made multiple stupid posts over the years in a hydrocodone induced fog. I believe it clearly explains most of my annoying posts

Only one of the two complained about you specifically to a large extent. Try a 40mg hydrocodone, 160mg Oxycontin and 1mg klonopin fog every day for awhile. And that barely touches the pain I have from a gut full of adhesions sticking my intestines to abdominal wall and pulling all day. The doc offered a dosage increase which I declined and am, in fact, slowly tapering myself off what I'm on now. I don't like the impaired cognitive reasoning functions despite the fact that I am a bonafide chronic pain patient and always will be. It IS fun sometimes tho! | |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I seriously don't know why this needs to be in public, why you insist 60,000+ people need to read this. But there it is I guess, I don't want to know. Please stop. Thank you. | |
