Tsk, tsk. tsk, O-10; try and take a closer look at where you’re starting to take the dialogue. It should be pointed out that you didn’t have to go there at all, but you chose to continue to stir the pot. You could not be more mistaken in your analysis; but, as before, no problem as far as I’m concerned. As I have said many times, I would like nothing more than civil dialogue; but, as usual. there seems to be a total difference of perspectives at these times beginning with the notion that I may want to "change" you or anyone. You flatter yourself, and I would suggest that for a clue about the root cause of this never-ending antagonism one need look no further than at the simple fact that you have now pointed out, complained, objected to, whatever you want to call it, THREE TIMES to the fact that no one responded to your Ammons clips.
I would like to suggest that we institute a "gentleman’s rule" for the thread. This, on the assumption that after almost four years these silly little "dramas" will continue. I would like to suggest that whenever there is contentious dialogue which, as we know, has a tendency to spiral out of control with more and more personal comments and innuendo, that as soon as a poster (in this most recent case. Alex 12/3) posts music or makes a comment entirely about music (the supposed subject of this thread) with NO reference to the "drama", that the drama and its particulars be COMPLETELY dropped by all concerned and we move on to the subject of music: an automatic diffuser of the tension. A little poetic as well as pragmatic, no? Works for me.
