Good evening, all...
As one of the most recent posters on threads from Ginger, I feel some guilt about having perhaps unwittingly caused offence. I would like to apologise immediately and publicly if this is the case, and state here my respect for Ginger, both as a person and as a (for my part...) valued contributor to this forum. I'm not sure where the misunderstanding lies (if indeed I am responsible...), but have never intentionally written anything offensive or disparaging here. If there has been some ambiguity or mis-reading of my posts (not always the most tasteful, perhaps...), then I humbly withdraw whatever has had this effect, again with apologies.
I have PM'ed Ginger with these sentiments, and have sincerely asked him to reconsider his decision, most especially if I have been the perceived cause.
Thanks for reading this.

Hate to see you leave, but agree this site gets some real attitudes and spammers. This is the one site were I have have to use the Ignore List to block some peoples posts. I stayed away for awhile then came back and it helped.

Hope to see you back again.

I should explain something here to. I posted on ginger's thread along with dad3353. I maybe part to blame to. My post was just a continuation of gingers thoughts on that thread he posted. I just added some more lyrics to it, but maybe I shouldn't have. It was all in good taste, and since ginger is my friend I saw a play of innocense there. Ginger if you read this, I 'm sorry if you took it the wrong way.
DO COME BACK

It's so easy to misunderstand and to be misunderstood on a forum like this. You kind of have to take it in stride. If nothing else, it forces people to be careful to only say things they can back up. But even if you toe the line perfectly there will always be some jerk out there, or just someone who misunderstood.

It's sad to see people go, I hope you'll reconsider.

Peace,
Kevin

As you know, I have been on the fence as well here. I am a new member though, less invested I suppose. I stared using the Ignore function, something I've never needed on other special interest forums. I'm not sure why people gotta be dicks when they can just go punch a wall and make more of a dent instead.

Once JR hit me with an over-the-top a-hole post and a few others got on the bandwagon, I realized that I'd have to toughen up or leave. I'm still here. Perhaps reconsider, you may find a few members who you really relate to and can trust to get your back. They are here too.

Best wishes. Hope you choose what's right for you. Keep playing and stay positive musically if nothing else.

Hey, moderators and admin, assuming you read these posts...

Is it possible to make a locked "sticky" thread on top of each forum area with clear posting guidelines that strongly suggest that members maintain a respectful friendly attitude? Constructive criticism and friendly debate is great, but when it gets ugly and vindictive, it has no place here, IMHO.

A constant visual reminder bulletin is good. A lot of forums have them easily accessible. I can't find any such things here now.

Well, the poem may not have been childish, but the reaction to the subtle "ribbing"...........
