I reinstate a profile I haven't had for over 10 years, post asking a simple question....and instead of help, I get slapped around by a petty tyrant who couldn't be bothered to *suggest* I do something that would make my post and participation more useful for the community.

Instead my post gets locked, I get publicly berated like I'm some noob who deserves to be shat on publicly, and of course I get no answer.

Let me just say, there are people who really do know a LOT about what they do, and have the credits and experience to back it up....that's my real name, go look at what I do. It's not meant to brag, it's meant to say that small-minded reactions to nebulous and over-enforced rules will only harm a community, not bring in people who have a lot to add.

These are some of my work in record production/songwriting/performance/mixing/and recording.....yes it's not the VERY best, but it's very good, and I have a wealth of experience and knowledge to offer, and I'm happy to. http://still.bandcamp.com
Again, only to exemplify, not to brag or self-aggrandize....

Yeh, maybe I'm too full of myself, maybe I think too much of my work, and maybe I broke some goofy rule.....but how much harder is it too paste in a quick reminder to check out the rules section (didn't know there even WAS one) than to be shitty to someone looking for a little knowledge where he's lacking? I didn't do ANYTHING other than ask a question, innocent of any idea there was going to be a problem.

Obviously this post will be taken down very rapidly, and my membership vacated, but to be honest, I haven't missed this place in the intervening 10 years, just had a simple question and remembered it, thought I'd check in.

My mistake.

Dear Still_, You got the exact same response as everyone who posts without their real name. It included a reminder to check the rules.

PS: This topic should be in the Basement subforum.

Just ask the mods to unlock your other thread, now that you've changed your name, and I'm sure folks will be glad to respond.

Go to your post about mixers, click on "report to moderator" and tell them you fixed your name issue.  It will get unlocked.

I suspect you've been posting in another PSW forum (recording, house of worship) where real name use is not required...  That's there, this is here.

As for condescension, feel it if you wish but there are no fewer than 3 places that said you must use your real name to post in the live audio forums, including one right at the top of the main index page and at the top of each forum's index page.

Have fun, good luck.

I would say I feel it from the response, not manufactured all on my own. I was VERY surprised to have that happen, including having someone's response deleted, there's no call for that kind of treatment other than petty tyrant syndrome.

It disrespects me, the person that answered my post, and the place itself by lowering the level of interaction to that petty place.

Other views may differ, but in the meantime I've put it on Facebook where the friend's circle I have will have many good thoughtful answers, without the ego and small-minded need to push one's self upwards by pushing someone else down....shoulda done that in the first place.

Again, my mistake, I own that.

But this has been settled, I'm surprised this thread hasn't been shut down yet....or the "Rules Committee" hasn't piled on....

[Andrew Henderson]

Hey, I hope you stick around and make it "over the hump". There's a great community and a lot of knowledge here, and a lot of respect.

Sorry, Wade, but there are no special snowflakes here and the Moderator reply to your post was simple and direct.  There was nothing condescending in it but if you're sufficiently butt-hurt, simply let it go and don't come back.

I suggest you stick around, though, as there is a vast wealth of *correct* information and experience here and it's pretty freely shared.

BTW, Midas didn't buy Behringer, it was the other way around.

We make special accomodations for folks with your experience.  Step right over here and bring the horse you rode in on.

IT'S MANGO-MANGO TIME!!!

Guy can't be all bad, he brought both Dave and Dick Rees out of the woodwork. Of course at some time in the past he edited out the content from all his posts. Go figure.
