^^^YOu missed my point. The point is disagree with me all you want. Just donāt be an asshole about it. I never implied I was a more serious musician than Fishman. I meant that since I have a trained ear, I donāt like to hear bad notes.
^^ Exactly. Like Ant posts a shirtless picture in Members Pictures and of course weāre all going to make comparisons to how he looks like a 12 year old girl, but he doesnāt let it get to him. Itās called good old fashioned ribbing. No harm no foul.
Well then maybe it sounds like youāre implying that youāre a more serious musician than those of us that do like Fish songsā¦regardlessā¦watch how you make yourself sound. You could criticize the Fish songs without adding in comments like āIām a serious musicianā and all the sudden your comment comes across as a lot less condescending. Just think about it, is all Iām saying.
ā12 year old girl on crackā is what you meant
12-year-old girl? ah you assholes.
I QUIT.
Be nice.
Good plan!
In one online community I was part of years ago, we had no rules save one: āDonāt be an asshole.ā
Itās really that simple.
I think that one-rule system will work here too, so long as not searching before starting a new thread can be considered being an asshole. 
Assholes are part of the fun sometimes.
āI have a trained earā???
You seem a bit pretentious IMO
^ Thank you. I canāt believe I agree with you about something.
So I start a thread about being nice, and then I have someone I donāt know judging me.
Iām getting sick of defending myself but here goes again: Iām not bragging, trying to demean anyones opinion, or being pretentious. Here is the definition for ear training. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_training
I have scored 90 and above in every aural test so, yes, I am confident saying that I have a trained ear. Iāve dedicated my life to it. So call me pretentious but I wasnāt saying that my opinion was more valuable because of that. All I was saying is that people with trained ears cringe when they hear bad notes. I didnāt even mention that until I was chastised for having an unpopular opinion.
FUCK!!
^ Dude please nobody is out to get you. Take a step back and read the post heās referring to as if it was written by someone besides yourself. It does come across as a bit pretentious. Nobody likes to hear bad notes, and even someone with a basic understanding of musical coherence can identify a misplaced note. Now before you get upset at me, please realize that I am not attacking you either. I am just attempting to explain to you why your post came across as being pretentious. And by the way, if youāre sick of defending yourself, simply donāt post anything and everyone will forget this thread exists in a matter of hours.
Who said āget the shit out of your ears?ā
Thatās low, mister. If I had a rubber hose Iādā¦
Being kind is favorable. Proving a point is one thing, doing it in a friendly manner is even better (and more impressive, itās easy to be a dick)
I agree. There is no place for rudeness here. But dude you ought to relax. No one is mad at you or thinks yer a bad guy. Itās just annoying to have a missplaced thread. Plain and simple. And fishman tunes are a joke. A joke referring to Fishās horrible singing voice. Its a chance to relax and laugh it up a little bit.
Nice.
Heh. I value his absence!
And Marco- spot on!
