Be nice!

Assholes are part of the fun sometimes.

“I have a trained ear”???

You seem a bit pretentious IMO

^ Thank you. I can’t believe I agree with you about something.

So I start a thread about being nice, and then I have someone I don’t know judging me.
I’m getting sick of defending myself but here goes again: I’m 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. I’ve dedicated my life to it. So call me pretentious but I wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 he’s 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 you’re sick of defending yourself, simply don’t post anything and everyone will forget this thread exists in a matter of hours.

Who said “get the shit out of your ears?”

That’s low, mister. If I had a rubber hose I’d…

Being kind is favorable. Proving a point is one thing, doing it in a friendly manner is even better (and more impressive, it’s 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. It’s just annoying to have a missplaced thread. Plain and simple. And fishman tunes are a joke. A joke referring to Fish’s horrible singing voice. Its a chance to relax and laugh it up a little bit.
