I am totally with you Steve. And thank YOU for nipping all that stuff in the bud. I can get into those arguments (and I loves me a good ~~argument~~ discussion when people can keep their cool and not attack someone personally because you just can't grasp theirwisdom.) elsewhere.

I like that this is a positive place where I can get away from all that shit. I ditched the book of faces years ago because I saw a potentially great tool torn down by assholes.

Too many people don’t know how to debate, I love it. Challenging your ideas is the best way to understand what you should or shouldn’t believe. If someone goes ad hominem (at the person) and calls me a poopoo head, that just means they can’t defend their position, it’s a sign of surrender. That said, social media is not a great medium for it.

”Kids these days” value feeling safe above free speech. That is not a judgement, just an observation. Therefore those who want to continually prove to the group they uphold that value are perpetually calling out things that make them or others feel unsafe. I think a parallel would be the person from our generation who wouldn’t shut up about free speech or continuously said extreme things to demonstrate free speech. Both are annoying and more a sign of a weak self esteem than demonstrating anything about either value.

So does that mean that your the most wordy wordy McWordysmith? I need to know before I read all of your post.

I wanted to drop in here and say Thank You and to tell you how much I appreciate all of you. I'm thankful for you all and for having this place which serves as a refuge from the media and on Facebook. Today in our LFF Facebook group I was told to fuck off, called a murderer and was told that I would have blood on my hands if I attended LOCKN this year. That asshat got booted but only because he told me to fuck off after I warned him. We accept civil conversation but when you personally attack someone (he did it to someone else first) that shit don't fly. I never have to deal with any of that stuff here and for that,. THANK YOU!!. I know that lots of people are tense and scared and confused and lots of other things but we still have each other. Don't be afraid to reach out to a friend or to lean on that friend if you need something. We all do from time to time.

Love you all and hope that we can get together **in the not too distant future**

I often wonder on FB how you do it, or why you do it. You're always nice and mild even when playing Devil's advocate. Thank you for being a good egg and standing up for us little guys.

I sometimes wonder that myself, especially after yesterday. I really don't have to subject myself to that ridicule but on the other hand I feel like I'm serving a purpose and I think it's something that I'm good at. That's one big difference between being an admin here and one on a Facebook group. On FB you sometimes have to deal with some disrespectful people who can hide behind their keyboard. Here it is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). You guys police yourselves for the most part. I don't need to do anything but show up and hang out. Much Love!!

Did I mention I'm Greek?

I can't believe I'd missed this thread until today - I still consider myself a bit of a new guy around here compared to the lot, but am also so very thankful for the group I stumbled onto, and while 2020 is a decade unto itself, having common hope around here we'd still get to the farm, finding a way to use this place to not just talk about, but actually play music with others, has been one of the things getting me mentally through the pandemic.

That all being said, looking at the calendar I cannot help but step outside into 64 degrees and sunny, and curse that I am not there right freaking now.

We are the Music Makers... and We are the Dreamers of the Dreams.

Yes i was travelling round that part of the state this week and it was awesome; some rain left Tuesday and shine shine shine since. Makes me look forward to next year's weather same time, same place. Although we know that the date is just as likely to change as the weather!
