Ok, so I read your posts this morning
@Mac The Ripper š“, but had to deal with some difficult family stuff today so held back with my response, giving me the day to think about them, and get my head around your verbal attack.
Firstly, wow, you REALLY don't like me do you? I would suggest that you use the 'Ignore' function on my user profile. That way you won't be able to see my posts or see me talking to "everyone" on the forum like "filth". That would make the most sense, as you say you have "no time for people" like me:

Secondly, I think you have totally over reacted. Your ranting states that I speak to "everyone" like shit. Do I? Maybe read through all my posts where I have interacted with all the regulars over the years; thanking people for taking the time to share stuff, praising people for their efforts, having banter, helping with IDs etc etc. Is that someone that talks to "everyone" like they're "filth"? A few times a year I might be critical to people of people that just rock up asking for stuff, without having contributed or posted previously, and I'll address that shortly. I'd love to hear what all the regulars who I've built really good relationships with on here over the past 15 years think. Most of my interaction with them is done through the private messages. I could probably count about 20 people on here that I consider to have excellent relationships with, most that go back over a decade. I imagine if I "talked down" to them and spoke to them "like they are filth", they'd have stopped interacting with me a long time ago surely?
"Ignore him he does it to everyone!!" Who's "everyone"? You mean the occasional people that sign up just to do what I talked about above? That's sure as fuck isn't "everyone", is it?
Thirdly, your posts make it look like you have a chip on your shoulder. But I might me wrong of course, as I don't actually know you, and you don't know me. The way people come across on forums and social media doesn't always give a picture of what a person is really like in the flesh - plus depending on people moods and frame of mind, they can interpret posts in different ways at different times. For example when I read your posts about me this morning I was in a very low mood and hadn't slept well as I'm currently going through a fair bit - my first thought was to kick off. But I didn't. The bottom line is you don't know me, or anything about me so please don't make me out to be a c**t.
Fourthly, my intentions have always been for the best of the forum. I am passionate about protecting it, keeping the vibe alive and things moving, especially after seeing two other forums that I was heavily involved with, die and close down, due to social media, Facebook, Youtube, MixCloud, SoundCloud etc etc becoming more prominent. So, if I come across as being defensive, protective and out spoken about my views relating to the forum, then that's why. If we all came on here to just take, take, take then there would be NO forum.
"Music is for sharing" - no shit! I've been sharing music online for two decades, and continue to do so. I just think it's important that anyone taking music from forums needs to give back to community in some way; either by participating and getting involved in the chat, helping with IDs, making posts or even sharing mixes etc.
I've had run ins with a couple of folk before on forums over the years, and I'm sure as hell not prepared to go through that shit again, so I'd suggest you click that 'Ignore' button, and I can do the same for you.
I expect you'll say that you don't like the way or tone I've responded in this post now - probably that I'm "talking down" to you. How the fuck did you expect me to react after all of your posts above?
This is a long reply - but I'm afraid I'm not one to sit back and not defend myself or how I feel after being publicly hung out to dry on a forum that's like a second home to me.
As I say, just click that 'Ignore' button fella and you won't have to put up with me.
That is because I could approach YOU without getting any backlash, you made me feel welcome from day DOT! And yes, I did get a few from Henry then I just stopped asking him,it wasn't worth the hassle!
If they are selling them they need kneecapping,at most! But not everyone is like that! I bought a TDV cd off Ebay the other month,the fka dropped through the letterbox i was buzzing,opened it and it was a blank disc with TDV wrote in the middle! I was fuming! But as I say some people are like that, others aren't and I'm not!!!
reach for the lasers, safe as fuck
