Thanks for confirming that I read well here.....you mentioned my name when I clearly addressed you with your nick. You suggested work references when the post needed none. Yes, you got personal with me....and really, its always better to own up to what you did then try to attempt a pathetic save like this....you really just undermined yourself.
And yes, you sounded worried...and even more so now.
"I did share some ideas in my previous post. Revert to that. With hundreds of posts already posted there is ample references for newcomers. With the wealth of information out on the internet, and posts in other forums as well as here, you would have to be brain dead to miss them, or computer illiterate—which I don't think anyone here is either. Is not my suggestions enough to do a search on the topic that I have to play it out blow by blow? I want to believe in the intelligence of people here."
--Is this forum about testing anyone's intelligence? Do you feel an urge to prove your intelligence? If so, you have just proven otherwise. If you have some intelligence then you should not assume all members here are of a certain maturity level. Some are very young, some could be new to computers, some could be really old and new to computers and to some, this could be their first experience in a forum platform.....no these people are not brain dead, just happened to have difference experiences and growth in life.
"You see how this works? Yes, go out and find the information on your own. Sometimes one sentence is enough to inspire someone to think on their own."
--Now, you just REALLY don't get it....but since this forum is not about a test of intelligence, I will break it down for you. This "one" sentence of yours referenced a book and 2 artists. That served as information whereas your other suggestions did not.
"Why not??? Because I am not teaching beginners here. That's why not. I want to believe people are intelligent and creative on their own to explore on their own. Is that wrong?"
--Again, do you think that ONLY Chewy will read this thread? Does starting a thread mean exclusivity? Has it crossed your mind that there are newbies here too? In fact, many?
"I think you answered your own question here."
--No, I answered the possible doubts to your suggestion. "playing against different rhythms" can mean a few different things again....if you REALLY need me to break it down again...I can. Just let me know....
"I believe I did give him some constructive feedback. I suggested to him some ideas that may challenge him and hopefully open his scope of playing. I didn't know that suggestions and ideas required full explanations with pages and pages of references, notes and "how-tos" lest they be called non-suggestions. Maybe I need to read the forum rules again."
--No you did not suggest any idea....you "merely" suggested a term and a possible bass drum pattern to work with that term...
"Yes, you are asking me to spoonfeed here. I gave references in my previous posts. Refer to them. If it's not up to your standards or satisfaction, then maybe you should take my ideas and suggestions and elaborate in a way that pleases you. What bone are you trying to pick with me anyway?"
--Again, I explained, I am not asking you to spoonfeed....but simply to just give ONE reference to your suggestion. Gosh, I'm beginning to think you do not even have half an idea!
Yes, it is not up to my satisfaction and therefore I tried to ask you to better explain your suggestions so that all can better benefit from it. Gosh, you are really picking on yourself here! My intentions were VERY SIMPLE and DIRECT! Just think for a quick second....if you would just explain my questions to you in detail....everyone benefits...whether young or old, seasoned or new!
"Everything I practice and learn is useful to any form of music. I thought I made that point lucid in some other threads. Did you not read them?"
--No, I don't read up on you. I apologize here for not doing so.
"No, I cannot. I don't have the time to be spoonfeeding. You're on your own finding it."
--Again....what's with you and spoonfeeding? Answering this again will be a waste of my time really....
"I think I have answered that with clarity."
--Again, your initial suggestion wasn't clear....it was just a meaningless term used and an exercise that you suggested with no clear reference to anything. Even if its referenced to you, its still something that you could have elaborated to help benefit all!!
"Why is it you feel you have to be redundant with me? Do you feel like you're a detective trying to expose something to make me look like a fool or poser? I really don't know what your problem is, and maybe I don't want to know. Is your point of responding to me in the manner that you have just to show off your chest and big arms? Or are you yourself trying to add substance to this thread with your interrogations on my posts? Please: If you don't like my posts, then complain to the management and have them deleted"
--You said it yourself:- "Seriously... were did I get personal. I really would like to know. Sometimes offences aren't founded or based in reality. Looking for "offences", or fabricating "offences" is usually called "baiting". And, that in itself, is offensive."
Ok, look it wasn't my intention to create such a heated discussion. All I did was asked a sincere question so that we all could get a clearer understanding of Bruce's ideas....
Sorry James. This will be my last post here.
