Bro Ripper, i think you need a take a step back and relax. No point getting so worked up man. I already got a reply from brother Randolf himself and he's shown himself to be a much of a gentleman, much like the professional part which you yourself envision of all musicians.
i don't think there is a need for me to review your posts. You have just shown yourself to be sidetracking when u said i tarnish the reputation of the music community. Its ironic(don think i need to explain y, u are a pretty smart guy im sure, go figure) and no offence just pointing it out in case if u fail to realise that.
I think you need to realise that we all entitled to free speech, and in moderation of course. When u just say ppl like me tarnish the reputation of musicians, you are making a sweeping statement and a personal attack, its no longer just a personal opinion or statement. I don't think that is fair to me. And its really up to you whether u want to continue this pointless argument cos im not going to waste my time, having already explained my take on the DS-1 is purely my personal opinion, no harm to anyone.
And just to clear certain things still left hanging in the air, no, it is not my hobby although you may deem it be. I don't think we should make sweeping statements and judge people, you wouldnt know cos you are not me.(just like im sure you would want me to extend the same courtesy to you) Oh and if you think my previous post was just to spite you, I apologise cos my intention is just to clear the air. (im a person who likes to clarify things) if you are still in doubt, just drop me a PM.
Cheers. 8)
