Mellotronists

It's the email that I most look forward to every day, not only
for the valuable information and wide range of opinion and criticism,
but also for the devastating wit and humor delivered by a number of our
members.

But don't we all enjoy the anger and vitriol too? I know I do. It all works out well in the end, and I'm sure if we all got together in one big room with lots of cold beer and a boxing ring... no one would get in the ring but many of us would threaten to.

I think it's time to remember why we're here. I think it's all about contribution, especially the positive kind. I, as much as anyone have strayed on occasion, but apparently the good has outweighed the bad. I also think that Mike has put out a ton of good information, good humorand good music.

Don, let the forum rock. If you become an adversary, no matter what, you should not use that as an excuse to punt someone. That just shows weakness. People should quit if they feel like it; they should not be tossed off unless they threaten another member.

If you wish to privately involve yourself with a member who may be pushing too far, that's great. That should be what you do along with keeping the Internet whores away (although they are fun to mess with).

What you did with Mike would be akin to saying that since it's your football, you get to throw him out of the game because he pissed you off. You need to consider the rest of us the players as well.
