Don/Mike

2007-11-17 by john barrick

Hi Don, I really appreciate this list being here - it directly led me to
my m400. 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.

Mike Dickson is a contender in all those categories, and a luminary in
the last. I feel that Mike is a valuable contributor (as are you and
many others) to the list and I really wish that you'd reconsider your
action - we will be lesser for his absence. I mean if we can make it
through "Corn Flakes As Musical Instrument?!?", we should be able to
come through Jon Anderson's lyrical value intact.

Sure, Mike can be a bit of an asshole at times, but who can't? And like
my old man used to say, "Assholes are like opinions - everyone's got at
least two or three"... OK, so I've come to realize that my father
entertained some strange notions...

Here's the thing...

We all have bad days... Basically, we're all assholes at some point of the month... A-hem...

You know why? Because we all have to deal with other assholes that we like at some point of the month!! (or day)

Having said that...

After speaking with some drum colleague's today, I just realised why I can't sleep!! It's because of Simon Phillips and "Space Boogie"!!!

Damn you Simon!!!

Carry on...

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.
