Jeff Berlin is Back, But for How Long? Drumrole, Please!

Howdy to All. If you didn’t know it, I was banned from Talkbass until today. I am not sure why, so I went back to read my past comments that I wrote after Fergie Fulton (finally) went away. Unless I was missing something, I was pretty much within the boundaries that this website lays out as its rules. At least I thought so because I never actually read them!

I know that the moderators don’t like to be talked about publicly, and so I won’t write anything that can be attributed to a clear and direct comment from me about them, though, I will address my thoughts in non-specifics! This site does permit passive aggressive comments, and I want to obey the rules here! If I don’t write anything directly violating the rules of the website, then everything is OK, right? So if I tell you to use your ba** well, I hope that you all will use your BAIT well because you can’t catch fish otherwise. Get the point? See what I am doing? OK. Now read on!

The mod******* who bloc*** me can go f*** him****! I went over all my comments before I was blo**** from these pages, because I was curious what I might have done to get blo**** in the first place. I couldn’t find a thing!

After I was blo**** from these pages, a few other guys commented about the unfair manner that they also were trea*** by some mod******* over here. Some of these mod******* already have a rep with some talk**** members for being jer**s. If the rul** are for everyone, there are still an awful lot of people here who get away with mur***. Their comments enter into the realm of rude and disruptive and the mod******* do nothing about it. Why? Because they agree with what is being said! Some of the mo******* would be surprised to know that a lot of people on talk** think the same thing about them as I do. So, again, to some of the m********* on these pages, for your blatant b***s*** preferential treatment of some talk**** memb*** over others, you can s*** m* d***

Now, back to the music!

We'll see! I don't really care, but I had my say and I never spelled out anything in direct terms. Everything is implied, and people could or could not read me correctly or incorrectly. This place allows passive-agressive comments, so I am curious to find out how my comments will be taken. Or, will they just forget about it and let's talk about music. Drum role Please.

Jeff, you're at it again, eh?

The drum is still rolling. You've become TB's most loved deviant.......

I've made a career out of dealing with comments directed at me with no return fire, nothing except to accept that people will say what they say, with not a single word about making it as personal as they have made it twoard me. This is was my only descent into juvenile commentary and I don't apologize for it. Besides, what did I really say?? Nobody can honestly say!

Isn't it drum roll rather than role?

Yep! That's me! The anit-b.s.er! I really don't give s*** to people over here, and frankly, I don't want to take any either. Besides, I feel entitled! This is where my therapy fails me, when I suppose it should really be kicking in.

One of my all-time favorite bassists. The playing on those old Bruford albums still blows me away after all these years. Give'em heck, Jeff!

Love you, Jeff -- and I think everyone would be well served by shutting up and listening to what you have to say.

It depends if what I say is regarded as vague as I intended it. I looked into this before I wrote it. I didn't violate a direct rule because nobody knows what I said exactly. Let's see if the people who use the rules as an overview will funtion according to their own standards over here.

I did, and I'm finished witn innuendo. My comment is all that I wished to make. I am back to discuss music, but don't expect me to lie down when I still don't know what I did wrong.

I don't mind disagreement. I utterly disregard hypocricy, from me, from you from whoever! If you may have a disagreement with something that I've said, then I will be happy to chat about it. But, thanks very much for your kind words notwithstanding.
