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!
 
Hooo boy. Not very long, I'm afraid.

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.
 
I feel like You should pay me $125 per hour for reading this :)
I hope you feel better now.
"Now, go do the right thing" (Dr. Laura)

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!
 
I predict: not very well.

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.
 
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! :hiding:

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

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.
