Gigslut, I respect your age or veteran status or astronaut experience or whatever, and I'll agree that people who have more age/experience often have sage wisdom to share. But at this point the argument isn't even about theory. Its about the 3 of you reaaaaally wanting validation that you are right and I am wrong. You got your validation from Silence, and I didnt like it that he was mistreated and now probably thinks all of TB is like that. And now your sights are set on me, who didn't want to engage in the discussion of notes or theory or whatever, I just wanted to stick up for the poor guy.
You dont know my musical aspirations or my life goals. So how are you to advise me on what I should or shouldn't do? Thats why I keep bringing up Band Management/Technique forums... they have an obvious purpose. The Bass Humor & Gigs Stories forums have a purpose too, and its not asking for or giving advice on how people should or shouldnt advance their musical career. You, Febs, and Jive seem to think "well I'm here now, might as well preach to some people." I have no pride in my limitations, and I often explore TB seeking knowledge to better myself. This isnt the time nor place for it. And just as you're all "free" to offer your unsolicited high horsey advice to anyone anywhere, anyone else is free to say No. Why you insist upon it so damn hard is a mystery to me and I can only attribute it to filling your ego.
Now I see Jive1's "humble opinion and experience" once again being used to justify why he just can't let it rest either. Do you guys act like this in real life? If someone doesnt agree with you, do you keep harping on them until they crumble and submit? Like I said, at this point its not even about music theory or about knowing notes. We could point out all of each others' hypocrisy all day long, the one that springs to mind now is how Silence was accused of always needing to get in the last word... which I guess I'm doing now, and someone else will do when they inevitably respond to me. All I can say at this point without contradicting myself is good day, and sorry your ego won't be getting a boost from me today.
Plankspanker, I respect your stance on bacon, though I dont agree with it. To each his own.
But the rest of you really outta try this eggplant.
