Yeah, but at least people know my full name and have some knowledge of me
since a number of us have worked together over the years.

What's garbage, Paul, is just being Paul and lambasting me for my considered
opinions. The other shoe is that you took the opportunity to get after me,
without, yourself, adding anything to the audio aspect of the group.

It has nothing to do with artistic types being opinionated, because
everyone
is opinionated in some subject.

The point is that over the past 3+ years we've all be lambasted with
such
things as the Dixie Chicks being the next Beatles because they disavowed
a
love for Bush. If you want to end the off topic conversations here,
then
help get rid of Bush in the next election, if you can.

To say that these discussions are "off topic" is true, in the broadest
sense
of the word, but not true when it comes down to how the events of the
last
3
years have eaten us all a new asshole, and since there's no sphinctoid
muscle, all the **** comes pouring out.

Daily we are inundated with the most appalling hyperbole from both
sides,
but the majority of it comes from the fact that something CAN be said
against this administration's behavior and our place in the world, and
our
frineds and family dying in another country across the world. If these
things don't affect you, then you are all the better for it, but don't
try
to make it a requirement that I go to some other newsgroup simply to
argue
points. We don't do that here. We argue amongst our brethern of the
audio
art, and that makes a difference.

And no, you're not being out of place. I'm just adding my own $.02.

"
If you like arguing politics, there are many good newsgroups to do it
in.
I
know artistic types tend to be opinionated, and can't resist a little
politicalizing amongst others of similar creative interest, but when
we
have
OT forks back to the root from threads that were off topic to begin
with,
things are more than a little out of hand.

Sorry if I'm out of place, being an irregular here and all - just my
2c.
