As from today i will never ever post on another Audio forum if i can help it.I've totally had enough of other peoples wars especially when i get involved...i don't need this tbh. Audio forums these days too often deviate from what they were created for.Sorry it's come to this but enough really is enough..

Audio forums these days too often deviate from what they were created for.Sorry it's come to this but enough really is enough..

I'll just pop on from time to time to collect PM's but thats it.

Indeed.

Andre, mate - there are far more important things in life to be pissed off with (as you well know), so chill brovva, and come back whenever you're ready :cool:

One thing which always puzzles me though is what difference removing your avatar makes whenever you decide to leave the forum for a while - sorry, I just don't get that! :scratch:

Anyway, dude, see you back soon!

Marco.

Agreed. I too, from time to time, get a bit annoyed with AoS; it's the nature of on-line fora. When this happens, I take a break from posting and just observe for a while.

Whilst there is little you can do about someone using your 'name in vain' in another forum (unless you have posting rights there), I wouldn't worry about it. It's their problem not yours.

Hope you won't desert us for too long - I think I speak for most of the AoS membership in saying that we enjoy your, sometimes 'distinctive', contributions.

'Haste ye back'

I echo all of the above.
Have a rethink i a few days time mate.


Just a thought but maybe if it could be arranged for the Art of Sound clock to show a pre-1973 date you'd feel more like this was a true home from home!
........and none of those things would've happened yet!

You need to stop listening to your Prog for a while and listen to some of my chillout tunes... And a couple of bevvies... Ok, just the 2nd bit! Hope we won't see you away for too long bud.

Hi Andre

Pm me with the details of this problem and maybe we can sort it out or at the very least just talk about it.

It would be a real shame if you left AOS.

Andre just take what ever time you need from time to time like Barry I also take a break from the site or just post on the music section which for me is a kind of refugee from when things really get mad. Everyone sees you as a large part of the forum and I would miss the latest link to another obscure prog classic

Andre, I've also encountered people discussing myself on forums I'm either not a member of, or on which I rarely post (I see that some, self proclaimed, 'expert' has just classed me as a 'parasite' on another forum). To be honest, the world is not short of cowards, fools or the downright stupid; you just have to rise above it as there is no point in arguing with the cerebrally challenged.

Joe

I've been told I'm a Yank, a lesbian, a typical product of the comprehensive system, from Yorkshire, a doctor in Scotland, a racist, a communist and a Nazi.

No doubt the criticisms of Andre (whatever they are) are equally wide of the mark.

I've solved this problem by only posting on one forum and never hardly looking at any others. There's not much you can do about other peoples attitudes. You can make up a new set of rules to try to stop stupidity and rudeness but then they just create a better idiot twice as obnoxious as before.

I've solved it by not giving a toss about what anyone writes about me. Basically anyone who criticises me is a half-wit at best and can safely be ignored or laughed at.

Out of curiosity, I did that vain and narcissistic thing: typing one's forum name into Google.

I'm pleased to say that there were only three hits directly related to me: one from this forum; one from the World Design forum; and the third from the Quad user's site. All of them were posts made by me, not about me!

I feel somewhat ignored; a bit of a non-person! But then the only opinions I would give credence to would be those of the AoS membership.

There's shedloads about me, but then I've been online since 1995. Amusingly, three people on Facebook have my exact name, which is a tad confusing for those trying to find me.

Your stalkers should use the -"x factor winner" term in their Google searches and that would weed out a lot of the guff!

Sorry Joe :)

I think my favourite mistaken identity was when someone thought I was a doctor in Scotland, which occupationally and geographically was about as far from reality as one could get.

I went to Port Aventura theme park (www.portaventura.com), in Salou, Spain, about 4h30 away from Montpellier.

The kids were happy. :) And me, "I'm getting too old for this shit" (as Murtaugh says): only the main attractions keep me awaken. :lol:

The only *really* good thing, was a mini-concert of some country/rock/blues band over there. Good musicians and nice sound (amps and speakers). :)
