The problem seems to be you seem to think that, if you cannot be rude, you cannot express the way you think. No-one is saying don't offer criticism - it's the reason we post music here in the first place. The problem is, you can't seem to figure out a way to say it that isn't rude. That's a problem with your writing skills, not with your ability to offer criticism.
You could write to your boss, and offer criticism if it was asked for, but I guarantee you would NEVER use the words that get posted here if you wished to continue being employed! You would find a way to say it politely.
That's all we expect here - some degree of mutual respect. Please keep offering your opinion to those who seek it (and even those that don't!) but just pretend (if you can't actually bring yourself to REALLY respect the poster) that they are someone you don't want to offend.
Diki-
1) I don't recall ever being rude or accused of being rude to anyone on this forum...ever.
2) Your analogy about writing my boss doesn't work well. One is a professional business relationship which requires a certain form of communication. The forums are far more relaxed. My writing skills have served me just fine throughout my career in corporate America and the 10+ years I've been doing music for my living.
3) Who are you to presume that I don't respect others who are posting here? What examples could you provide of this alleged disrespect or rudeness.
Ironic how I've received several private emails from both sides of the Scott/Taike thing complimenting me on my input. I have also seen a couple public responses also endorsing my postings.
Your response is a little baffling, I'm afraid.
