1. The player is so moderately skilled, he/she isn't aware of the level of incompetence.

2. Individual ego is driving written comments (bragging) and mediocre performances. It's a self-centered attention issue, not a music issue.

Either way, I have a really good chuckle and wish the person doing the posting well. Members with experience and talent know the score. Negative comments are really not necessary for me. The poster may not have enough ability to even understand constructive criticism. And, if we're dealing with a marginal performance by a good person really trying to learn, the obvious thing to do is encourage.

Thanks, Tony, for a well reasoned approach to
understanding some really childish behavior.


And, as always, thanks goes to Nigel for the unselfish way he keept this thing going.

Russ....always a pleasure hearing for you...
thanks for your participation on this subject....We are all human and as such, we are all subject to the frails of being human. The good thing is that as humans, we
have the capacity to know right from wrong
and to own up to our errors and learn from them, when we ignore them and don't learn,
we move down the ladder of humanity. Insults and disrespect to each other do not
benefit any one but cause to promote more insults and disrespect, this behaviour is detrimental to the existence of the forum.
I agree with your take on the negative post
discouraging others to stay from posting
Remembering that we all started some where at a lesser level of competence and should
temper our criticism accordingly. Thanks again Russ, peace.
