I've reread the related threads twice now and I'm still looking for where someone "tried to take Mikey apart" or "spat upon him." Did some seem to disagree with his premise that he communicated with humour, yes...

I can totally see billing yourself with different stage names where you're targeting different markets.

For our purposes here, we're not really marketing our services to each other. I don't expect Diki to hire me nor am I likely to hire him. So, imo, to have different screen names on a private forum is rarely a good thing.

Now mind you, Mikey and I are very friendly. I would love to catch one of his shows as I really think he's great at what he does. Friends surely can have a difference of opinion, right?

There's been a few mentions of Scott Yee. Scott is without any question both knowledgable and enthusiastic about his music. He was also very supportive of virtually everyone who's questions or work came across his path. However, more than once Scott posted a sample of his work that may or may not have suited him well. (As we all have done...) Scott, I recall, never seemed comfortable whatsoever with any kind of criticism. Mind you I'm not talking about jerks who were clearly out of line and everyone knew it. There were times when a respectfully worded opinion of his work would upset Scott and then several of Scott's closest admirers would take up his cause and then things usually got pretty heated for a while.

I like that on Cass's EJam, there has been little of the drama like that...

Scott's, not unlike Donny P's., work stands on its own. The knowledge/experience level is very, very high and they are among the best I've ever seen around here. Yee knows more about the Tyros line than anyone else I've ran across.

I hope Scott comes back...

I hope Donny comes back...
